3 Assemblies and Functional Description
3.1 Functional Description
Safety mechanisms

– An enclosed truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe truck handling. The
overhead guard protects the driver from falling objects.
– The drive wheel and the load wheels are protected by a solid skirt. A residual
danger remains for third parties, even when a skirt is used.
– The Emergency Disconnect immediately disables all truck functions in hazardous
situations.
– Gates on either side of the cab interrupt all truck operations as soon as they are
opened.
– The load direction gates disconnect all truck operations as soon as they are opened
(EKS with load backrest only).
– Line brake safety valves in the lift cylinders restrict the load lowering speed in the
event of a hydraulic system failure.
Deadman button

After the truck is ready for operation ((see "Preparing the truck for operation" on
page 195) or (see "Preparing the truck for operation with an additional access code
(o)" on page 196)) and the gates are closed, the deadman button in the footwell:
– t=
must be depressed once to allow the driver to work with the industrial truck. When
the travel control knob is released and the industrial truck is stationary, the parking
brake engages (prevents the truck from rolling away).
– o=
Depress and hold down to allow the driver to work with the industrial truck. Lifting
and travel are inhibited if the driver takes his foot off the foot switch. Steering and
braking remain enabled. When the deadman button is released and the industrial
truck is stationary, the parking brake engages (prevents the truck from rolling
away).
11.14 EN

21
Emergency Stop safety feature

– If an error is detected by the controller the truck automatically brakes to a halt.


Control indicators on the driver’s display indicate the emergency stop. Each time
the truck is switched on, the system performs a self test which only releases the
parking brake (emergency stop) if the functional test is positive.
Brake system

EKX 410 brake system:


– The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as
both parking and handbrake. The parking brake is electrically released and
actuated through spring pressure.
– The operator can brake gently and reduce brake wear by pulling back the travel
control button or by changing direction. This feeds energy into the battery (service
brake).
EKS 513 - 515 / EKX 513 - 515 brake system:
– Electronically controlled drive brake and wear-free electromagnetic multiplates
brake acting on the load wheels.
– The operator can brake gently and wear-free by pulling back the travel control
button or by changing direction. This feeds energy into the battery (service brake).
– The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as
both parking and handbrake. The parking brake is electrically released and
actuated through spring pressure.
– Depending on the lift height, the load wheel brake acting on the front axle (electro-
magnetic spring pressure brake) is only activated when the Emergency Disconnect
switch is pressed or if the truck is set to emergency stop. The load wheel brake is
electrically released and actuated through spring pressure.

11.14 EN

22
Drive system

– Vertically mounted, heavy-duty and maintenance-free threephase motor with no


wear parts. The motor is directly attached to the single-wheel driving gear, ensuring
rapid and trouble-free maintenance.
Steering

– Extremely smooth steering with threephase drive system (sturdy and maintenance-
free threephase motor with no wear parts).
– The steering wheel is integrated in the control panel. The position of the steered
drive wheel is shown in the driver's display. The maximum steer angle is ± 90°.
– In rail guidance mode the drive wheel is set to the straight-ahead position by
pressing a button. Manual steering is deactivated in this mode (o).
– When wire guidance mode is activated, the steering is assumed by the truck
controller when the guide wire is detected. Manual steering is deactivated in this
mode (o).
11.14 EN

23
Controls and displays

– Ergonomic controls ensure fatigue-free operation for sensitive application of the


travel and hydraulic operations.
– Soft keys to control functions (attachment traverse, fork carriage rotate ...) and
menus.
– Colour driver's display unit displays all important driver information such as steering
wheel position, overall lift, truck status reports (e.g. faults), service hours, battery
capacity, time and wire guidance status etc..
– Control panel with electrically adjustable tilt angle.
– Height-adjustable control panel.
– Non-switch two-handed operating principle for maximum safety and operating
comfort. Sensors record any contact made by the operator and feed this
information to the on-board computer.
– For EKS only:
Different control panel arrangements available (o).

Electrical System

– Electronic system with wear-free sensors.


– Service laptop connection interface:
To configure all the key truck data (limit position damping, lift cut-out, retardation
and acceleration patterns, cut-outs etc.) rapidly and reliably.
To read off the error log to analyse fault causes.
To simulate and analyse program operations.
Simple function extension by releasing code numbers.
– The controller is fitted with a CAN Bus and a constantly recording sensor system.
All operations can be set using parameters. The controller provide smooth start-up
and braking of the load in all limit positions through end position and intermediate
dampers. The MOSFET three phase controller provides smooth start-up of all
movements.
– Highly efficient three phase technology with energy recovery for the traction and lift
motors provides high travel and lift speeds and better use of energy.
– Simultaneous main lift and auxiliary lift raise / lower (EKS 513 - 515 / EKX 513 - 515
only).
– Simultaneous main lift and auxiliary lift lower.
– Speed recording on the wheels with traction control and drive wheel wear
recognition (o).
Z For traction battery options, (see "Battery types" on page 99).
Hydraulic system

– All hydraulic operations are controlled by a sturdy, maintenance-free AC motor with


no wear parts and with a flanged low emission gear pump.
– Oil is distributed via magnetic switch valves. The varying oil requirements are
controlled by the speed of the motor.
– During a lowering operation the hydraulic pump drives the motor which then acts
as a generator. The energy recovered in this way is fed into the battery
(regenerative lowering).
– Extremely torsion-resistant mast for high residual capacities and minimal mast
sway.

Rack Height Select (o)

Rack Height Select can be used both to lift and lower the load as well as for stacking
and retrieving.
With rack height select, the drive can select the required lift height via a keypad.
Lifting automatically ends when the required lift height is reached.
Rack Height Select is designed for a range of warehouse areas with different rack
heights.

CAUTION!
Accident risk from fork replacement
If you replace the forks with ones that differ from the originals, the capacity will
change.
XWhen replacing the forks you must attach an additional capacity plate to the truck.
XTrucks supplied without forks are given a capacity plate for standard forks (length:
1150 mm).

44
h3 (mm) Q (kg)

D (mm)

The capacity plate (44) gives the capacity Q (kg) of the truck for an upright mast. The
maximum capacity is shown as a table with a given load centre of gravity D (mm) and
the required lift height h3 (mm).
The capacity plate (44) of the truck indicates the truck's capacity with the forks as
originally supplied.

Example of how to calculate the maximum capacity:

h3 (mm) Q (kg)

4250 850 850 600


3600 1105 1105 850
2900 1250 1250 850

D (mm) 500 600 700

lanyard.

The friction shock absorbing lanyard consists of an aluminium body through which the
safety rope is guided in accordance with EN 354 or EN 353-2.
At one end of the safety rope is a rope end connection (secured knot) that prevents
the safety rope from slipping through in the event of a fall. At the other end of the
safety rope is a safety karabiner hook.

The friction shock absorbing lanyard reduces the impact force that occurs in case of
a fall to max. 6 kN by reducing impact force through the friction of the core cladded
rope as it is guided through the aluminium body.

4 Industrial Truck Operation
4.1 Safety regulations for truck operation
Travel routes and work areas

Only use lanes and routes specifically designated for truck traffic. Unauthorised third
parties must stay away from work areas. Loads must only be stored in places
specially designated for this purpose.
The truck must only be operated in work areas with sufficient lighting to avoid danger
to personnel and materials. Additional equipment is necessary to operate the truck in
areas of insufficient lighting.

DANGER!
Do not exceed the permissible surface and spot load limits on the travel routes.
At blind spots get a second person to assist.

NOTE
Loads must not be deposited on travel or escape routes, in front of safety
mechanisms or operating equipment that must be accessible at all times.

11.14 EN

188
Travel surface

The travel surface on which the truck is to be used on must be suitably maintained in
order to provide the required traction for travel, steering and braking under the
prevailing ambient conditions.
The details on the truck data plate assume a level and dry travel surface. Other
ground surfaces may have a negative affect on the stability of the truck. They will
result in a modification of the rated performance (e.g. speed reduction etc.) of the
truck.
Ground and ground conditions

The ground on which the trucks are used must be level and smooth. There must not
be any gaps, drainage systems etc. in this area.
The ground must be well maintained to keep it free of contamination, obstacles and
liquids that could affect the safe operation of the truck.

CAUTION!
There must be no ramps or inclines in areas where forklift trucks are used.

NOTE
Static charge can cause material damage to truck components
When the truck is operated on a surface with a shunt resistance in excess of 106ȍ,
static charge can result in damage to electric components (controller, control panel,
...).
XOperate the truck only on surfaces with a shunt resistance of less than 106ȍ.
XThe anti-static conductor must be in contact with the ground during operation.
11.14 EN

189
Travel conduct

The driver must adapt the travel speed to local conditions. The truck must be driven
at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passageways, when passing
through swing doors, at blind spots and when entering and leaving the narrow aisle.
The driver must always observe an adequate braking distance between the forklift
truck and the vehicle in front and must be in control of the truck at all times. Abrupt
stopping (except in emergencies), rapid U turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind
spots are not permitted. Do not lean out or reach beyond the working and operating
area.
Do not use a mobile phone or walkie-talkie without a handsfree device while
operating the truck.

WARNING!
What to do it the industrial truck tips over
If the industrial truck is in danger of tipping over, the driver must not jump out of the
vehicle or hold any body parts outside of the driver's cab.
The driver must:
XCrouch down,
XHold onto the operator position with both hands,
XLean against the direction of fall.

11.14 EN

190
Visibility when travelling outside the narrow aisle

The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear view of
the route ahead.
Loads that affect visibility must be positioned at the rear of the truck. If this is not
possible, a second person must walk in front of the truck as a lookout. In this case
proceed only at walking pace and pay particular attention. Stop the truck immediately
if visual contact is lost between the lookout and the operator.
Use the mirror only to observe the traffic behind you. Should you need visibility aids
(mirrors, monitors etc.) to ensure adequate visibility, practice working with them
beforehand.
Procedure and visibility when operating with a raised driver's cab and load
handler

DANGER!
Accident risk when operating the truck with driver's cab and load handler
raised
Working with the driver's cab and load handler raised can affect the driver's visual
conditions. Other people can be injured in the truck's hazardous area. The hazardous
area is defined as the area in which people are at risk from the truck movement, the
load handler, attachments etc. This also includes areas which can be reached by
falling loads or lowering operating equipment. Apart from the driver (in the normal
operating position) there should be no other people in the truck's hazardous area.
XWhen carrying out hydraulic or travel operations, make sure that nobody is present
in the hazardous area.
XInstruct other people to move out of the hazardous area of the truck.
XStop working with the truck if people do not leave the hazardous area.
11.14 EN

191
Crash protection

The driver must not leave the operator position in a raised position. Do not climb onto
parts of the building or other trucks and do not climb over safety devices such as
railings or gates. If Euro pallets are stored lengthways it may not be possible to reach
items from the operator platform without the use of aids. The proprietor must provide
the operators with suitable tools to pick the items without putting them at risk.
Load aids may only be walked on if suitable safety devices such as pallet guard and
pallet tipover safety mechanisms are in place.

WARNING!
Danger of falling due to improper use of controls and components
Climbing on the gates, control panel, driver's cab guard, driver's seat, etc. can result
in the driver falling out of the driver's cab.
XThe operator must not climb on the gates, control panel, driver's cab guard, driver's
seat etc.

Z When the driver's cab is raised an optional warning may sound if a gate is opened.
The lift height at which the warning sounds, can be set by the manufacturer's
customer service department.

192
Negotiating slopes and inclines

WARNING!
Do not negotiate slopes or inclines.

Travelling on docks / dock plates / loading platforms

WARNING!
Do not travel on docks, dock plates or loading platforms.

Negotiating lifts

Lifts may only be entered if they have sufficient capacity, are suitable for driving on
and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The driver must satisfy himself of the
above before entering these areas. The truck must enter lifts with the load in front and
must take up a position which does not allow it to come into contact with the walls of
the lift shaft.
People travelling in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck
has come to a halt and must exit the lift before the truck.
Towing trailers and other vehicles

CAUTION!
The truck must not be used to tow a trailer or other vehicles.

10.8.2 Horizontal positioning on the EKX
In conjunction with the integrated rack height select, this provides for consistent
stopping and load collecting in the rack and at transfer stations with minor, monitored
deviations.
Positioning accuracy:
– The positioning accuracy with warehouse navigation is ± 5 mm vertically and ± 30
mmhorizontally.
To achieve constant insertion widths over the entire lift height, ten height-dependent
traverse adjustment values can be programmed as an option.
The aisle and fork positions are checked on entry to the aisle.

Z The manufacturer's customer service department is specially trained to carry out


these operations.
Options
– Manual entry of destination via cursor keys and numerical keypad
– Entry of destination via barcode scanner on the control panel or load handler
– Destination entry via radio connection
– Type of stacking operation, (see "Stacking operation (o)" on page 405)
– Extension lock during travel without target or incorrect target

10.8.3 Warehouse and stockpicking mode (o)
Warehouse mode:

– In storage mode pallets can be stacked and retrieved, (see "Traversing / rotating
outside and inside narrow aisles" on page 230).
– The vertical position of the warehouse location entered is the height of the forks.
This ensures that the required pallet is stacked or retrieved.
– The horizontal position of the warehouse location entered is the centre of the load
handler. This ensures that the required pallet is stacked or retrieved.
Stockpicking mode:

– In stockpicking mode articles can be gathered together.


– The vertical position of the warehouse location entered is the picking height (raised
operator position height: 1600 mm). This ensures that the required articles can be
picked.
– The horizontal position of the warehouse location entered is the centre of the
driver's cab. This ensures that the required articles can be picked.

10.12.9Truck operating modes with on-board charger
The on-board charger allows two different operating modes to be selected:
– Compensation charging mode, (see "Compensation charging mode" on page 465).
– Charging during travel (trickle charge), (see "Charging during travel (trickle
charge)" on page 465).

10.12.10Compensation charging mode


Z Compensation charging should be performed at least weekly to preserve the life of
the battery. It requires the truck to be switched off.

Compensation charging can be carried out in two ways:


– Battery charge with the on-board charger without the collector, (see "Battery
charge with the on-board charger without the collector" on page 468).
– Battery charge in the narrow aisle at a fixed charging position with the collector,
(see "Stationary battery charging in narrow aisles" on page 470).

10.12.11Charging during travel (trickle charge)


This form of charging is used in narrow aisles to capture peak currents which occur
during stacking and to keep the battery at a constant operating voltage, (see "Battery
charging in narrow aisles during operation" on page 472). With this type of charge the
battery is charged up to 80%.

3 Servicing and Inspection
Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important requirements for the safe
operation of the industrial truck. Failure to perform regular servicing can lead to truck
failure and poses a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.

WARNING!
The application conditions of an industrial truck have a considerable impact on the
wear of the service components.
We recommend that a Jungheinrich customer service adviser carries out an
application analysis on site to work out specific service intervals to prevent damage
due to wear.
The service intervals stated are based on single shift operation under normal
operating conditions. They must be reduced accordingly if the truck is to be used in
conditions of extreme dust, temperature fluctuations or multiple shifts.

The following servicing checklist indicates the operations to be performed and the
respective intervals to be observed. Maintenance intervals are defined as:

W = Every 50 service hours, at least weekly


A = Every 500 service hours
B = Every 1000 service hours, or at least annually
C = Every 2000 service hours, or at least annually
t = Standard maintenance interval

6.2 Functional Description
The Aquamatik water replenishment system is used to adjust the rated electrolyte
level automatically on traction batteries for industrial trucks.
The battery cells are interconnected through hoses and are attached to the water
supply (e.g. water container) through a plug connection. When the shut-off cock is
opened all the cells are filled with water. The Aquamatik plug controls the amount of
water required and, at the relevant water pressures, ensures the water supply is shut
off and the valve is closed securely.

The plug systems have an optical level indicator, a diagnostic port to measure the
temperature and electrolyte density and a degassing port.

6.3 Adding water


Water should be added to the batteries just before the battery is fully charged. This
ensures that the amount of water added is mixed with the electrolyte.

6.4 Water pressure


The water replenishment system must be operated with a water pressure in the water
line of 0.3 bar - 1.8 bar. Any deviations from the permissible pressure ranges will
affect the operation of the systems.

Water drop

Assembly height above battery surface is between 3 - 18 m. 1 m corresponds to 0.1


bar

Pressure water

The pressure regulating valve is adjusted to suit the system and must lie between 0.3
- 1.8 bar.
03.13 EN

15
6.5 Filling time
The filling time for a battery depends on the electrolyte level, the ambient temperature
and the filling pressure. Filling ends automatically. The water supply line must be
disconnected from the battery when the water has been filled.

6.6 Water quality


Z The quality of the water used to fill up electrolyte must correspond to purified or
distilled water. Purified water can be produced through distillation or ion
exchangers and is then suitable for the production of electrolyte.

6.7 Battery tubing


The tubing of the individual plugs is in accordance with the existing electric circuit. No
changes should be made.

6.8 Operating temperature


Batteries with automatic water replenishment systems should only be stored in rooms
with temperatures > 0°C, as otherwise the systems could freeze.

03.13 EN

16
6.9 Cleaning measures
The plug systems must only be cleaned with purified water in accordance with DIN
43530-4. No parts of the plugs must come into contact with solvent-based materials
or soap.

6.10 Service mobile vehicle


Mobile water filling vehicle with pump and filling gun to fill individual cells. The
immersion pump in the container generates the necessary filling pressure. The
service mobile must be at exactly the same height as the battery base.
03.13 EN

17
7 Electrolyte circulation
7.1 Functional Description
Electrolyte circulation ensures the supply of air during charging to mix the electrolyte,
thereby preventing any acid layer, shortening the charge time (charge factor approx.
1.07) and reducing the formation of gas during charging. The charger must be
suitable for the battery and electrolyte circulation.
A pump in the charger produces the necessary compressed air which is introduced
to the battery cells via a hose system. The electrolyte is circulated via the inlet air and
the electrolyte density level is constant over the entire length of the electrode.

Pump

In the event of a fault, e.g. if the pressure control system responds for an unknown
reason, the filters must be checked and replaced if necessary.
Battery connection

A hose is attached to the pump module which together with the charge leads is routed
from the charger to the charging connector. The air is passed on to the battery via the
electrolyte circulation coupling ducts in the connector. When routing make sure the
hose is not bent.

Pressure monitoring module

The electrolyte circulation pump is activated when charging begins. The pressure
monitoring module monitors the build up of pressure during charging. This ensures
that the required air pressure is provided for electrolyte circulation charging.

In the event of malfunctions such as:


– Battery air coupling not connected to circulation module (if coupling is separate) or
faulty.
– Leaky or faulty hose connections on battery or
– Intake filter contaminated
a visual error message appears on the charger.
03.13 EN

18
NOTE
If an installed electrolyte circulation system is seldom used or not used at all,
or if the battery is subjected to severe temperature fluctuations, the electrolyte
may flow back into the hose system.
XAttach a separate coupling system to the air inlet line, such as: locking coupling on
the battery side and through-coupling on the air supply side.
