Your electric BP forklift is equipped with two alternating current electric engines
Mod. HT3EL - HT3,5EL
- Traction 14 KW 80V AC
- Pump 17 KW 80V AC
Mod. HT4EL - HT5EL (27x10-12" tyres)
- Traction 20 KW 80V AC
- Pump 20 KW 80V AC
Mod. HT6EL - HT7EL - HT5EL (300x15 tyres)
- Traction 32 KW 96V AC
- Pump 23 KW 96V AC
- Power steering 2,4 KW 96V DC
Three battery packs, equally distributed on the chassis, supply the above mentioned engines with the
energy they need; the battery packs' voltage is 80 V ( elements of 2 Volts each for models HT 3 - 3.5 - 4
- 5 ) is of 96 V. ( 48 elements of 2 volts each for model HT6 ) while the amperes are :
Mod. HT3EL - HT3,5EL - 735 Ah
Mod. HT4EL - HT5EL - 920 Ah
Mod. HT6EL - HT7EL - 920 Ah
A power unit transforms a part of the battery current from 80V / 96V to 12 V in order to power the elec-
tric lighting, the windscreen wiper, the horn and the reverse bleeper.
An electronic panel, placed between the main battery pack and the hydraulic tank, turns all the pulses
it receives from the operator or from any faults on the forklift into manoeuvres and alerts.
The panel is divided internally into two physically separated blocks: the first one (the traction inverter)
that manages the traction control and the second one (the pump inverter) that manages the hydraulic
movements.
It also detects any wrong operator manoeuvres, i.e. not in sequence: in these cases it blocks the
forklift to avoid accidents (this topic shall however be discussed further on).
The BP forklift is rear-wheel drive and is equipped with power steering that activates a double rod sin-
gle cylinder jack placed on the front wheels' axle.
The braking system is composed of : auxiliary hydraulic power steering driven by a pedal which acts
on the drum brakes of the rear wheels, and, of a power parking brake, operated by a RED button
located on the steering column, which acts on the disk Brake caliper located on the transmission in
proximity of differential entrance.
The rear axle (differential) is a carrier type with reducing coupling and its axle shafts oscillate in order
to allow perfect alignment in all conditions.
Some hydraulic jacks allow to perform all the operations the forklift has been designed for (raising and
lowering the forks, inlet and outlet of the lifting unit and frame tilting); the above mentioned operations
are performed via levers placed in the cab to the operator's right side.
The operator's seat is adjustable and comfortable to allow easy manoeuvrability.
Mod. HT3-3,5EL
Mod. HT4-5EL
(27X10-12")
Mod. HT6-7EL
HT5EL (300X15)
This machine has been designed with the function of loading, unloading and transporting Io ads within
the limits and at the positions of the capacity diagram supplied together with the machine (see MARKING
AND IDENTIFICATION chap.).
- PROHIBITION:
ANY OTHER USE OF THE MACHINE OUTSIDE THE ONE SPECIFIED IS TO BE CONSIDERED PRO-
HIBITED, NOT FORESEEN BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEREFORE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
- PROHIBITION:
IN PARTICULAR, IT IS FORBIDDEN TO LIFT OR CONVEY PERSONS.
To use the machine it is necessary and sufficient for there to be just one operator, no other operator or
person must be in the cab or dose to the loader when it is operating
- PROHIBITION:
The machine is not suitable for towing.
- A microswitch incorporated in the seat blocks the power until it "senses" weight.
- The engine will not start when the gear-lever is not in its neutral position.
- There is a pilot lamp on the dashboard at the base of the steering, which signals when the forks
have not fully come back inside the frame.
- The control cab is made so as to protect the operator from falling objects, while safety glass and
a metal grating, on the right-hand side of the cab, protect the operator from any risk of shearing.
- The hydraulic control levers can only be operated mechanically and on purpose by the operator.
- To avoid any movement due to accidentally knocking the levers, they have a protection rod.
- The levers automatically go back into neutral thanks to a spring inside the distributor valve.
- In the event of the engine switching off during lifting, the load will not fall but will automatically stop
(this is ensured by the control distributor valve).
- Whereas, if the operator is lowering a load it will go down slowly without falling; this occurs by me-
ans of a partializing flow valve situated at the bottom of the lifting cylinder.
- This valve is also used to lower the load slowly if the hydraulic pipes burst.
- The lifting chains are sized so that the safety ratio between the breaking load and the rated load
(what the truck can lift) is no less than 5.
- A switch, towards the end of the stroke, slows down the entry speed of the lifting unit; this is so as
not to cause dangerous oscillations of the incoming load (at the limit stop).
- Two choke valves combined with a piloted check valve set before the frame tilting cylinders have
the dual task of slowing down the tilting movement (by sending a smaller amount of oil) and of not
permitting dangerous oil blow-by, during a stop, that would change the angle of the load platform.
- Other measures complete the safety of the BP truck, such as, for example: rear-view mirrors, clim-
bing bracket for the operator and non-slip pedal covers.
- ATTENTION:
Only adequately trained operators are allowed to use the machine.
- PROHIBITION:
It IS FORBIDDEN to transport persons on the load platform and, moreover, it is forbidden to use the
forks to lift persons.
- PROHIBITION:
It IS FORBIDDEN to be under the forks or in the range of action of the truck.
- ATTENTION:
During work, wear suitable footwear, with soles that are not worn and able to keep a good grip in any condition.
- ATTENTION:
Definitely avoid loose or hanging clothes that could somehow get caught up in moving parts.
- ATTENTION:
Before moving the vehicle, make sure the load is resting firmly and stable on the platform.
- ATTENTION:
Make sure the tyres are always in good condition and at the right pressure.
- ATTENTION:
Avoid braking sharply except in the case of an emergency.
- IMPORTANT:
The machine must work on the level while loading, during transport, and when depositing the load.
- ATTENTION:
Check that the ground where you are operating with the truck is sufficiently solid to support the truck.
- ATTENTION:
Never lift loads greater than the rated load of the truck and anyhow always refer to the capacity diagram
before doing any lifting.
- ATTENTION:
Do not use extensions for the forks (this is not foreseen by the manufacturer and would jeopardize the
stability of the truck).
- PROHIBITION:
Do not carry out any lifting operations, up or down, or have the unit enter with the forks turned downwards
(the load could slip and fall). The forks must be horizontal or slightly sloping upwards.
- PROHIBITION:
It IS FORBIDDEN to tamper with the safety valves.
- ATTENTION:
Always use the control levers slowly to avoid sudden movements.
- ATTENTION:
While working, take care not to bump the truck against an adjacent load.
- ATTENTION:
Bends should be handled carefully and at moderate speed.
- ATTENTION:
Sound the horn when the truck is operating in an area where visibility is not good and close to a bend.
- ATTENTION:
While the unit is moving in-out, limit the speed on approaching the limit stops.
- ATTENTION:
Never push loads with the tips of the forks.
- IMPORTANT:
While working, the operator must frequently check no one comes within the range of action of the machi-
ne and have any persons or animals move away before starting the machine.
- If, for work requirements, the truck is shipped dismantled, assembly must be carried out by specia-
lized personnel who know the equipment, following for reference the exploded views of the spare
parts handbook or any other instructions of the manufacturer.
- PROHIBITION -
Performing any assembly / dismantling operations without
the use of authorised and qualified personnel is STRICTLY PROHIBITED
- Before putting into operation, it is then wise to check some points, even though the manufacturer
clearly guarantees the perfect arrangement of the various components at the time of delivery; the
operator needs these checks to get a good approach to the various parts of the truck.
Check the battery charge with the apposite tool in the cab or even better with the densimeter supplied
with the forklift; this second operation is more precise than the first one because, in the event of a dark
green signal on the densimeter, the operator has a guaranteed whole work cycle before needing to re-
charge (it is however recommended to perform this operation before the forklift has functioned, since at a
higher battery liquid temperature its density changes and therefore its real charge level as well).
Check the correct battery water level and in the event of it being low, top it up with the appropriate "tool
for centralised top up". It is recommended to top up alternating each time between the blue connection
and the red one (this ensures an equal density of the liquid throughout the various battery pack elements
and therefore a better performance and durability of the batteries).
Check the oil level carefully via the spy-caps (Fig.4.1 Part.1) placed on the oil tank.
This check must be performed when all the hydraulic levers are in the closed position.
Check that the tyres are not damaged and are inflated at the right pressure (Fig.4.2 Part.1).
Make sure the nuts of the wheel pins are tightened properly (Fig.4.2 Part.2).
To inflating pressure and torque, see specific table.

After having read this instructions and maintenance manual carefully and sitting in a comfortable driving
position and consequently having disconnected, with one's weight on the seat, the first safety movement
microswitch (incorporated in the seat and that does not allow the forklift to move without the driver on
board), the operator must proceed as follows, keeping to a scrupulous sequence of operations:
- ATTENTION:
1) Ensure that the forks do not touch the
ground and that they are raised by at least Pictures are taken with dismounted component
for better understanding
15-20 cm.
2) Ensure that the raising unit is completely
retracted.
3) Ensure that there is nobody in close proxi-
mity of the machine and on the route it has
to cover.
4) Release the hand brake button (Fig.4.3 Part.1)
to free the transmission and at the same time 1
disconnect the second movement safety mi-
croswitch connected to it (the forklift does not
move without this operation).
5) Ensure that the hydraulic distributor command
levers are also in neutral.
6) Turn the key clockwise to switch on (Fig.4.4).
7) Check that the "charge batteries - search for
faults and anomalies" instrument does not
signal, initially, an insufficient battery charge
(even if one only gets such a precise reading
after roughly an hour's work); secondly check 2
that there aren't't any anomalies (see paragra-
ph "MDI CAN ALARMS" in the more specific
manual supplied).

4 - STEERING
(Fig.5.1 Pos."4")
It is necessary to adjust it (by means of the lever on the right of the steering shaft) in the most comforta-
ble manner for your own body; close to the steering shaft (and therefore adjustable with it) is also incor-
porated the switch unit which is used to carry out the various drive controls.
Built into the steering column (and therefore adjustable with it), the switch unit and the control dashboard
are also incorporated with the various command and control instruments (see paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3).

Both the entrance platform and the cab platform are surfaces made in bulb plate to help reduce the risk
of operator slipping during entrance/exit.
After checking and acquired all the meanings of symbols and various commands on the machine, care-
fully follow all instructions given previously in the "Setup".
- ATTENTION:
- Make sure the forks do not touch the ground, but are lifted by at least 15-20 cm.
- Make sure the lifting unit is fully withdrawn.
- Make sure no one is close by the machine or on the route it has to make.
3) As soon as the truck moves, check whether the brakes operate properly.
4) To increase the travelling speed it is sufficient to accelerate the engine; it is not possible to reverse
gear while the truck is moving.
- ATTENTION:
When using the loader it is always necessary to bear in mind the OPERATING LIMITS AND CONDI-
TIONS chapter.
1) Stop the loader sufficiently close to the centre of the load to be transported.
- ATTENTION:
If the load should not be centred, move slowly with the truck so as to be able to lift safely.
- ATTENTION -
KEEP THE TRUCK PLATFORM
IN HORIZONTAL POSITION.
The platform is checked to be horizontal
by the spirit level inside the cabin.
3) Slowly move the lifting unit out and if necessary correct the angle of the forks at the same time.
- ATTENTION:
When the load touches the base of the fork, stop immediately and do not knock it so as not to
give the load a dangerous tilt.
4) Gradually lift the forks to bring them into contact with the load.
6) Lift the load (or lower it if you have forked high up) to a height just above the loading platform.
7) Slowly move the lifting unit in and rest the load on the platform of the truck after the unit has fully withdrawn.
2) Make sure the load is at the centre of the platform and does not protrude from the platform.
3) If the load is formed of bulky pieces of different shapes, make sure it is fixed well and lowered onto the platform.
4) While the truck is travelling, make no sudden movements or bumps so as not to make the load slip.
5) It is advisable, and is not normally necessary, to push the engine to top speed.
- ATTENTION:
While travelling, the load must be resting on the platform and the operator must limit the speed of the
truck so as not to make the load fall and possibly avoid braking sharply.
1) Approach the point for setting down the load, putting the truck in the right position and trying to stop it
as close as possible to the centre of the point.
3) Tilt the forks upwards and lift the load just as far as necessary for setting it down.
4) Make the lifting unit slowly come out until the load is in the right position over the load beneath or over
the ground.
5) Turn the forks into the right position for correctly setting down.
6) Slowly lower the load until it rests on the load beneath or on the ground.
7) Make the lifting unit withdraw, tilting the forks downwards to help the forks come out should they force
down on the load deposited.
1) Check that the lifting unit has fully withdrawn (with the appropriate pilot lamp as well).
2) Before stopping the engine lower the forks onto the ground.
5) Remove the contact key making sure the lights are off.
Every time one opens the door, opening it to the limit, a locking device comes into action (Fig.5.15
Pos."1") that operates on the door.
To open the door from the inside pull the handle (Fig.5.15 Pos."2") to the left to release the lock.
To allow assembling and dismantling the loader, check the SPARE PARTS CATALOGUE is included with
the material supplied along with the machine in order to give it to the qualified personnel who have to
carry out the above operations.
- PROHIBITION -
It IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN for private individuals who are not qualified or authorized
by BP s.r.l. to dismantle or reassemble the machine
It is always necessary to call qualified workshops and anyhow always
use the spare parts of the loader manufacturer.

7 - MAINTENANCE
7.1 - GENERAL
Every modification performed to the machine shall require the machine to be sub-
jected to an additional check for conformity to the machinery directive. The same pro-
cedure shall be required in cases of repairs performed with non-original spare parts.
All procedures or maintenance operations not described in this manual must be performed in
authorized workshops by qualified personnel.
The machine’s operators may only perform the following inspections: fluid level checks, air
filter cleaning, tire pressure checks. These operations must be performed in accordance with
the safety standards described in this manual.
- ATTENTION:
Remember that records of the periodic maintenance operations performed upon the machines
must be kept in accordance with legislative decree no. 626/94 and no. 359/99
- ATTENTION:
Keep the forklift clean and in good operative conditions, the cleaning frequency depends on
the work conditions, however it is good practice to do it once a month.
For maintenance and check over of any device, always keep to the single manufactures' ma-
nuals scrupulously and do not intervene blindly.
Only use original BP spare parts.
When the machine is stationary the forks must necessarily rest on the ground and be com-
pletely retracted into the frame.
Before performing any maintenance intervention on the machine, one must:
- activate the parking brake;
- remove the keys from the dashboard and ensure that nobody can start the forklift.
- ATTENTION:
In the event of a maintenance intervention underneath the left front-rear wheel opening, one
must lower the frame tilting levers completely so that the cylinders are at there limit (closed);
one must in fact consider that the frame oscillates on the axle pins, so one just has to remo-
ve a frame tilting lever pipe for the frame to subside dangerously.
Never mix hydraulic oil with other oils.

It will always be necessary to refer to TABLE N°1 and the following paragraphs of this chapter in order to
provide correct maintenance and always keep the truck efficient, safe, clean and in good working order;
- ATTENTION:
to this end it is wise to:
- Use only genuine BP s.r.l. spare parts.
- When the engine is switched off the forks must necessarily be resting on the ground and be
fully withdrawn into the chassis.
- Before carrying out any maintenance work on the machine, it is necessary to:
1) switch off the engine;
2) apply the parking brake;
3) remove the keys from the dashboard and make sure no one can restart the engine.
- ATTENTION:
- In the case of maintenance work under the left front-rear wheel compartment, it is necessary
to fully lower the frame angling cylinders so that the cylinders are perfectly at the limit stop
(closed); it is in fact necessary to bear in mind that the frame oscillates on the pins of the ax-
les, SO IT IS SUFFICIENT TO DISCONNECT A PIPE OF THE FRAME ANGLING CYLINDERS TO
OBTAIN DANGEROUS ARRANGEMENTS OF THE FRAME!
Check and possibly grease and oil all the parts requiring it at the foreseen lubricating points
(see par. “LUBRICATION AND GREASING”).
Never operate on mechanical parts unless you are qualified or without the appropriate equipment.
Do not run the hydraulic pump dry or with little oil: it would get irreparably damaged.
Do not force the flexible hoses.
Do not tamper with leaded seals, seals, plates and signs applied by the manufacturer.
To order spare parts always indicate the truck chassis number.
Every time the hydraulic fittings are disconnected it is advisable to put on new copper or aluminium
seals before refitting them.
As we have repeatedly said, the forklift's electronic system's batteries have a voltage equal to 80 Volts
or 96 Volts (for model HT6EL - HT7EL).
Since on the other hand the electric system works on 12 Volts, and that there are no other batteries with
such voltage on the forklift, it is easy to understand that there is an instrument able to transform part of
the current from 80 to 12 Volts (96 Volts - for model HT6EL - HT7EL).
Such instrument is called "transformer" and it is placed next to the frame underneath the rear loading
platform; its task is to supply 12 V current to the lighting system (front lights, rear lights, work light, rever-
se light and rotating light), to the acoustic system (horn and reverse bleeper), to the windscreen wiper
and to the dashboard instruments in the cab (see chart - ELECTRIC SYSTEM LAYOUT).
The main functions that an electric forklift needs to operate correctly, are regulated by the electronic system.
By closing the circuit that connects the positive pole to the negative pole one achieves direct electric
current that if transmitted to an electric engine, activates it. Its rotation supplies the mechanical energy
necessary for the movements the forklift requires.
\
The electric traction engine, through its direct connection with the differential inlet, transmits the mo-
tion to the rear wheels.
\
As previously mentioned, the electric traction engine HT4EL and HT5EL (27x10-12" tyres) is an
asynchronous engine, powered by alternating current, with 80 V battery voltage and 20 KW power.
\
For models HT6EL, HT7L, and HT5EL (300x15 tyres) the engine is 32 4KW 96 V in AC.
The electric pump engine is placed underneath the front loading platform; this second engine also
works with the same criteria of the previous one, only that this one, transmits motion to a hydraulic
pump flanged on it rather than to the wheels.
\
The’latter, by pumping oil to the various levers, allows to achieve all the desired hydraulic movements.
\
The electric traction engine for the HT4EL and HT5EL models is an asynchronous engine, powered
by alternating current, with 80 V battery voltage and 20 KW power.
\
For models HT6EL, HT7L and HT5EL (300x15 tyres), the engine is 23KW 96 V in DC.
ELECTRONIC PANEL
\
The high frequency electronic panel translates all pulses received from the operator and from the in-
struments connected to it into commands or alerts and it is placed between the main battery pack and
the hydraulic tank, covered by a protective shield.
\
It is divided internally into two physically separate blocks: the first one (traction inverter) that deals
with problems that affect traction and the second one (pump inverter) deals with everything to do with
the hydraulic pump.
\
Should everything proceed perfectly, the panel translates everything that is required of it into exact
commands; on the other hand, in the event the operator sends control pulses from the cab in an in-
correct sequence, or in the event that an element may breakdown, the panel will no longer perform
the command, but it will send an alert message to the operator in the cab.
\
These messages are sent to the charge indicator leds, that via different flashing, give the operator a
diagnosis for each case.
\
To find out the complete list of the various diagnosis and relative flashing lights, consult the "MDI CAN
manual" regarding the electronic system, or alternatively page 47 of this manual.

- ATTENTION -
ALL THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS ON THE WHEELS OR ON THE MECHANICAL ORGANS
CONNECTED TO THE WHEELS MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH DEFLATED TYRES.
A perfect efficiency as well as a good condition of any vehicle also depends on the correct use and on
constant maintenance of its components. Wheels and rims are essential components in terms of safety;
therefore, they must always guarantee full reliability. For this reason, they require special care and pe-
riodic checks. However, many users do not pay enough attention to these rules and sometimes tend to
neglect essential precautions, which can lead to serious risks.
Wheels and rims in operation are subjected to numerous and complex stress transmitted by the tyre and
produced by radial, axial, tangential loads and collisions, which are continuously variable and, therefo-
re, hard to assess. Rims and wheels are built to guarantee reliability and durability. Nevertheless, the
intended use maximum performance can be largely exceeded, for instance, if the vehicle if the vehicle
travels with considerable overload, after irregular inflation pressure, due to a reduced resistance capacity
caused by corrosion, wear or local deformations. In all these cases the rim presents different and heavier
stress patterns than that for which they were designed for, resulting in a reduction of the safety margin.
This is why it is so important to carry out frequent and accurate checks, intensifying them under seve-
re use conditions, like when going over uneven roads or for heavy loads and high inflating pressures.
Once removed the cover, carefully inspect the rim or the wheel throughout their circumference, especial-
ly if the vehicle has passed through stretches of road with flat tyre. Accurately clean the rim and ring sur-
face clean through sandblasting or simply with a metal brush.
Rust as well as rubber, lubricant or any other foreign residues, must be completely removed, especially
in correspondence of the tyre heel, of the rim components contact areas in the versions with removable
rings, and on hub attachment face, in order to guarantee a perfect housing and coupling of the parts.
Rims and rings that are deformed or dented due to collisions or weakened by excessive corrosion, or
presenting cracks or ruptures, are to be removed. All defective parts must always be replaced, since they
are essential elements in terms of safety and security.
The “safety” section of the ETRTO Data Book, the European organisation composed of the major tyre, rim
and wheel manufacturers, provides accurate and strict indications: “damaged or deformed wheels must
not be used – rims or discs with cracks or ruptures must not, under any circumstance, be repaired
or welded”. Any replacement must obviously be carried out with other items of the same type, with identi-
cal section, diameter, profile and size. In rims and rings for industrial vehicles and trailers, the utmost atten-
tion must be paid to avoid using apparently similar pieces that do not guarantee perfect interchangeability.
7.5.1.3 - Troubleshooting
Below are listed some typical inconveniences that may occur during the use of rims and wheels and their
possible causes.
Rim
- cracks in correspondence of the tyre heels or of the ring hook due to overload or operation with
irregular inflating pressure.
- deformations and dents on the wheel edges, due to collisions with obstacles or to the use of
unsuited mounting tools.
Some specifications provide the instructions for mounting and demounting some particular types of rims.
Even for these operations, the “road safety” section of the ETRTO Data Book gives recommendations to
be carefully followed to prevent negligence and errors that can result in serious injuries. The same rules
are contained in other publications regarding safety, distributed by NHTSA- USA, integrated with proce-
dures and rules that have been made mandatory in USA by OSHA. First of all, before carrying out any
check or intervention on rims and wheels, the tyre must be COMPLETELY DEFLATED.
This rule must be observed not only before removing the tyre from the rim, but also before loosening the
vehicle fixing nuts, especially in case of twin wheels where it is particularly difficult to detect the presence
of damages to the cover or to the internal wheel rim. For a quick and complete air discharge, remove the
central body of the valve and, for safety, press on the casing in order to guarantee that all the air is actual-
ly expelled (any dirt or particles of extraneous matter in the air chamber could obstruct the valve, leaving
a dangerous pressure). Only then can the cover removal operations begin, either using tyre demounting
equipment or manually, using levers, and avoiding any inappropriate action that could damage the rim or
the tyre heels. After an accurate examination of the pieces condition and the replacement of those not
conform, as described above, and before proceeding to mounting operations, the surfaces need to be
protected with a good antirust varnish ensuring an effective abrasion resistance. Tyre mounting must be
carried out by applying lubricant onto the heels and corresponding seats on the rim. The lubricant must
be free from solvents harmful to rubber. Only lubricants recommended by tyre manufacturers are to be
used. As for rims with removable rings, once the components have been accurately placed in their seats,
a first brief air intake up to approximately 0.3 bar can be performed with the rim in horizontal position.
Make sure that the rings are concentric and regularly housed in their seats. The ring stroke-mounting can
be made easier by hitting with a soft material mallet during this first inflation stage. In case of unsatisfac-
tory results or doubts, deflate the cover and repeat the operation. As for inflating the tyre at the prescri-
bed pressure, the wheel is introduced in a safety 'cage' made from sturdy pipes or steel profiles, capable
of bearing the thrust caused by the possible burst of the cover or by the rim rupture. The pressure control
must be carried out at a suitable distance. The cage must be anchored to the ground or to a wall and
must have enough free space around to absorb the effects of a possible quick pressure air expansion.
Before mounting the disc wheels onto the hub, make sure that the attachment surface is smooth and cle-
an and that the nuts and studs are in good conditions.
Rim in 3 components
- Side ring with heel seat in a single continuous component, obtained from a special laminated profile.
- Both seats with a 5° conicity - ensure a regular attachment as well as an effective tyre heel blocking.
- Basic continuous ring, with variable thickness and adapted to stress in every point.
- Valve eyelet in the centre of the rim, for tyres with air chamber
- Lock ring
Attach the basic rim with the hook facing upwards onto the supports. Insert the tyre, after having spread the
suited lubricant onto the parts in contact with the rim. Mount the side ring, lower it and introduce the lock
ring progressively into the basic rim external groove. Inflate the tyre, introducing compressed air from a
piping with sufficient capacity. The edge of the side ring will strike against the tilted end position of the lock
ring. After the first partial inflation, make sure that the rings are concentric and firmly mounted, and then
continue until the prescribed operation pressure is reached.
If the wheels have already been demounted from the vehicle, before starting demounting, deflate the tyre completely.
Place the wheel horizontally, with the rings facing upwards. Place the wheel on suitable supports, so that
the next lever action encounters a rigid reaction on the wheel. Start removing a tyre heel from the rim, in-
serting two levers, between the conical side ring and the heel, then press downwards.
Use levers to continue alternatively and progressively, until the tyre is removed.
Avoid damaging the tyre or the rim components by using a soft material mallet only when absolutely neces-
sary. Insert the end of a lever in the lock ring and lower the side ring.
Use also the other lever, to remove the side ring. Let the lock ring out of the rim groove (using the first lever).
Using the two levers alternatively, continue until the lock ring is completely released.
Remove the side ring. Overturn the wheel and proceed as described above to remove the other heel from
the fixed flange edge.
For tyres that are particularly hard to remove or that have a large number of plies, we recommend using the
apposite hydraulic tool, which allows exerting considerable thrusts and whose hooked end is progressively
inserted between the rim and the heel.
- ATTENTION:
Inspect wheel nut tightening each day.
- ATTENTION:
ALL NUTS ON ALL WHEELS MUST BE MOUNTED OR ELSE THE MACHINE CANNOT OPERATE.
- Whenever changing a machine wheel or whenever a side is to raised, the machine can only be set
back down on the ground with all wheels mounted and properly tightened.
- ATTENTION:
NUT TIGHTENING MUST BE CARRIED OUT FIRST WITH THE MACHINE, OR PART OF IT, RAISED
FROM THE GROUND AND THEN WITH THE MACHINE RESTING ON THE GROUND.
1) - Position the jack under the machine on the side where the wheel is to be changed.
2) - Loosen the nuts of the pins with the special wrench provided.
3) - With the jack, lift up to a height that allows easily removing and refitting the wheel.
5) - Fully unscrew the nuts of the pins and change the wheel; before refitting the wheel check that it is at
the right pressure.
6) - Finally, tighten the nuts, taking care to tighten them two by two in a diametrically opposite position.
7) - Finally, remove the wooden plug, lower the jack and tighten the wheel nuts firmly and fully.
7.6 - BRAKES
- ATTENTION:
All the repair or maintenance work on mechanical part~ must be done only by competent and
specialized personnel.
The braking system is composed of a hydraulic servo brake with a pedal control acting on the drum bra-
kes of the rear wheels and a hydraulic parking brake that, by means of the handbrake lever, acts on the
clamp of the disc brake on the transmission at the differential al intake (see table No. 3).
Because of the importance of the braking system it is wise to pay special attention to both che-
cking and servicing its parts; in particular, check the state of wear of the brake clamp pads at the
differential intake and finally the wear on the friction gaskets of the shoes in the rear brake Units.
- ATTENTION:
BRAKE SYSTEM diagrams are illustrated in the appendix found at the back of this manual.
When we find the first signs of wear on the friction seals of the shoes, it is wise to adjust the shoes; this
is done so braking will always he efficient and the friction seals will wear completely.
1. After positioning wedges to lock the front wheels, lift the two rear wheels by means of a jack.
2. For safety, put a wooden plug under the chassis dose to the jack.
3. Loosen the screw fixing the adjustment block of the braking mass.
4. With a screwdriver, turn the cogged wheel of the adjustment block until the shoes touch against the
brake drum locking the wheels.
5. Operate the brake pedal several times to fill the brake cylinder with oil.
6. Lock the screw fixing the adjustment block of the braking mass (in the opposite direction to point 3).
7. Slowly turn the cogged wheel of the braking mass (in the opposite direction to point 4) just be a few
notches; in this way the wheel will free itself and the operator can realize this by turning the wheel by hand.
- We repeat that this adjustment is only used to correct the play acquired by the brake shoes, due to
the wear of the friction seals.
- It is normal practice to replace the cartridge of the filter of the braking system AFTER THE
FIRST 500 WORKING HOURS AND SUBSEQUENTLY EVERY 1000 HOURS.
- It is necessary to bear in mind that this specifi c braking system uses, within it, not an ordinary oil
fork braking systems, but the same oil as the machine's hydraulic system; consequently there is no
brake oil tank to check the level on.
In any case, for more complete and safe maintenance of the entire brake system, it is advisable to refer
to qualified and specialized personnel.
For HT 3- 3.5 EL version instead, the oil for braking system is Type DOT3 and DOT 4 and the braking
pedal acts on the brakes pump by mechanical leverage and shove.
The Oil tray is located on the basement of the seat external side of the cabin.
- ATTENTION:
All the repair or maintenance work on mechanical parts must be done only by competent and
specialized personnel.
- The telescopic lifting unit is formed of special steel sections; the bearing outfeed rollers and the gui-
ding rollers for lifting the unit are fitted on highly resistant bearings that ensure a longer service life
and perfect alignment of the load at the various heights.
- Treated steel brackets are fitted on the bracket trolley by means of a hooking system that makes it
easy to adjust and replace the brackets.
- The unit coming out by means of two cylinders working in synchronism ensures perfect alignment
during this operation.
- The chains of the lifting unit are anchored on the fork-bearing trolley and on the lifting cylinder ram
by means of two screw stays used to adjust them.
- ATTENTION:
Both chains must always be tightened to the same extent to prevent the load weighing on only
one of them, altering the safety loads!
- ATTENTION:
In addition, when the fork trolley is positioned at the bottom of the unit, the chains must be tight-
ened and not slack; otherwise, pull them by means of the two adjustment screw stays, taking
care to tighten the register locking nuts properly.
- For greater safety it is important to always check the soundness of the chains and keep them clean
and greased.
- Also the bearing and driving rollers, turning on bearings, periodically require greasing (see table No. 4).
TO LUBRIFICATE WITH GREASE EVERY 50 WORKING HOURS TO LUBRIFICATE WITH GREASE EVERY 100 WORKING HOURS
- By means of the power steering, which acts on the only single-ram cylinder with a double stem, the
driver is assured perfect driving with the minimum effort on the steering wheel.
- Two arms directly connect the steering cylinder to the two spindles of the wheel hub, limiting any
play on steering to a minimum.
- Both the front axle and the rear one, thanks to the connection with two hydraulic cylinders (that also
adjust the angle of the load platform and of the lifting unit), are articulated automatically following the
unevenness of the ground; this allows the wheels permanent contact on the ground with any surface.
- For correct greasing, at the various points requiring it, it is wise to refer to table No. 4.
- To grease the tapered bearings of the wheel hubs, it is sufficient to unscrew the hubs and, using a
spatula, fill the inside with grease, taking care to turn the wheels slowly so that grease gets perfectly
in between the bearings.
- ATTENTION:
All the repair or maintenance operations of mechanical parts must only be done by competent
and specialized personnel.
- The transmission unit has a double reduction and the axle shafts, in special high tensile steel, tran-
smit the maximum torque to the rear wheels (rear drive).
- The first reduction of the unit is given by the “bevel gear pair” situated in the central portion of the
differential; here a plug is used to introduce oil that keeps it all lubricated.
- The second reduction (epicyclic reduction) stays at the end portion close to the wheels.
- IMPORTANT:
It is important to change the differential oil with the ones recommended in the appropriate table (see par. 9.3).
- ATTENTION:
All the repair or maintenance operations of mechanical parts must only be done by competent
and specialized personnel.
- ATTENTION:
All the repair or maintenance operations of mechanical parts
must only be done by competent and specialized personnel.

5 - Electropump engine
7 - Proprtional distributor
On this model there is a electronic joystick fitted in an opening connected to the seat's armrest.
The signals from the joystick are processed from an apposite logic that controls the distributor's coils.
The cursor pilot pressure is achieved via a low pressure (roughly 25 bar) circuit derived from the main
hydraulic circuit.
- The hydraulic oil tank (Fig.7.10 Pos."1") is located on the left-hand side of the truck between the
driver’s cab and the engine bonnet.
- It is equipped at the top with an oil filler cap with an outlet (Fig.7.10 Pos."2") and, towards the cab,
with two transparent oil level plugs (Fig.7.10 Pos."3").
- IMPORTANT:
It is important to change the hydraulic oil with the types recommended in the appropriate table.
- The drainage plug is at the bottom of the tank.
- To check the oil level use the dipstick on the tank (Fig.7.10 Pos."3").
- ATTENTION:
To check the right oil level all the truck’s cylinders must be in the closed (withdrawn) position.
- All the hydraulic cylinders have a chrome-plated stem to prevent them easily wearing and conse-
quently leaking oil from the seals.
- In the event of leakage, check the appropriate seals and replace them if necessary; when they have
not been replaced for a long time it is a good idea to replace the entire set.
- Some important valves control the action of the cylinders with greater safety.
- A choke valve applied at the bottom of the lifting cylinder ensures the load goes down slowly even if
the hydraulic pipes burst.
- A switch slows down the lifting unit entry speed towards the limit stop.
- Finally, two choke valves combined with a controlled check valve, located before the frame angling
cylinders, have the dual task of slowing down the tilting movement (by sending a lower amount
of oil) and not permitting oil blow-by, during a stop, that would change the tilt of the load platform.
- IMPORTANT:
It is wise to check that the flexible hoses of the hydraulic circuit are properly tightened and do not knock
against moving parts of the truck; they must be fitted so they have wide bends and do not twist.
- ATTENTION:
When replacing, fit quality pipes observing the weave used in the first loader outfit.
- The hydraulic pump is flanged directly onto the hydrostatic pump outlet.
- The pump normally needs no maintenance, however it is essential not to use it dry or with little oil since it
would get irreparably damaged.
- Considerable protection assurance for the pump and the other hydraulic members is provided by the filter
which, positioned on the circuit, collects any impurities.
- It is good practice to replace the hydraulic filter cartridge after the first 150 hours of work (see chart N.2 -
Pos.1) and subsequently every 1000 hours.
1. The distributor s mounted under the loading platform for models HT4-5 and 6-7 EL and under the base-
ment of the cabin for HT3-3,5EL model.
2. This element, via some control levers that are connected to it, (see Fig. 5.1), operates (with the key in-
serted) the electropump engine, that sends oil to the jacks that correspond to the chosen lever.
3. The control levers move the cylinders for “lifting-lowering”, “in-out”, “frame tilting” and “mobile fork “
(optional).
4. Whilst in "exit-entrance", "frame tilting" and "mobile fork" modes, the electropump engine sends oil with
a constant flow (as one cannot modify the current strength to the engine), in the "raise-lower" mode it is
possible, thanks to a potentiometer connected to the control lever, to increase the current strength as
much as one wishes and therefore the manoeuvre speed.
5. One can achieve a greater "raise-lower" mode speed by increasingly operating the relative control lever.
1. The distributor s mounted under the loading platform for models HT4-5 and 6-7 EL and under the
basement of the cabin for HT3-3,5EL model
2. The distributor is operated by the 24 Volts solenoid driven electrically directly from the panel at the
right hand side of the operator
3. The signals reaching the panel are sent by the electronic joystick located on the armset of the op-
erator seat,
4. A higher speed of each hydraulic function can be obtained by acting on the leverage.
- The power steering has the task of aiding steering, reducing the operator’s effort on the steering wheel to a
minimum.
- The hydraulic pump, with the engine running, constantly sends oil to the power steering which is situated in
the cab under the steering sleeve.
- The power steering is directly flanged with a valve (Olsa 80) which in turn sends oil to the distributor's inlet
for the various hydraulic movements (this all happens both when one does not operate the steering and
when one does).
- When the power steering is constantly being supplied it is easy to understand that it is sufficient to turn the
steering wheel to send oil to the cylinder and steer the front wheels in the desired direction.
- To operate the electropump engine whilst steering it is best to examine two different situations separately:
1 - Steering whilst the forklift is stationary
2 - Steering whilst the forklift is moving
- In the first case, after having inserted the key, press on the brake pedal and then steer (a microswitch con-
nected to the brake pedal operates the electropump engine for roughly 20 seconds); when one is still sta-
tionary, it is not necessary to press the brake pedal if, whilst steering, one contemporaneously performs a
hydraulic movement (the control lever has already activated the electropump engine).
- In the second case, with the forklift moving, the forwards pedal activates contemporaneously both the elec-
tric engines and therefore one performs the steering simply by turning the steering wheel.
Before leaving the machine inactive for long periods of time, take the following precautions:
1) Clean the truck and put it in a room which is neither damp nor dusty.
2) Profusely lubricate the various areas that require it.
3) Grease abundantly and cover the truck with a sheet.
8.1 - HANDLING
The machine may be fitted with 1 tow hook (optional) positioned at the rear of the machine, highlighted in
(Fig.8.1 Pos."1").
- IMPORTANT:
It is however necessary to know that if the truck has broken down it cannot be towed in normal condi-
tions because this would damage the hydrostatic transmission.
Having anyhow to tow the loader, for short distances, it can be done after disconnecting the hydrostatic
motor from the differential entry; to do this it is necessary to unscrew the four bolts assembling the two and to
pull the motor out until its keyed shaft is freed completely.
- ATTENTION:
This operation must be carried out by competent, specialised personnel.
- ATTENTION:
Once the motor has been disconnected, the operator must verify that it remains in a secure po-
sition and will not slide or fall during machine towing, otherwise the chassis could come loose.
- ATTENTION:
Before restarting the elevator, verify that the motor has been properly reassembled by means of
some reliability tests before use.
- ATTENTION:
Starting up the thrust engine is not possible. Any attempt to do so can cause damage to the hydro-
static transmission and is considered a hazardous operation for personnel safety.

8.2 - TRANSPORT
- IMPORTANT:
Depending on the height of the transporting vehicle, the hydraulic unit and the cab can be removed.
- ATTENTION:
All assembly and removal of mechanical parts must be done by competent and specialized personnel.
- ATTENTION:
When the machine travels on roads subject to public thoroughfare, it is necessary to check it is
in compliance with the regulations of the highway code in force in the country where it is used.
- Before loading the machine on a means of transport, ensure that the means and its ramp are free of
oil, grease, ice or other slippery agents.
- Ensure that the vehicle and tow hook are blocked.
- Verify proper application of safety instructions relating to the transport platform before loading the
machine and check that the driver of the means of transport has been informed about the dimen-
sions and weight of the machine.
- Load or unload the machine on flat, level ground.
- Check overall machine dimensions for maximum and minimum permissible heights from the ground
and weight. Check ground contact pressure authorised for the platform with respect to the machine.
- Load the machine on the means of transport, taking care that the ramps have been positioned pro-
perly and safety with a maximum incline of 25%.
- Manoeuvre the machine onto the means of transport with care.
- Before proceeding with transport, verify that the machine has been anchored properly, that the par-
king brake has been engaged and the key removed from the dashboard.
- Position the wedges on the front and rear parts of the machine tyres.
Anchor the machine to the means of transport with chains or cables (Fig.8.2).
Fully tighten cables and chains.
- Tighten windows and lock the cab door closed.
- Respect all anchoring points (Fig.8.2).
- Always check for good conditions on anchors (cables, chains, wedges, etc.) and verify that the ca-
pacity of the means of transport is sufficient for the weight to be moved.
- ATTENTION:
Before transporting it, it is vital to verify that
the machine is anchored correctly and that
the parking brake handle is anchored.
- ATTENTION -
In order to safely transport
the machine, follow all of the steps
described above attentively.
