3 Safety instructions
WARNING
The proper and safe lubrication and maintenance of these lift trucks as recommended
by the manufacturer is outlined in this document. Read this manual before performing
any lubrication or maintenance on these trucks. Improper performance of lubrication or
maintenance procedures is dangerous and can result in injury or death.
Do not make any alterations or repairs that can weaken the truck’s structure or
endanger safety.
Do not operate the truck unless you have read and understood the instructions in the
operator manual. Improper truck operation is dangerous and can result in injury or
death.
Knowledge of the system and/or its components is important before the removal or
disassembly of any components.
The following sections list some basic precautions that should always be observed.
3.1 Service area safety
• Keep the service area clean. Oil, grease, and water make the floor slippery.
• If possible, make all repairs with the truck parked on a level, hard surface.
• Before starting to work on the truck, hang a "Do not Operate" sign in the operator
compartment.
• The truck must always be supported on jacks, if working underneath it.
• Do not work on any truck that is supported only by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use
blocks or jack stands to support the truck before performing any disassembly.
• Lower the forks or other implements to the ground before performing any work on
the truck. If this cannot be done, make sure the forks or other implements are
blocked correctly to prevent them from falling unexpectedly.
• Use steps and grab handles (if applicable) when mounting or dismounting a truck.
Clean any mud or debris from steps, walkways or work platforms before use.
Always face the truck when using steps, ladders and walkways. When it is not
possible to use the designed access system, use ladders, scaffolds, or work
platforms to perform safe repair operations.
• To avoid back injury, use a hoist when lifting components weighing 23 kg (51 lb) or
more. Make sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition and of the
correct capacity. Make sure all hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not
to be side-loaded during a lifting operation.
• Make sure all protective devices including guards and shields are properly installed
and functioning correctly before starting a repair. If a guard or shield must be
removed to perform the repair work, use extra caution.
• Always support the mast and carriage to keep the carriage or attachments raised
when performing maintenance or repair work that requires the mast to be in the
raised position.
3.2 Personal safety
• Remove all rings, watches and other pieces of metal jewellery before you start
working on the truck. If a metal object gets into contact with an electrically
conductive part, it may cause a short circuit or a serious burn.
• Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working around trucks.
In particular, wear protective glasses when using a hammer or sledge on any part of
the truck or its attachments. Use welder’s gloves, hood/goggles, apron and other
protective clothing appropriate to the welding job being performed. Do not wear
loose fitting or torn clothing.
3.3 Work safety
• Unauthorized truck modification is not permitted. No modifications or alterations to a

powered industrial truck, which could affect, for example, capacity, stability or safety
requirements of the truck, shall be made without the prior written approval of the
original truck manufacturer, its authorized representative, or a successor thereof.
This includes changes affecting, for example, braking, steering, visibility and the
addition of removable attachments. When the manufacturer or his successor
approves a modification or alteration, the manufacturer or successor shall also
make and approve appropriate changes to the capacity plate, decals, tags and
operation and maintenance handbooks.
Only in the event that the truck manufacturer is no longer in business and there is
no successor in the interest to the business, may the user arrange for a modification
or alteration to a powered industrial truck, provided, however, that the user:
a. arranges for the modification or alteration to be designed, tested and
implemented by an engineer(s) expert in industrial trucks and their safety,
b. maintains a permanent record of the design, test(s) and implementation of the
modification or alteration,
c. approves and makes appropriate changes to the capacity plate(s), decals,
tags and instruction handbook, and
d. affixes a permanent and readily visible label to the truck stating the manner in
which the truck has been modified or altered, together with the date of the
modification or alteration and the name and address of the organization that
accomplished those tasks.
• Switch off the truck's power before opening the cover of the motor compartment or
the electrical system.
• Relieve all pressure in the air, oil or water systems before disconnecting or
removing any lines, fittings or related items. Release the residual pressure when
removing a pressurized device.
• With sit-on trucks, dismount the seat for the duration of the service work.
• Before operating, lubricating or repairing the product, read all warning plates and
decals on the truck.
• Do not use your hands to check for oil leaks.
• To avoid burns, pay attention to the hot sections and hot fluids in lines, tubes and
compartments, even when the truck is idle or off.
• Only use clean oil in the hydraulic system.
• Repairs requiring welding should be performed only with the appropriate reference
information and by personnel adequately trained and knowledgeable in welding
procedures. Determine the type of metal and select the correct welding procedure
and electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal strength equivalent at least to
that of the parent metal.
• When welding, always disconnect the battery and electronic devices. Remove all
paint from a 10 cm radius from the welding point to avoid creating toxic gases
during welding.
• Use proper lifting procedures when removing any components.
• Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradually remove the last two bolts or nuts
located at opposite ends of the cover or device. Before removing the last two bolts
or nuts completely, pry the cover loose to relieve any springs or other pressures.
• Be careful when removing filler caps, breathers and plugs on the truck. Wrap a cloth
around the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under
pressure. Be aware that the danger of being sprayed or splashed is always greater
immediately after stopping the truck, as the fluids are very hot.
• Use only well-maintained tools. Also make sure that you use the tools in a proper
way.
• Reinstall all fasteners with the same part number. If a replacement is needed, do
not use a fastener of lesser quality.
• Do not damage wiring during the removal process. Do not reuse any damaged
wiring. When reinstalling, make sure the wiring does not come into contact with any
sharp corners or hot parts. Place all wiring away from the oil pipe.
• Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause
fires. Do not bend or strike any high pressure lines or install ones that have been
bent or damaged. Inspect all lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Pin hole (very small)
leaks can result in a high velocity oil stream that will be invisible close to the hose.
This oil can penetrate the skin and cause personal injury, so use cardboard or
paper to locate pin hole leaks.
• Tighten connections to the correct torque. Make sure that all heat shields, clamps
and guards are installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibration or rubbing
against other parts during operation. Protective shields against oil sprays onto hot
exhaust components in the event of a line, tube or seal failure must be installed
correctly.
• Do not operate the truck, if any rotating part is damaged or comes into contact with
any other part during operation. Every high speed rotating component that has been
damaged or altered should be checked for balance before reusing.

4.3.4 Driving position
A pallet truck equipped with a foldable operator’s platform can be driven either walking
behind the truck (the pedestrian mode) or standing on the platform (the riding mode).
4.3.4.1 Pedestrian mode
Figure 8. Operator’s platform and side guards in the pedestrian mode
To drive the truck in the pedestrian mode, lift the operator’s platform up by lifting it
slightly and allowing the gas spring to lift it up completely and then fold the side guards
in.
To drive the truck in the direction of the forks, walk behind the truck and keep both
hands on the tiller arm. To drive in the opposite direction, walk beside the truck and
keep one hand on the tiller arm.
NOTE: The maximum driving speed in pedestrian mode has been limited to 6 km/h.
If you only lift the operator’s platform up but leave the side guards unfolded, the truck
will not move. For more detailed information about the functionalities of the side
guards and operator’s platform, see the section 8.5.1.
4.3.4.2 Riding mode
Figure 9. Operator’s platform and side guards in the riding mode
To drive the truck in the riding mode, lower the operator’s platform to the horizontal
position and unfold the side guards. The side guards keep the operator within the
outlines of the truck and prevent the operator from losing balance.
To drive the truck in the riding mode, step on the platform and keep both hands on the
tiller arm. When you step off the platform, it stays in the horizontal position
automatically.
NOTE: The maximum driving speed in the riding mode is 9 km/h.
It is also possible to drive the truck on the platform without unfolding the side guards.
In this case, the maximum driving speed has been limited to 6 km/h.
There is also an optional 12 km/h speed mode available, where the top speed is
adjusted according to the load.
4.3.5 Driving direction
To go forward, drive the truck in the direction of the forks. To go backward, drive the
truck in the opposite direction.
Figure 10. Driving direction
NOTE: The forward-driving direction is determined in EN ISO 3691-1:2012 Annex A.

4.3.7 Sensors
An inductive sensor is an electronic proximity sensor, which detects metallic objects

without touching them.
The sensor consists of an induction loop. Electric current generates a magnetic field
that collapses, thus generating a current that falls asymptotically toward zero from its
initial level, when the electricity input ceases. The inductance of the loop changes
according to the material inside it and, since metals are much more effective inductors
than other materials, the presence of metal increases the current flowing through the
loop. This change can be detected by sensing circuitry, which can signal to some other
device whenever metal is detected.
Figure 15. Sensor locations
1. Tiller sensor 3. Operator’s platform sensors

2. Side guard sensors
The truck uses the following sensors:
• Tiller sensor
• Four side guard sensors, two on each side guard
• Operator’s platform sensors, two on the right-hand side
4.3.8 Truck suspension
Figure 16. Truck suspension overview
1. Castor wheel suspension 3. Platform suspension

2. Drive unit suspension
The truck has three suspension systems:
• Drive unit suspension

• Castor wheel suspension
• Platform suspension
Together these suspension systems improve the truck’s driving experience.
The purpose of the suspension systems is to ensure the truck’s driving capabilities
regardless of the truck’s loading situation. The drive unit and castor wheel suspension
systems work together and they are tuned according to the truck’s load weight. The
platform suspension is designed to reduce the vibration and shock impact to the truck
driver.

6.2 Power source
This truck product family uses wet lead-acid batteries, which consist of 12 cells and
supply a nominal voltage of 24 volts. The batteries have the maximum capacity of
500 Ah, depending on the truck model. The batteries reside in a separate compartment
and are connected to the system via the X1 battery connector. In the electrical
schematic diagram, the battery is presented as G1 in zone 11 on page 1.
6.3 Safety circuit (emergency stop button)
If the emergency stop button (S9) is in its normal closed position, B+ continues to flow
to the key switch (S1). B+ also flows to the main power contactor coil (K1). The operator
can shut down the system power at any time by pressing the emergency stop button.
When the button is pressed, the connection opens and removes B+ from the main
contactor coil (K1).
6.4 Key switch
The main key switch S1 controls the electrical power supply to the entire system with
the help of the main contactor K1. The coil controlling the K1 contacts is presented in
zone 17 on page 1.
The key switch is activated by turning it to the ON position. When the key switch S1
closes, B+ flows to the coil of the main contactor K1, the negative is connected to the
battery via the controller pin 6 of the connector XA1B and the contactor K1 closes the
contacts. Positive electrical power is supplied to the system through the main fuse 5F1.
The fuse 5F1 is rated at 300 A. In the electrical schematic diagram, the location of the
main fuses is illustrated in zone 27 on page 1. After the main fuse 5F1, the +B supply is
fed to the contacts of the pump motor M2. The pump motor negative is controlled by the
pump controller. In the schematic diagram, the M2 contacts are presented in zone 21 on
page 1.
The traction motor is controlled by the traction controller. In the schematic diagram, the
M1 contacts are presented in zone 23 on page 1. The main voltage is supplied to the
terminal BF on the traction controller.
6.5 Traction
The movement of the truck is controlled by the traction controller. Before the truck can
be driven, the battery must be connected, the main key switch must be closed and the
system must have passed the self-test procedure.
When the truck is powered on and in the standby mode, it can be driven by turning the
accelerator at the end of the tiller arm forward or backward. In the electrical schematic
diagram, the accelerator is presented in zones 12 to 15 on page 3 of the electrical
schematic diagram. The accelerator unit receives its positive 24 volt electrical supply
from the pin 2 of the connector XA1C. The negative connection is supplied directly from
- B. When the accelerator is turned forward or backward, it indicates the direction to the
traction controller via the pins 4 and 8 of the connector XA1B. It also provides a varying
voltage to the pin 4 of the connector XA1C. The voltage varies between 0, 3 and 4.7
volts, depending on the position of the accelerator control. The voltage increases as the
accelerator is moved to either extreme.
6.6 AC motor operation
In the induction motor (= asynchronous motor), the stator is powered with alternating
current and designed to create a rotating magnetic field, which rotates in time with the
AC oscillations. In the induction motor, the rotor rotates at a slower speed than the
stator field and therefore the magnetic field through the rotor is changing (rotating). The
rotor has windings in the form of closed wire loops. The rotating magnetic flux induces
currents in the rotor windings as in a transformer. These currents in turn create
magnetic fields in the rotor that interact with the stator field. Due to Lenz's law, the
direction of the created magnetic field is such as to oppose the change in current
through the windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor is the rotating stator
magnetic field, so to oppose it, this rotor starts to rotate in the direction of the rotating
stator magnetic field to make the relative speed between the rotor and the rotating
stator magnetic field zero.
For these currents to be induced, the speed of the physical rotor must be lower than
that of the stator's rotating magnetic field or the magnetic field would not be moving
relative to the rotor conductors and no currents would be induced. As the speed of the
rotor drops below synchronous speed, the rotation rate of the magnetic field in the rotor
increases, inducing more current in the windings and creating more torque. The ratio
between the rotation rate of the magnetic field as seen by the rotor (slip speed) and the
rotation rate of the stator's rotating field is called "slip". Under load, the speed drops and
the slip increases enough to create sufficient torque to turn the load. For this reason,
induction motors are sometimes referred to as asynchronous motors. An induction
motor can be used as an induction generator, or it can be unrolled to form the linear
induction motor, which can directly generate linear motion.
7 Battery maintenance
WARNING
Always keep the truck’s battery clean and dry to prevent tracking currents. Cleaning of
the battery must be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Any liquid in the battery tray must be extracted and disposed of in the prescribed
manner. After cleaning, repair all damages to the tray’s insulation to prevent tray
corrosion and to ensure that the insulation value complies with the standard
EN 50272-3.
If the battery is taken out of service for a longer period, make sure that the battery is
fully charged and store it in a dry, frost-free room. The storage time should be taken into
account when considering the lifetime of the battery.
In case of any malfunctions on the battery or in the charger, contact the battery
manufacturer without delay.
When using motive batteries and chargers, always make sure you follow the current
standards, laws, rules and regulations in force in the country of use
For batteries according to the ATEX directive 94/9 EC, the instructions for maintaining
the appropriate protection class during operation must be complied with (see the
relevant certificate).

accordance with the standard VDI 3616.
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Pay attention to the hazards that can be caused by batteries.
7.2 Battery maintenance
7.2.1 Daily maintenance
Charge the battery after every discharge.
For batteries with electrolyte circulation, check the electrolyte level towards the end of
the charging and, if necessary, top it up to the specified level with purified water
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The electrolyte level must not fall below
the anti-surge baffle, the top of the separator or the electrolyte minimum level mark.
For batteries with filling level sensors, check the illuminated display daily. If the display
is green, the level is OK. If the display shows a blinking red colour, the filling level is too
low.
Check the electrolyte level visually by opening the standard vent plug or by the position
of the float indicator of the water refilling plug and top it up with demineralised water at
the end of the charge.
7.2.2 Weekly maintenance
After recharging, check the battery visually for any signs of dirt or mechanical damages
to the battery’s components. Pay special attention to the battery charging plugs and
cables. In special cases when charging with an IU characteristic curve, also an
equalizing charge must be carried out.
7.2.3 Monthly maintenance
At the end of the charge, switch the charger on and measure and record the voltages of
all cells or bloc batteries.
After the charging has been completed, measure and record the electrolyte density,
electrolyte temperature and the filling level (when filling level sensors are used) of all
cells. If there are any significant changes compared to earlier measurements or
differences between the cells or bloc batteries, charge the battery fully and allow it to
rest for the minimum of two hours. If the problem persists, contact the battery
manufacturer.
Before contacting the battery manufacturer, measure and record:
• Total voltage
• Voltage per cell
• If the voltage readings are irregular, also check the S.G. of each cell
7.2.4 Annual maintenance
In accordance with the standard EN 1175-1, the insulation resistance of the truck and
the battery must be checked by an electrical specialist at least once per year. The tests
on the battery’s insulation resistance must be conducted in accordance with the
standard EN 1987 part 1. The insulation resistance of the battery must not fall below the
value of 50 Ω per Volt of nominal voltage, in compliance with the standard EN 50272-3.
For batteries up to 20 V nominal voltage, the minimum value is 1000 Ω.
For batteries fitted with an electrolyte circulation system, check the filter of the air pump
and clean or replace it, if needed. The filter may need to be replaced earlier than
expected if there are no leaks in the air pipes but for some reason the defect signal of
the air mixing system on the charger or on the battery (on the DC air pump or remote
signal) is illuminated.
During annual maintenance, also check the correct operation of the air pump.
7.3 Recharging the battery
CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is the appropriate model (correct battery type and voltage)
and that the battery has sufficient ventilation.
1. Park the truck in a reserved recharging place.
2. Switch the truck’s power off.

3. Make sure that the charger has
been switched off.
4. Open the battery cover. For instructions, see the section 5.4.4.

8.3.7 Magnetic brake
Figure 64. Magnetic brake overview
Applying a direct voltage to the exciter winding in the magnet body generates a
magnetic force acting on the armature disk, which is then pulled via the air gap against
the pressure of the spring to the magnet body. The decelerating rotor is released and
the brake torque is neutralized.
The electro-magnetic brake is maintenance-free.
The minimum brake disk thickness is 7.5 mm.
1. Remove the drive unit. For more detailed instructions, see section 8.3.1.
2. Disassemble the drive unit. For more detailed instructions, see section 8.3.2.
3. Remove the screws of the magnetic

brake.
4. Check the condition of the brake
disk. If the thickness of the brake
disk is 7.5 mm or less, replace the
brake disk.
8.3.7.1 Coil resistance measurement
Use a multimeter to measure the brake coil resistance. The coil resistance has to be
measured between the brake wires. The value should be ~21 Ω.

8.4.1 Solenoid valve
Figure 66. Solenoid valve overview
Solenoid valve is an electrically controlled hydraulic valve that has two main parts: a
solenoid (coil) and a valve. The solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical
energy which, in turn, opens or closes the valve mechanically. This basic ON/OFF
function is used to control the oil flow to the cylinders.
Type Solenoid
Contact rating 24 Vdc / 22 W
Electrical wiring Quick connect terminals 6.3 x 0.8 mm
The basic solenoid test is to measure the ohms between the solenoid terminals XY1/A1
and XY1/A2. The value should be ~27 Ω.

1. Connect the supply voltage between the brown (+) and blue (-) wires.
2. Measure the supply voltage between the wires.
The value should be +24 Vdc.
3. Measure between the blue (-) and black (output) wires on the voltage area.
When a supply is connected and there are no metallic objects within the sensing
range, the value is approximately 0 V.
When a metallic object is moved within the sensing range, the value is the same as
the supply voltage, i.e. +24 Vdc.
If the values do not match the above, replace the sensor.

If the contacts are stuck together or broken, replace the emergency stop button.
8.6.2 Key switch
Type Key switch
Electrical wiring Plug-in connector 6 poles
Switching output 3 x NO
Spare part RL608414
Figure 69. Key switch
Key switch functionality check:
Measure at the ohms area that the contacts inside the key switch are not stuck together.
When the key switch is in the 0 position, the ohms value is ~0 Ω between the pins 6-1
and 4-5.
When the key switch is turned clockwise once, the ohms value is ~0 Ω between the pins
6-1, 4-5, 6-4, 6-3, 1-4 and 1-3.
When the key switch is turned clockwise for the second time, the ohms value is ~0 Ω
between the pins 6-1, 4-5, 6-5, 6-2, 1-5 and 1-2.
If the contacts are stuck together or broken, replace the key switch.

When the micro switch is in the neutral position, the ohms value is ~∞ Ω.
The value between the COM – NC terminal is ~0 Ω.
When the micro switch is actuated, the values are reversed.
If the contacts are stuck together or broken, replace the micro switch.
8.7 Horn
Figure 71. Horn
Type AMA S.P.A horn
Vs 24 Vdc
Spare part RL604758
If the horn does not work properly, disconnect it and then measure with a multimeter
that the horn is not broken. Set the multimeter to the ohms range, and connect it
between the H1/ A1 and H1/A2 terminals. The value should be ~4 Ω.
Normally the horn creates voltage peaks that may cause problems to other electrical
devices. To prevent these voltage peaks, a diode (V8 in the circuit diagram) is installed
parallel to the horn terminals.
8.7.1 Diode test with a multimeter
The basic diode test is very simple to perform; only two multimeter tests are needed to
ensure that the diode works correctly:
1. Remove the horn.

2. Set the multimeter to the ohms or diode range.
3. Connect the diode’s cathode terminal to the multimeter’s positive terminal and the
anode to the multimeter’s negative or common terminal.
4. Set the multimeter to read ohms or diode.
A low or 0 reading should be obtained.
5. Reverse the connections.

This time a high or OL reading should be obtained.
If the results do not match the expected values, there is something wrong with the diode
connection:
• If the results are opposites of the expected values, the diode has been assembled
with incorrect polarity.
• If the ohms values are ~0 Ω in both directions, the diode is shorted and needs to be
replaced.
• If the ohms values are ~∞ Ω in both directions, the diode is broken and needs to be
replaced.
8.8 Wiring harnesses and cables
There are a few issues that need to be checked with the wire harnesses:
• To prevent disconnection of the switches, the protective spiral shield of the motor
cables must not touch the key switch or the emergency stop button.
• To prevent connector and pin damages, wires and cables must not be installed too
tightly.
• To prevent possible insulation damages, wires and cables must not lie on sharp
edges.
• To prevent wire or cable insulation damages, wires and cables must not be installed
so that a moving element could cause any damage.
The traction motor cables and wires are placed inside the protective spiral, see Figure
72. The wire harness should travel between the U- and V-cables. The correct order of
the cables is important to prevent twisting of the cables.
Figure 72. Traction motor cables and wires inside the protective spiral
At the traction motor end, the cable and wiring lengths must be correct to prevent
insulation damage, see Figure 73. If you have to disassemble the factory-installed cable
set, remember to reassemble the cables and wires with the correct lengths, in the
correct order and making sure they are not twisted.
Figure 73. Correct cable and wiring lengths

the nominal voltage:
NOMINAL VOLTAGE TEST VOLTAGE
Up to 24 V 50 V
Over 36 V 100 V
9.2.2 Checking the insulation tester
Connect the test probe to the frame of the truck (for example, to a non-painted bolt or
bracket) and the other test probe to another bolt or bracket. The tester should show a
zero value.
Figure 76. Checking the insulation tester
9.2.3 Measuring the insulation resistance
The test is performed with the battery disconnected from the truck. All the electrical
components must be in place.
1. Release the emergency stop and turn the key switch to the ON position.
2. Connect the test probe to the frame of the truck (for example, to a non-painted bolt
or bracket) and the other test probe to the plus terminal of the battery connector.
3. Read the resistance value.
4. Measure and read the minus terminal of the battery connector in the same way.
9.2.3.1 Insulation resistance of the truck
Figure 77. Measuring the insulation resistance of the truck
The insulation resistance between the live parts of all the electric components and the
frame of the industrial truck with the exception of the battery is at least 1000 Ω
multiplied by the nominal voltage of the truck system.
NOMINAL VOLTAGE MINIMUM INSULATION RESISTANCE
24 V 24,000 Ω
36 V 36,000 Ω
48 V 48,000 Ω

10 Hydraulic operation
This chapter presents the hydraulic operation of the truck.
CAUTION
Make sure that you have the appropriate version of the hydraulic schematics for the
truck model under maintenance. Contact your supplier or technical support for
information on obtaining up to date documentation for your truck model.
The hydraulic schematic diagram shown in Figure 79 illustrates the operation of the
hydraulic system.

1. Electrical motor 5. No-return valve

2. Hydraulic gear pump 6. Lifting cylinder
3. Relief valve 7. 300 μ sieve
4. Plugged measuring point 8. Solenoid valve
The principle of the truck’s hydraulic operation is as follows:
Lifting:
1. The electrical motor operates the hydraulic gear pump.

2. The hydraulic fluid is pressurized.
3. The fluid pressure is maintained using the relief valve, which opens at a certain
pressure. In such cases, the hydraulic fluid is returned to the fluid tank. The opening
pressure of the relief valve is indicated in the hydraulic schematics.
4. The pressurized hydraulic fluid flows through the no-return valve to the lifting
cylinder.
5. The lifting cylinder piston lifts the forks.
Figure 80. Hydraulic fluid flow during lifting
Lowering
1. The solenoid valve is opened with the lowering switch.

2. The hydraulic fluid flows through the 300 μ sieve back to the fluid tank.
3. As the hydraulic pressure reduces, the lifting cylinder piston retracts and the forks
are lowered.

13 Alarm codes
This chapter explains the meaning of the various alarms that the different controllers
may produce. Refer to the chapter 11 for information on the TruckTool diagnostics
application.
NOTE: If the truck is equipped with the electrical steering option, the alarm codes of
the steering controller are available in section 15.11.10.
13.1 Traction controller
NOTE: Before you start to troubleshoot the truck, make sure that all the power
supplies, fuses and connections are in order. Low voltage in the traction controller
can cause different sorts of alarms.
The fault diagnostic system of the traction controller is divided into two main groups:
• Alarms
These are faults, which open the power bridge and, when possible, also the main
contactor is opened and the magnetic brake activated. Failures in the motor, the
controller or the safety functions cause alarms.
• Warning
These are faults, which do not stop the truck or stop the truck by using regeneration
braking. The controller is working well, but it has detected some conditions that
reduce the performance or stop the truck without opening the power devices.
Incorrect operation sequences or conditions requiring performance reductions (for
example, high temperatures) cause warnings.
The text “Stored” means that the alarm or warning is stored in the traction controller
logbook.
Table 10. Traction controller alarm codes
CODE TRUCKTOOL AND DISPLAY DESCRIPTION
8 Self diagnosis test failed (Alarm) Stored

WATCHDOG
This is a safety-related self diagnosis test within the logic between the master (drive) and slave
(pump) microcontrollers. The alarm indicates that the master and slave watchdog message is
missing or late.
This alarm can be caused by a CAN bus malfunction, which blinds the master-slave
communication. Check all the CAN bus cables and measure the bus resistance between CAN
high and low. The bus resistance value should be 60 Ω. Measure also the CAN cables’
resistance between the truck chassis and the 0 cables. There should not be any significant
connection and the resistance value should be over 1 MΩ.
If CAN bus is OK, the problem is in the controller and it must be replaced.
13 Controller memory error (Warning) Stored

EEPROM KO
This warning is caused by a hardware or software defect of the non-volatile embedded memory
supporting the controller parameters. This alarm does not prevent truck operation, but the truck
will work with the default values.
In case of this warning, perform a CLEAR EEPROM operation. Switch the key off and on to
check the result. If the alarm occurs permanently, replace the COMBIACX controller. If the
alarm disappears, the previously stored parameter values will have been replaced by the
default values.
17 Hardware high current protection failure (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #3
This alarm is caused by a hardware problem in the logic card circuit for high current (overload)
protection.
This fault is not related to external components, so when it appears, replace the COMBIACX
controller.
18 Motor voltage feedback circuit damaged (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #2
This alarm is caused by a fault in the logic board managing the phase’s voltage feedback.
controller.
19 Over or under voltage detected (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #1
This alarm is displayed when the controller detects an overvoltage or undervoltage condition.
The overvoltage threshold is 35 V and the undervoltage threshold is 9.5 V in the 24V controller.
If the alarm is displayed at startup or in the standby mode, it is due to an undervoltage. In such
a case, check the following:
• The key input signal voltage drops below the undervoltage threshold due external loads,
such as DC/DC converters starting up or relays or contactors energizing or de-energizing.
• If no voltage transient is detected on the supply line and the alarm is displayed every time
the key is switched ON, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
If fault is displayed during motor driving, it is due to an undervoltage or an overvoltage

condition.
• If the alarm occurs during traction acceleration or driving hydraulic functions, it is caused by
an undervoltage condition. In such a case, check the battery charge level and the power
cable connections.
• If the alarm occurs during release braking, it is caused by an overvoltage condition. In such
a case, check the line contactor tips and the battery power cable connections.
In some cases, this error can also happen during normal operation. Sharp hits may cause the
emergency stop switch contacts to open for a short period of time. This causes a short 0 V
pulse to the key line causing this error.
28 Pump motor output voltage error (low) (Alarm) Stored

PUMP VMN LOW
Cause 1: Startup test

Before switching the main contactor on, the software checks the power bridge. It turns on the
high side power mosfets one by one and expects the phase voltage to increase toward the rail
capacitor value. If the phase voltage does not increase, this alarm occurs.
In such a case (the main contactor does not close at all), check the following:
• Motor internal connections (ohmic continuity)
• Motor power connections
• Motor leakage to the truck frame
If the motor connections are OK, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
Cause 2: Motor running test
When the motor is running and the power bridge is on, the motor voltage feedback is tested. If
the motor voltage feedback is lower than the commanded value, this alarm occurs.
In such a case, check the following:
• Motor connections
• Whether the motor’s phase windings or cables have leakages towards the truck frame
• That the main contactor closes properly, with a good contact
If no faults are found, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
29 Pump motor output voltage error (high) (Alarm) Stored

PUMP VMN HIGH
This test is carried out when the pump motor is turning. The alarm indicates that the pump
motor output is higher than expected.
• If the motor windings or cables have leakages towards the truck frame
If no problems are found on the motor, the problem is in the COMBIAX controller.
30 Traction motor output voltage error (Alarm) Stored

(low)
VMN LOW
Cause 1: Startup test

Before switching the main contactor on, the software checks the power bridge. It turns the high
side power mosfets on one by one and expects the phase voltage to increase toward the rail
capacitor value. If the phase voltage does not increase, this alarm occurs.
Cause 2: Motor running test
When the motor is running and the power bridge is on, the motor voltage feedback is tested. If
the motor voltage feedback is lower than commanded value, this alarm occurs.
• That the main contactor closes properly, with a good contact.
31 Traction motor output voltage error (Alarm) Stored

(high)
VMN HIGH
Cause 1:
Before switching the main contactor on, the software checks the power bridge. It turns the low
side and high side power mosfets on one by one and expects the phase voltage to decrease
down to –Batt. If the phase voltage does not decrease, this alarm occurs.
Cause 2:
This alarm may also occur when the startup diagnosis has been completed and the main
contactor is closed. In this case, the phase voltage is expected to be lower than 50% of the
battery voltage. If it is higher than this value, this alarm occurs.
In such a case (the main contactor closes and then opens again), check the following:
• That the main contactor closes properly, with a good contact
37 Contactor is stuck closed (Alarm) Stored

CONTACTOR CLOSED
Before driving the main contactor coil, the controller checks that the contactor is not stuck
(closed). The controller drives the mosfets for some milliseconds, trying to discharge the
capacitor bank. If the contactor is stuck, this alarm occurs.
In such a case, check the main contactor tips. If needed, replace the main contactor.
38 Contactor does not close circuit (Alarm) Stored

CONTACTOR OPEN
This alarm occurs if the main contactor has been driven by the controller, but the contactor
does not close.
In such a case, check that the wires to the main contactor coil are not interrupted or
disconnected.
The alarm can also be caused by a fault in the main contactor itself. If needed, replace the
contactor.
52 Pump current 0A while pump running (Warning) Stored

PUMP I=0 EVER
This test is carried out when the pump motor is running, and it verifies that the current feedback
sensor is not constantly stuck to 0.
If this warning is displayed, check that the motor connection has continuity. If the motor
connection is opened, the current cannot flow, so the test fails and the warning is displayed.
If the motor circuit is OK, the problem can be in the current sensor. In this case, replace the
COMBIACX controller.
53 Controller current sensor failure (Alarm) Stored

STBY I HIGH
This alarm is displayed if the current transducer or the current feedback circuit is damaged in
the controller.
controller.
60 Power capacitor charging error (Alarm) Stored

CAPACITOR CHARGE
When the main contactor is open, the rail capacitors are charged from the key line through a
charging resistor. If the voltage on the rail capacitors is low and does not increase, this alarm is
displayed.
In such a case, there are four possibilities:
• Another device connected in parallel with the rail capacitors has failed.
• Something is draining the current between the main contactor and the controller when the
main contactor is open.
• There is a problem in the charging section (for example, a bad contact in the key line).
• A power failure or a logic failure occurred in the controller. In this case, replace the
62 Controller has overheated (Warning) Stored

TH. PROTECTION
This alarm indicates that the controller temperature is over 85°C. The maximum current is
reduced proportionally to the temperature increase. The controller stops when 105°C is
reached.
If this alarm occurs when the controller is cold, there are three possibilities:
• There is a fault in the thermal sensor wiring.
• There is a failure in the thermal sensor.
• There is a failure in the logic.
In all of the above cases, replace the COMBIACX controller.
65 Traction motor has overheated (Warning) Stored

MOTOR TEMPERAT.
This alarm occurs when the analogue temperature sensor has exceeded the threshold 150°C.
• The thermal sensor inside the motor and the outside wiring. The resistance of the sensor
(type KTY83) is 960 Ω at 20°C.
• If the warning occurs when the motor is cold and the thermal sensor is OK, the problem is
in the COMBIACX controller.
• If the motor is overheating, check that air ventilates freely in the motor compartment.
66 Battery charge lower than 10% (Warning) Stored

BATTERY LOW
This warning occurs when the battery charge is calculated as being less or equal to 10% of a
full charge and the BATTERY CHECK parameter is set to a value other than 0 (located in the
SET OPTION menu).
In such a case, charge the battery. If it does not help, measure the battery voltage with a
voltmeter and compare it with the value of the BATTERY VOLTAGE parameter. If they are
different, adjust the value of the ADJUST BATTERY parameter.
When adjusting the battery voltage, voltage should be measured from the key line, after the
reverse polarity protection diode. A good measuring point is, for example, the emergency stop
button terminal. If the battery voltage is measured anywhere else, it will cause invalid operation
of the battery discharge indicator.
74 Contactor driver circuit error (Alarm) Stored

DRIVER SHORTED
This alarm occurs if the driver of the main contactor coil is shorted or the coil is disconnected.
• If there is a short circuit between the connector XA1 C pin 6 and –Batt.
• Condition of the wiring of the main contactor related harness.
If there is no short circuit and the wiring is OK, the driver circuit in the COMBIACX controller is
damaged.
75 Contactor driver damaged (Alarm) Stored

CONTACTOR DRIVER
This alarm indicates that the main contactor driver is not able to drive the load. The device itself
or its driving circuit is damaged.
controller.
78 Accelerator voltage not OK (Alarm) Stored

VACC NOT OK
This alarm occurs when the accelerator output voltage differs more than 1 V from the acquired
minimum during PROGRAM VACC.
In such a case, check the functionality of the accelerator. Perform the accelerator calibration
wizard function.
79 Invalid starting sequence (Warning)

INCORRECT START
This warning occurs because of an incorrect starting sequence.

Use a tester to check for possible reasons for this alarm. The most likely reasons are:
• Incorrect sequence made by the operator.
• Accelerator was active at startup.
• Tiller sensor was active at startup.
• Brake release was active at startup.
• Safety button was active at startup.
If no signal was active at startup, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
80 Direction switches active (Warning)

simultaneously
FORW+BACK
This warning occurs when both travel demands are active at the same time.
Use a tester to check for possible reasons for this warning. If both directions are active at the
same time, check the accelerator and its wiring.
If no direction signals are active at the same time outside the controller, the problem is in the
82 Encoder error (Alarm) Stored

ENCODER ERROR
This alarm occurs if the frequency supplied to the motor is higher than 40 Hz and the feedback
signal from the encoder has a jump higher than 40 Hz within 20-40 milliseconds. This condition
is related to a malfunction of the encoder. In such a case, check the encoder’s mechanical
functioning and its wirings connections. Also check the encoder’s mechanical installation; if the
encoder slips inside the housing, it causes this alarm.
Also electromagnetic noise on the encoder can cause this alarm. In such a case, replace the
encoder. If the alarm persists after replacing the encoder, the problem is in the COMBIACX
controller.
86 PEDAL WIRE KO (Alarm) Stored

PEDAL WIRE KO
The software checks for the connection of the two supply ends of the accelerator’s
potentiometer. The test consists of reading the voltage drop on a sense diode connected
between NPOT and GND. If the accelerator gets disconnected on PPOT or NPOT, no current
flows in this sense diode and the voltage on the NPOT connection drops down.
This alarm occurs if the NPOT voltage is less than 0.3 V and also when the NPOT voltage is
higher than 2 V (to detect also the condition of a broken sense diode).
In such a case, check the voltage on the NPOT and the accelerator connections.
185 Height sensor mismatch (Alarm) Stored

HT SENS.MISM
If the truck is not equipped with side stabilizers, check that the parameter INITIAL LIFT is not
set to 2.
If the truck is equipped with side stabilizers:
• Check the wiring of the height sensor.
• Disconnect the height sensor and test the redundant switches. If the states are not equal,
test if the switch works by moving a magnet in front of it.
• Check that the magnet counterpart (attached to the lifting carriage) is intact.
• Check the wiring of the encoder card (extra I/O).
If the problem persists, replace the height sensor.
186 Motor temperature notification (Warning)

WARN. MOT.TEMP

This warning indicates a pressure sensor problem. Either the pressure sensor’s voltage is not
within the calibrated value range or it exceeds the calibrated values too much.
189 Battery lock not closed (Alarm)

BATTERY LOCK
This alarm indicates that the battery lock is not closed.

In such a case, check the battery lock state from the tester menu. If the lock is stated to be
open while the battery is mechanically locked, check the battery lock sensor operation and
wiring.
190 Motor braking error (Alarm) Stored

BRK TIMEOUT
One possible cause for this alarm is too steep braking ramp (parameter). Try to lower the
braking ramps from the parameters. Also braking at a slope when the truck is loaded can
cause this error.
192 Waiting for EPS (Alarm) Stored

EPS RELAY OPEN
This alarm indicates that there is some problem in the steering and the steering has frozen.
193 Sideguard inputs illegal state (Alarm)

SIDEGUARD INPUTS
This alarm is caused by an invalid combination of side guard inputs.

If both the side guards are in the correct position (both open or both closed), check from the
tester menu if the logic inputs are the same. Check the correct positioning and operation of the
side guard sensors. Also check the wiring of the sensors.
194 Platform inputs illegal state (Alarm) Stored

PLATFORM INPUTS
This alarm is caused by an invalid combination of operator’s platform inputs.

When the operator’s platform is either down with a driver standing on it or up, check from the
tester menu that the logic inputs are correct. Check the correct positioning and operation of the
platform sensors. Also check the sensor wiring.
195 Platform inputs inactive (Warning)

WAITING DRIVER
This is a general warning indicating only that the truck is waiting for an operator.
196 Invalid motor resistance (Alarm) Stored

MISMATCHED RM
This alarm occurs if the motor resistance is different than the value of the parameter MOTOR
RESIST.
In such a case, teach the new motor resistance value by setting the parameter MOTOR
RESIST to 0 and saving the value while holding the tiller arm in the drive position. Restart the
truck after the main contactor is opened. The new settings are active after the restart.
197 Motor resistance acquiring failed (Alarm) Stored

WRONG ACQ
This warning occurs if the controller did not acquire the motor resistance value correctly.
In most cases, this alarm signals that the controller cannot inject current in the motor coils for
some reason. Check the motor connections. Also make sure that the main contactor is closed.
198 Sensorless feedback hardware error (Alarm) Stored

ERROR FEEDBACK
This alarm indicates damage to the controller’s hardware which provides feedback for the
sensorless motor control.
If the problem occurs permanently, replace the controller.
199 PIN teach mode (Warning)

the teaching is finished.
This warning should occur only if the truck is equipped with a PIN code lock.
200 Waiting for valid PIN code (Warning)

WAITING FOR PIN
This warning indicates that the controller is waiting for a valid PIN code. If it occurs in a truck
that does not use PIN code lock, check that the PIN CODE LOCK parameter is set to ABSENT.
This warning should occur only if the truck is equipped with a PIN code lock.
201 Accelerator teach mode (Alarm)

LEVER TEACH IN
This alarm indicates that the controller entered the throttle lever teaching mode. It disappears
as soon as the teaching of the throttle lever is finished.
202 Lift cutout timer active (Warning)

LIFT TIMEOUT
This warning is displayed when the lifting cut off timer has expired (the default value is seven
seconds).
In case of this warning, release the lift button. If the lift buttons are released and the warning
persists: check the following:
• The lift inputs are correct in the tester menu.
• Operation of the tiller and the lift buttons is correct.
• There are no short circuits in the lift button wirings.
203 Pump voltage error (Alarm) Stored

PUMP VMN NOT OK
Cause 1: At startup
The software checks the voltage on the –P terminal and expects it to remain at a steady value.
This alarm occurs if the value does not remain steady.
Cause 2: During operation
If this alarm is displayed during operation, it indicates that the voltage on the –P terminal is too
low when the main contactor is closed.
The software waits for 30 seconds before displaying this alarm, because there are situations
where the pump motor can rotate while the –P output is not activated (pump deceleration).
During this time, it shows the WAIT MOT P STILL warning.
In case of this alarm, check the following:
• Pump motor internal connections
• Pump motor power cable connections
• Pump motor leakage to the truck frame
If the pump motor connections are OK, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
204 Pump voltage warning (Warning)

WAIT MOT.P STILL
See the description of the alarm 203 PUMP VMN NOT OK.
206 High motor voltage during startup (Alarm) Stored

INIT VMN HIGH

alarm occurs.
• Motor internal connections (ohm continuity)
• Motor power cable connections
208 Controller memory error (EEPROM) (Alarm) Stored

EEPROM KO
This alarm is caused by a hardware or software defect in the non-volatile embedded memory
supporting the controller parameters. This alarm does not prevent the truck from operating, but
the truck will work with the default values.
In the case of this alarm, perform the CLEAR EEPROM operation. Switch the key off and on to
check the result. If the alarm persists, replace the COMBIACX controller. If the alarm
disappears, the previously stored parameter values will have been replaced by the default
parameter values.
210 Controller memory error (RAM) (Alarm) Stored

WRONG RAM MEM.
This alarm is caused by a hardware or software defect in the volatile embedded memory.
The controller could be damaged and it should be replaced.
211 Traction motor jammed (Alarm) Stored

STALL ROTOR
This alarm indicates that the traction rotor is stuck or the encoder signal is not correctly
received by the controller.
In the case of this alarm, check if the sign of FREQUENCY and ENCODER on the tester menu
are the same. Also check that it is not zero during a traction request.
212 Controller memory error (RAM wrong) (Alarm)

sensor has either short or open circuited.
In such a case, check that the connector contacts and the cables are in order. Measure the
resistance of the thermal sensor (960 Ω at 20°C).
219 Proportional valve error (Alarm) Stored

PEV NOT OK
This alarm indicates that the voltage on the positive line of the EV outputs (B2) is too high or
too low.
In such a case, check if the voltage dropped down because of a faulty load connected to B2. If
not, replace the COMBIACX controller.
220 Startup diagnosis for key-line failed (Alarm)

KEY OFF SHORTED
This is a startup diagnostic for the key line. This alarm occurs if the key line (XA1 C/1) voltage
drops below the threshold level of 9.5 V.
In such a case, check if the key input signal voltage drops below the undervoltage threshold
due to external loads, such as DC/DC converters starting up or relays or contactors energizing
or de-energizing.
If no voltage transient is detected on the supply line and the alarm occurs every time the key is
switched ON, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
222 Magnetic brake driver error (Alarm)

SMARTDRIVER KO
This alarm indicates that the built-in smart driver is open and not able to provide the magnetic
brake positive.
In such a case, check the harness to see if the smart driver output XA1 B/1 is shorted to –Batt.
If the output stays at a low level even when disconnecting the wire from the connector pin, the
problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
223 Short circuit main cont. or magn. brake (Alarm)

coil
COIL SHOR. MC-EB
This alarm occurs when there is a short circuit in the main contactor or magnetic brake coil.
The typical root cause for this alarm is a problem in the harness or in the coil. Check the
connections and wiring between the controller and coils.
If there are no external failures or problems, the problem is in the controller and it needs to be
replaced.
224 Another device is inhibiting controller (Warning)

WAITING FOR NODE
This warning indicates that the controller has received a message from the CAN bus that
another controller or device in the network has experienced a failure. As a consequence, the
traction controller itself cannot operate, but has to wait for the other controller or device to
recover from the failure.
In case of this warning, check the additional CAN bus devices for faults.
226 Accelerator voltage out of range (Alarm) Stored

to the electromechanical brake coil, is high when the tiller and the brake release switch are
open.
In such a case, check the wiring to see that there is no extra positive supply connected to the
electromechanical brake at the connector XA1 B/1 when the tiller and the brake release switch
are open.
If the output stays at a low value even when disconnecting the wire from the connector pin, the
problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
231 WATCHDOG#2 (Alarm)

WATCHDOG#2
This is a safety related, self-diagnosis test within the logic. The watchdog circuit is composed of
two monostable multivibrators, so there is a double-check of the software execution.
This alarm can be caused by a hardware failure in one or both of the multivibrators or it can be
due to a software execution problem. In both cases, the problem is in the COMBIACX
controller, which must be replaced.
230 Failure in motor control (Alarm) Stored

LOW TORQUE
This alarm indicates a failure in the motor control.

If this alarm occurs often, some of the hardware settings are probably not correct. Also check

If this alarm occurs, release the brake release button and the tiller arm to the up position.
239 Software not compatible with controller (Alarm) Stored

CONTROLLER MISM.
This alarm indicates that the software is not compatible with the controller.
In case of this alarm, flash new software to the controller. If the alarm occurs permanently
replace the COMBIACX controller.
240 Error in lowering valve coil or driver (Alarm) Stored

EVP DRIVER OPEN
This alarm is displayed if the solenoid valve driver is damaged or the solenoid valve coil
impedance is too low.
• Solenoid valve coil impedance
• Wiring
If the solenoid valve driver circuit is damaged, replace the controller.
241 Lift and lower demands active (Warning)

simultaneously
LIFT + LOWER
This alarm occurs when lifting and lowering demands are active at the same time.
Use a tester to check the possible reasons for this alarm. If both demands are active at the
same time, check the switches and wiring.
If no lifting and lowering signals are active at the same time outside the controller, the problem
is in the COMBIACX controller.

controller.
251 Incorrect battery voltage (Alarm) Stored

WRONG BATTERY
At startup, the controller checks the battery voltage and verifies that it is within a certain
window around the nominal value. If this is not the case, this alarm is displayed.
In such a case, do the following:
• Check that the controller’s SET BATTERY parameter value matches the battery nominal
voltage.
• Check from the tester menu that the BATTERY VOLTAGE parameter shows the same
value as the battery voltage measured with a voltmeter. If it does not match, perform the
ADJUST BATTERY function.
• Replace the battery.
When adjusting the battery voltage, voltage should be measured from the key line, after the

15.11 Electrical steering
NOTE: The electrical steering option is installed to the truck during manufacturing, so
this option needs to be selected prior to purchasing the truck.
Electrically powered steering helps the driver to steer the vehicle by augmenting the
steering effort of the steering wheel. The electric motor adds controlled energy to the
steering mechanism, so the driver needs only a modest effort to turn the truck. Power
steering helps considerably when the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly.
The power steering system has no direct mechanical connection to the steering. The
electric motor provides assistance force, which is controlled by the electric steering
controller.
When the tiller is turned to the right or left, the tiller sensor informs the steering
controller that the tiller is turned. The controller starts to turn the steering mechanism
with the steering motor. There are two feedbacks devices; the sensor bearing in the
steering motor and the outer feedback sensor, which provides feedback information to
the controller. With this information, the controller knows the actual position of the
turned wheel and can handle the steering movements carefully.

15.11.8.1 Adjusting the tiller and feedback sensors
The tiller and feedback sensors have two output signals that are crossed together.
Because the output signals are not fully rotating, the sensor axis has to be set to the
correct position (center) when installed to the truck.
Figure 108. Tiller and feedback sensors
1. Connect the supply voltage +5 Vdc between the + terminal (XP1/1) and the
- terminal (XP1/3).
2. With a multimeter, measure the voltage area between the minus terminal (XP1/3)
and output 1 (XP1/2) or output 2 (XP1/4).
3. Turn the sensor axis so that the multimeter shows ~2.5 Vdc.
Now the sensor is centered and can be installed to the truck system.
4. It is very important to assemble the sensor axis in the correct position. When the
tiller sensor or the feedback sensor is at the center position, make sure that also the
tiller and the steering mechanism are in the center position.
5. To minimize the mechanical strain of the sensor axis, make sure that the sensor is
assembled on its bracket as centered as possible.
15.11.8.2 Feedback sensor teaching and steering angle reduction
NOTE: Make sure that all the steering controller parameters are set according to the
latest parameter list.
1. Connect the Zapi hand console to the steering controller and switch the truck on.
2. Go to the SET OPTIONS menu and set FEED BACK DEVICE = OPTION1 and
LIMIT DEVICE = OFF.
3. Press OUT and ENTER.
5. Make sure that the tiller and the steering mechanism turn to the same direction.
6. Turn the tiller straight forward.
7. With the Zapi hand console, go to the ADJUSTMENTS menu and to the ZERO SP
POT parameter. Then press OUT and ENTER.
The value should be ~2.5 Vdc.
8. Turn the tiller slowly to the left until the steering mechanism almost reaches its
mechanical limit. Stop approximately 5 mm before the limit.
9. With the Zapi hand console, go to the ADJUSTMENTS menu and to the SET MAX
FB POT parameter. Then press OUT and ENTER.
10. Turn the tiller slowly to the right until the steering mechanism almost reaches its
mechanical limit. Stop approximately 5 mm before the limit.
11. With the Zapi hand console, go to the ADJUSTMENTS menu and to the SET MIN
FB POT parameter. Then press OUT and ENTER.
12. Go to the SET OPTIONS menu and set FEED BACK DEVICE = OPTION2 and
LIMIT DEVICE = ON.
13. Press OUT and ENTER.
15.11.8.3 Tiller sensor teaching
1. Turn the tiller straight forward.

2. With the Zapi hand console, go to the PARAMETERS menu and set 1ST ANGLE
COARSE = 6.
3. Go to the 1ST ANGLE FINE parameter and adjust the tiller angle versus the
steering mechanism angle to meet the 1:1 transmission ratio. This adjustment is for
turning the truck to the left.
4. In the PARAMETERS menu, the second ANGLE COARSE and the second ANGLE
FINE parameters are used for adjusting the transmission ratio for turning the truck
to the right. The target is to meet the 1:1 ratio.
5. When the adjustments are done, press OUT and ENTER to save the settings.
Figure 109. Adjust the steering transmission ratio to 1:1
15.11.8.4 Steering straight forward calibration
1. With the Zapi hand console, go to the SET OPTIONS menu and set TILLER DEAD
ZONE = ON.
When the truck is restarted, there is a 20 degree dead zone in the middle of the
steering area. Inside this dead zone, turning the tiller does not turn the steering
mechanism.
Be careful while calibrating the straight forward position.
3. Go to the ADJUSTMENTS menu and find the SET STEER 0-POS parameter. By
increasing this value, the steering mechanism turns to the left and by decreasing
this value, the steering mechanism turns to the right.
4. Drive carefully and adjust the tiller and the steering mechanism as straight as
possible. Then drive forward and backward to see how straight the truck is
travelling. If needed, adjust the SET STEER 0-POS. parameter to adjust the straight
forward driving.
5. Press OUT and ENTER to save the settings.
6. After the calibration, restart the truck.
7. After the restart, the TILLER DEAD ZONE parameter has turned to the OFF state
and the dead zone is no longer present. When the tiller is in the straight forward
position, make sure that the truck really travels straight forward. If not, repeat the
calibration steps and restart the truck again.
15.11.8.5 Final adjustment
Make sure that the electrically powered steering runs as it should and no errors are
present. ALARM STEER HAZARD is not a relevant error. It is present when the steering
mechanism is turned to the left or right end limit.
Remember to clear the controller alarm log:
1. Go to ALARMS.
2. Press ENTER and OUT, and then press ENTER twice.
3. Exit the menu.
15.11.9 Steering controller parameter descriptions
Table 12. Main menu: parameter change
Dynamic numbness angle Dynamic numbness smoothens the operation of the

DYNAM NUMB ANG system with small movements. The dynamic
numbness angle defines the angle difference
between the tiller and the steered wheel on which
dynamic numbness is applied.
Value range:
• 0: No numbness if the angle between the tiller
and the steered wheel is greater than five
degrees
• 9: No numbness if the angle between the tiller
and the steered wheel is greater than 60
degrees
Dynamic numbness speed Dynamic numbness smoothens the operation of the

DYNAM NUMB SPEED system with small movements. The dynamic
numbness speed defines the maximum reduction of
the motor speed.
Value range:
• 0: At full dynamic numbness, the steering motor
frequency is clamped to 40% of the maximum
value.
• 9: At full dynamic numbness, the steering motor
frequency is clamped to 100% of the maximum
value.

feedback sensor
• 2: CAN-demanded position and feedback sensor
15.11.10 Steering controller alarm codes
NOTE: Before you start to troubleshoot the truck, make sure that all the power
supplies, fuses and connections are in order. Low voltage in the controller can cause
different sorts of alarms.
The fault diagnostic system of the steering controller is divided into two main groups:
• Alarms
These are faults, which open the power bridge and, when possible, also the main
contactor is opened and the magnetic brake activated. Failures in the motor, the
controller or the safety functions cause alarms.
• Warning
These are faults, which do not stop the truck or stop the truck by using regeneration
braking. The controller is working well, but it has detected some conditions that
reduce the performance or stop the truck without opening the power devices.
Incorrect operation sequences or conditions requiring performance reductions (for
example, high temperatures) cause warnings.
The text “Stored” means that the alarm or warning is stored in the steering controller
logbook.
Table 15. steering controller alarm codes
0 No alarms
NONE
1 No errors (Warning)
CHOPPER RUNNING
2 No Communication (Warning)
NO COMMUNICATION
Combi AC-0 does not respond to the TruckTool.

Check the wiring. Also check the TruckTool functionality by connecting it to some other
controller.
If the TruckTool is functional with another controller, the problem is in the Combi AC-0.
13 Controller memory error (Warning)

EEPROM KO
This warning is caused by a hardware or software defect of the non-volatile embedded memory
supporting the controller parameters. This warning does not prevent the truck from operating,
but the truck will function with default values.
In the case of this warning, try to execute a CLEAR EEPROM operation. Switch the truck’s
power off and on and check the result.
If the alarm occurs permanently, replace the COMBIACX controller. If the alarm disappears,
the previously stored parameter values will have been replaced by the default values.
16 Output voltage error (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #4
This alarm occurs in the rest state if the output of the voltage amplifier Wv-Vv has a drift larger
than ±0,25 V. In such a case, replace the steering controller.
17 Hardware high current protection failure (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #3
This alarm is caused by a hardware problem in the logic card circuit for high current protection.
This fault is not related to external components, so when it appears, replace the steering
controller.
18 Motor voltage feedback circuit damaged (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #2
This alarm is caused by a fault in the logic board, which manages the phase’s voltage
feedback.
This fault is not related to external components, so when it appears, replace the steering
controller.
19 Over or under voltage detected (Alarm) Stored

LOGIC FAILURE #1
This alarm is displayed when the controller detects an overvoltage or undervoltage condition.
The overvoltage threshold is 45 V and the undervoltage threshold is 9 V in the 24 V controller.
If the fault is displayed at startup or in the standby mode, it is due to an undervoltage condition.
In such a case, the check following:
• The key input signal voltage drops below the undervoltage threshold due external loads,
such as DC/DC converters starting up or relays or contactors energizing or de-energizing.
• If no voltage transient is detected on the supply line and the alarm is displayed every time
the key is switched ON, the problem is in the steering controller.
If the alarm is displayed during motor steering, it is due to an undervoltage or an overvoltage
condition.
If the alarm happens during traction acceleration or driving hydraulic functions, it is due to an
undervoltage condition. In such a case, check the battery charge level and the power cable
connections.
32 Steering motor output voltage error (Alarm) Stored

VMN NOT OK
This alarm occurs in the initial rest state after startup if the outputs of the motor voltage
amplifiers are not in the window from 2.2 V to 2.8 V. In such a case, replace the controller.
48 Contactor does not close circuit (Warning)

MAIN CONT: OPEN
This alarm occurs only when the parameter CAN BUS is set to PRESENT. In such a case, the
steering controller must receive event messages from the traction controller. See the traction
controller alarms in chapter 12 for the reason for keeping the main contactor open.
61 Over temperature detected (Alarm) Stored

HIGH TEMPERATURE
This alarm occurs if the controller base plate temperature exceeds 75°C. Improve the cooling
of the controller; otherwise it is necessary to replace the steering controller.

This alarm occurs when the analogue temperature sensor has exceeded the threshold of
150°C.
In such a case, check the thermal sensor inside the motor and the wiring outside. The
resistance of the sensor is 580 Ω at 20°C.
If the warning is present when the motor is cold and the thermal sensor is OK, improve the
cooling of the motor. If that does not help, the problem is in the COMBIACX controller.
70 Output over current detected (Alarm) Stored

HIGH CURRENT
This alarm indicates that the output current amplifier has been over the maximum current level
(not adjustable) for too long. If this alarm occurs permanently, replace the steering controller.

This is a real alarm, which cuts off the traction function. It occurs at the initial alignment if the
straight ahead condition is not met within six seconds. Throughout this time, the steering is not
activated, the safety relays are open and the traction is stopped.
239 EPS waiting for system start. (Warning) Not shown in the display
WAITIN FOR TRAC
At startup, the steering controller needs information from the traction controller to close the
internal safety contacts and to switch to the operational mode. Until this information is received,
this warning occurs. The steering is not activated and the safety relays remain open while this
warning is present.
241 Feedback encoder damaged (Alarm) Stored

ENCODER ERROR
This alarm occurs in the application when ENCODER CONTROL is set to ON and the real
frequency does not match the commanded frequency. This condition is often due either to a
mismatching between the encoder resolution used in the SW and the real encoder resolution,
or to a wrong connection between the two encoder channels. In the later case, switch between
the two encoder channels.
244 Controller memory error 2 (Warning)
