Foreword
Literature Information
This manual should be stored in the operator's compartment in the literature holder or seat back literature storage area.
This manual contains safety, operation, transportation, lubrication and maintenance information.
Some photographs or illustrations in this publication show details or attachments that can be different from your lift truck. Guards and covers might have been removed for illustrative purposes.
Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes to your lift trucks which are not included in this publication.
Read, study and keep this manual with the lift truck.
Whenever a question arises regarding your lift truck, or this publication, please consult your CROWN dealer for the latest available information.
Safety
The Safety Section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identifies the text and locations of warning signs and labels used on the lift truck. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the Safety Section before operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this lift truck.
Operator Restraint System (If Equipped)
This manual contains safety, operation and maintenance information for the CROWN operator restraint system. Read, study and keep it handy.

WARNING
Your CROWN truck comes equipped with an operator restraint system. Should it become necessary to replace the seat for any reason, it should only be replaced with another CROWN operator restraint system.
Photographs or illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, operation and maintenance of the CROWN operator restraint system.
SAFE and EFFICIENT OPERATION of a lift truck depends to a great extent on the skill and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop this skill the operator should read and understand the Safe Driving Practices contained in this manual.
Forklift trucks seldom tipover, but in the rare event they do, the operator may be pinned to the ground by the lift truck or the overhead guard. This could result in serious injury or death.
Operator training and safety awareness is an effective way to prevent accidents, but accidents can still happen. The CROWN operator restraint system can minimise injuries. The CROWN operator restraint system keeps the operator substantially within the confines of the operator's compartment and the overhead guard.
This manual contains information necessary for Safe Operation. Before operating a lift truck make sure that the necessary instructions are available and understood.
Operation
The Operation Section is a reference for the new operator and a refresher for the experienced one. This section includes a discussion of gauges, switches, lift truck controls, attachment controls, transportation and towing information.
Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting, operating and stopping the lift truck.
Operating techniques outlined in this publication are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the lift truck and its capabilities.
Maintenance
The Maintenance Section is a guide to equipment care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are grouped by servicing intervals. Items without specific intervals are listed under “When Required” topics. Items in the “Maintenance Intervals” chart are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.
Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service should always be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the "Maintenance Intervals" chart might be necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at “Every 500 Service Hours or 3 Months”, also service those items listed under “Every 10 Service Hours or Daily”.
Environment Management
Note that the Crown internal combustion engine lift trucks are manufactured under ISO 14001 system which is harmonized with ISO 9001. Periodic ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITS & ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS have been made by internal and external inspection entities. LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS has also been made throughout the total product life. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM includes DESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENT from the initial stage of the design.
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM considers environmental laws & regulations, reduction or elimination of resource consumption as well as environmental emission or pollution from industrial activities, energy saving, environment-friendly product design (lower noise, vibration, emission, smoke, heavy metal free, ozone depleting substance free, etc.), recycling, material cost reduction, and even environmentally oriented education for the employee.

Pressure Air
Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.
The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury, and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately.
Crushing or Cutting Prevention
Support equipment and attachments properly when working beneath them. Do not depend on hydraulic cylinders to hold it up. Any attachment can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Never attempt adjustments while the lift truck is moving or the engine is running unless otherwise specified.
Where there are attachment linkages, the clearance in the linkage area will increase or decrease with movement of the attachment.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades.
They will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or is pushed into them.
Do not use a kinked or frayed wire rope cable. Wear gloves when handling the wire rope cable.
Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly out and injure nearby persons. Make sure the area is clear of people when driving retainer pins.
Wear protective glasses when striking a retainer pin to avoid injury to your eyes.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when struck. Make sure no one can be injured by flying debris before striking any object.
Falling Objects Protective Structure(FOPS)
This is an attached guard located above the operator's compartment and secured to the lift truck.
To avoid possible weakening of the Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS), consult a CROWN dealer before altering, by adding weight to, welding on, or cutting or drilling holes into the structure.
The overhead guard is not intended to protect against every possible impact. The overhead guard may not protect against some objects penetrating into the operator's station from the sides or ends of the lift truck.
The lift truck is equipped with an overhead guard and FOPS as standard. If there is a possibility of overhead objects falling through the guard, the guard must be equipped with smaller holes or a Plexiglas cover.
Any altering done that is not specifically authorised by CROWN invalidates CROWN's FOPS certification.
The protection offered by this FOPS will be impaired if it has been subjected to structural damage.
Structural damage can be caused by an overturn accident, by falling objects, etc.
Do not mount any item such as fire extinguishers, first aid kits and lights by welding brackets to or drilling holes in any FOPS structure. See your CROWN dealer for mounting guidelines.
Burn Prevention
Coolant
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot water or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Steam can cause personal injury.
Check the coolant level only after engine has been stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.
Remove the cooling system filter cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Cooling system additive contains alkali that can cause personal injury. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and do not drink.
Allow cooling system components to cool before draining.
Oils
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.
At operation temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and can be under pressure.
Remove the hydraulic tank filter cap only after the engine has been stopped and the filter cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.
Remove the hydraulic tank filter cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Relieve all pressure in air, oil fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed.
Batteries
Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.
Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels.
Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.

Warning Signs and Labels
Your CROWN lift truck has the following tipover warning decals.
Make sure that you can read all safety signs. Clean or replace these if you cannot read the words or see the pictures. When cleaning the labels use a cloth, water and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, etc. You must replace a label if it is damaged, missing or cannot be read. If a label is on a part that is replaced, make sure a new label is installed on the replaced part. See you CROWN Lift Truck dealer for new labels.
The most effective method of preventing serious injury or death to yourself or others is to familiarise yourself with the proper operation of the lift truck, to be alert, and to avoid actions or conditions which can result in an accident.

WARNING
Tipover can occur if the truck is improperly operated. In the event of a tipover, injury or death could result.


The "Survive in tipover" warning is located on the overhead guard. It shows the proper use of the operator restraint system.

Avoiding Lift Truck Tipovers

natural_image
Line drawing of a forklift carrying an envelope on a balance scale (no text or symbols)Counterbalanced lift truck design is based on the balance of two weights on opposite sides of a fulcrum (the front axle). The load on the forks must be balanced by the weight of the lift truck.
The location of the centre of gravity of both the truck and the load is also a factor. This basic principle is used for picking up a load. The ability of the lift truck to handle a load is discussed in terms of centre of gravity and both forward and sideways stability.

flowchart
graph TD
A["Wall 1"] --> C["CG"]
B["Wall 2"] --> C["CG"]
D["Wall 3"] --> C["CG"]
C --> E["InsO0241"]
The point within an object, at which the whole weight of the object may be regarded as being concentrated, is called the centre of gravity or CG. If the object is uniform, its geometric centre will coincide with its CG. If it is not uniform, the CG could be at a point outside of the object. When the lift truck picks up a load, the truck and load have a new combined CG.

The stability of the lift truck is determined by the location of its CG; or, if the truck is loaded, the combined CG of the truck and load. The lift truck has moving parts and, therefore, has a CG that moves. The CG moves forward or backward as the mast is tilted forward or backward. The CG moves up or down as the mast moves up or down. The CG and, therefore, the stability of the loaded lift truck, is affected by a number of factors such as:
- the size, weight, shape and position of the load
• the height to which the load is lifted
• the amount of forward or backward tilt - tyre pressure
- dynamic forces created when the lift truck is accelerated, braked or turned
- condition and grade of surfaces on which the lift truck is operated

These same factors are also important for unloaded lift trucks. They tip over sideways easier than a loaded lift truck carrying its load in the lowered position.

For the lift truck to be stable (not tip over forward or to the side), the CG must stay within the area of the lift truck stability base - a triangular area between the front wheels and the pivot of the steer wheels. If the CG moves forward of the front axle, the lift truck will tip forward. If the CG moves outside of the line on either side of the stability base, the lift truck will tip to the side.

WARNING
Dynamic forces (braking, acceleration, turning) also affect stability and can produce tipover even when the CG is within the stability triangle.

natural_image
Illustration of a person holding a box with an arrow, facing another person with an arrow (no text or symbols)The capacity load of the lift truck is shown on the capacity/nameplate riveted to the truck. It is determined by the weight and load centre. The load centre is determined by the location of the CG of the load.
The load centre shown on the nameplate is the horizontal distance from the front face of the forks, or the load face of an attachment, to the CG of the load.
The location of the CG in the vertical direction is the same as the horizontal dimension.
Remember that, unless otherwise indicated, the capacity load shown on the nameplate is for a standard lift truck with standard backrest, forks and mast, and having no special-purpose attachment. In addition, the capacity load assumes that the load centre is no further from the top of the forks than it is from the face of the backrest. If these conditions do not exist, the operator may have to reduce the safe operating load because the truck stability may be reduced. The lift truck should not be operated if its capacity/nameplate does not indicate capacity load.
NOTE: If the load is not uniform, the heaviest portion should be placed closer to the backrest and centreed on the forks.
NOTICE
-
Capacity/Nameplates originally attached to forklifts sold by CROWN shall not be removed, altered or replaced without CROWN's approval.
-
CROWN assumes no responsibility for lift trucks placed in service without a valid CROWN Nameplate.
-
If necessary to change your specification, contact your CROWN lift truck dealer.

natural_image
Line drawing of a forklift carrying a person inside, with a no-smoking symbol in the corner (no text or labels)Do not start, stop, turn or change direction suddenly or at high speed. Sudden movement can cause the lift truck to tip over. Slow the speed of your truck and use the horn near corners, exits, entrances, and near people.
In case of a truck with the steering knob, Do not operate the steering knob suddenly, to prevent accident caused by quick turning.

natural_image
Illustration of a person using a steering wheel to interact with a car, no text or symbols presentNever operate a lift truck with wet hands or shoes. Never hold any controls with grease on your hands. Your hands or feet will slide off of the controls and cause an accident.

natural_image

natural_image
Close-up of a mechanical component with pipes and a small labeled component (no readable text or symbols)Located on the front side of the FCU.
Lift Truck Capacity Rating
Do not exceed allowable lift truck working capacity load ratings.
The capacity of the lift truck is given by weight and distance to the load centre. For example, a capacity of 1200kg (2640lb) at 600mm (24in) means that the lift truck can lift 1200kg (2640lb) if the load centre is 600 mm (24in) from both the vertical and horizontal faces of the forks.
Before attempting to lift any load, ensure that the weight and load centre combination is within the capacity of the lift truck as shown on the capacity rating plate. To determine the load centre, measure the distance from the face of the carriage to the gravitational centre of the load.
The rated capacity on the plate refers to the capacity of the lift truck as it left the factory. Subsequent changes of any form to the equipment or battery can alter the lift truck's rating.
The rated capacity of the lift truck applies to operating conditions where the lift truck is on level ground. The capacity of the lift truck is reduced on inclines.

When the light goes OFF the maximum pre-combustion chamber temperature has been reached and the key can be turned to the START position to start the engine.

- Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge - Shows current temperature of the engine coolant. If the gauge pointer moves beyond the red band during the operation, the engine is overheated. Park the lift truck and
stop the engine.
Check the cooling system for any defect. The pointer will be in the red band when the coolant temperature reaches approximately 110 °C on all engines.

- Transmission Oil Temperature
Gauge - Shows transmission oil temperature If the gauge pointer moves beyond the red band during operation, the engine is overheated. Park the lift truck and stop the engine.
Check the system for any defect. The pointer will be in the red band when the transmission oil temperature reaches approximately 125 °C.

- PSI Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) –PSI engine control system are equipped with built-in fault diagnostics. Detected system faults can be displayed by the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) as Diagnostic Faults Codes (DFC) or flash codes, and viewed in detail with the use of service tool software. When the ignition key is turned ON the MIL will perform a self-test, illuminate once and then go OFF. If a detected fault condition exists, the fault or faults will be stored in the memory of the engine control module (ECM). Once a fault occurs the MIL will illuminate and remain ON. This signals the operator that a faults has been detected by the SECM.

- Seat Belt Warning Light (If Equipment) -
Indicates when the seat belt does not fastened by operator.
The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the on position. The light should go off after engine is started.

- Service Hour Meter - Indicates the total number of hours the engine and the lift truck have operated. The hour meter will operate

natural_image
Interior view of a vehicle cabin with a hand interacting with the seat (no visible text or symbols)NOTE: The seat can only be correctly adjusted with the operator fully seated.
Seat Switch System (If Equipped)

The lift truck is equipped with a SEAT SWITCH SYSTEM. In normal operation if the direction lever is placed in either forward or reverse, the lift truck will move at a speed proportional to the accelerator pedal's position. If the operator leavers the seat without setting the parking brake, within three seconds after leaving the seat, the SEAT SWITCH SYSTEM will automatically disengage the transmission. The directional lever, however, will remain in that forward or reverse location although internally the transmission will have shifted into neutral.
Before exiting the lift truck, the parking brake should always be applied.

WARNING
WHEN LEAVING MACHINE APPLY PARKING BRAKE!
PARKING BRAKE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED.
NOTE: Some trucks may be equipped (ask your dealer if this applies to your truck) with an alarm that will sound if the parking brake is not applied when leaving the machine.
NOTICE
Prior to operating the lift truck, be sure to understand and check the SEAT SWITCH SYSTEM.
While in normal operation and on level ground, select a direction with the directional lever and with the park brake released. You will note that the truck will move slowly in the selected direction. If you lift yours hips off of the seat, within three seconds, the SEAT SWITCH SYSTEM will desengage the transmission allowing the truck to coast but not automatically stop.
To restore the lift truck to normal operation, while sitting in the operator's seat depress the brake pedal to hold the lift truck, return the directional lever to the neutral position, and then reselect a direction of travel (either forward or reverse). The transmission will then re-engage.
If seat or seat switch replacement becomes necessary, be sure to use genuine CROWN lift truck parts. Lift trucks should never be operated without an operational SEAT SWITCH SYSTEM.

Electronic Controlled Spark-Ignition Engines
PSI 4.3L LP Engine
The primary components of the fuel system are the fuel supply, direct electronic pressure regulator (DEPR), fuel mixer, electronic throttle control (ETC) device, 2-Stage convertor, engine control module (ECM), and a catalytic converter. The system operates on a slightly positive fuel pressure. Primary fuel pressure can be measured at the LD 2-Stage convertor. Secondary fuel pressure command and actual fuel pressure is monitored by the ECM.
To obtain maximum effect from the catalyst and accurate control of the air fuel ratio, the emission certified engine is equipped with an onboard computer or Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is a 32 bit controller which receives input data from sensors mounted to the engine and fuel system and then outputs various signals to control engine operation.
One specific function of the controller is to maintain a closed loop fuel control which is accomplished by use of the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen sensor (HEGO) mounted in the exhaust system. The HEGO sensor sends a voltage signal to the controller which then outputs signals to the EPR to change the amount of fuel being delivered from the regulator or mixer to the engine.
The controller also performs diagnostic functions on the fuel system and notifies the operator of engine malfunctions by turning on a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) mounted in the dash. Malfunctions in the system are identified by a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) number. In addition to notifying the operator of the malfunction in the system, the controller also stores the information about the malfunction in its memory. A technician can then utilize a computerized diagnostic scan tool to retrieve the stored diagnostic code and by using the diagnostic charts in this manual to determine the cause of the malfunction. In the event a technician does not have the computerized diagnostic tool, the MIL light can be used to identify the diagnostic code to activate the "blink" feature and count the number of blinks to determine the diagnostic code number to locate the fault in the system.
The primary components of the Gasoline Multi Point Fuel Injection (MPFI) fuel system are the gasoline fuel tank, electric fuel pump, fuel pressure and temperature sensor manifold, fuel filter and fuel rail.
This engine is equipped with a fuel injector rail that does not have a pressure regulator or a return circuit to the fuel tank. Fuel pressure for this engine is regulated by the engine's ECM. The ECM receives fuel pressure and temperature feedback from the gasoline fuel sensor manifold and uses this information to control the ground side of the fuel pump. Fuel pressure is regulated by the ECM pulse width modulating (PWM) the fuel pump. The fuel pressure and temperature sensor manifold has a return or "bleed" circuit that connects back to the equipment fuel tank. This circuit is used to bleed off any vapor that develops in the line and returns a small amount of fuel to the tank. The fuel comes from the fuel tank and passes through the fuel pump. Fuel exits the fuel pump, passes through the filter and then enters the fuel pressure and temperature manifold assembly. Fuel flows through the feed circuit and is delivered to the fuel injector rail. Fuel that enters the bleed circuits through the by-pass valve in the manifold is returned to the fuel tank.

Basic Troubleshooting(LP)
The PSI 4.3L fuel systems are equipped with built-in fault diagnostics. Detected system faults can be displayed by the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and are covered in the Advanced Diagnostics section. Items such as fuel level, plugged fuel lines, clogged fuel filters and malfunctioning pressure regulators may not set a fault code by the Engine Control Module (ECM). Below are basic checks that should be made before referring to the Advanced Diagnostics section, if engine or drivability problems are encountered. Locating a problem in a propane engine is done exactly the same way as with a gasoline engine. Consider all parts of the ignition and mechanical systems as well as the fuel system.
FUEL SYSTEM SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTICS
| Checks | Action |
| Before Using This Section | Before using this section, you should have performed On Board Diagnostic (OBD) Check and determined that:1. The ECM and MIL are operating correctly.2. There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, or a DTC exists but without a MIL.Several of the following symptom procedures call for a careful visual and physical check. These checks are very important as they can lead to prompt diagnosis and correction of a problem. |
| Fuel System Check | 1. Verify the customer complaint.2. Locate the correct symptom table.3. Check the items indicated under that symptom.4. Operate the equipment under the conditions the symptom occurs. Verify HEGO switching between lean and rich.IMPORTANT! Normal HEGO switching indicates the fuel system is in closed loop and operating correctly at that time.5. Take a data snapshot using the DST under the condition that the symptom occurs to review at a later time. |
| Visual and Physical Checks | Check all ECM system fuses and circuit breakers.Check the ECM ground for being clean, tight and in its proper location.Check the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and proper connections.Check thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction.Check for air leaks at all the mounting areas of the intake manifold sealing surfaces.Check for proper installation of the mixer assembly.Check for air leaks at the mixer assembly.Check the ignition wires for the following conditions:CrackingHardeningProper routingCarbon tracking.Check the wiring for the following items: proper connections, pinches or cuts.The following symptom tables contain groups of possible causes for each symptom. The order of these procedures is not important. If the DST readings do not indicate a problem, then proceed in a logical order, easiest to check or most likely to cause the problem. |
INTERMITTENT
| Checks | Action |
| DEFINITION: The problem may or may not turn ON the (MIL) or store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). | |
| Preliminary Checks | Do not use the DTC tables. If a fault is an intermittent, the use of the DTC tables with this condition may result in the replacement of good parts. |
| Faulty Electrical Connections or Wiring | Faulty electrical connections or wiring can cause most intermittent problems.Check the suspected circuit for the following conditions:·Faulty fuse or circuit breaker, connectors poorly mated, terminals not fully seated in the connector (backed out). Terminals not properly formed or damaged.Wire terminals poorly connected.Terminal tension is insufficient.Carefully remove all the connector terminals in the problem circuit in order to ensure the proper contact tension.If necessary, replace all the connector terminals in the problem circuit in order to ensure the proper contact tension (except those noted as “Not Serviceable”). See section Wiring Schematics.Checking for poor terminal to wire connections requires removing the terminal from the connector body. |
| Operational Test | If a visual and physical check does not locate the cause of the problem, operate the vehicle with the DST connected. When the problem occurs, an abnormal voltage or scan reading indicates a problem circuit. |
| Intermittent MIL Illumination | The following components can cause intermittent MIL and no DTC(s):·A defective relay.Switch that can cause electrical system interference. Normally, the problem will occur when the faulty component is operating.The improper installation of add on electrical devices, such as lights, 2-way radios, electric motors, etc.The ignition secondary voltage shorted to a ground.The MIL circuit or the Diagnostic Test Terminal intermittently shorted to ground.The MIL wire grounds. |
| Loss of DTC Memory | To check for the loss of the DTC Memory:1. Disconnect the TMAP sensor.2. Idle the engine until the MIL illuminates.3. The ECM should store a TMAP DTC which should remain in the memory when the ignition is turned OFF. If the TMAP DTC does not store and remain, the ECM is faulty. |

Advanced Diagnostics(PSI 4.3L LP Engine)
The Fuel system has built-in diagnostics for system trouble shooting. The system has a dash mounted malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) that provides indications of engine or fuel system related problem. Most engine control system related problems that affect emissions or driveability of the vehicle will set a (DTC) diagnostic trouble code and illuminate the MIL.
The MIL serves as notification to the operator of a problem related to the emission control system so the driver can arrange for service as soon as possible. It will also display DTCs that have been stored due to a system malfunction.
The MIL should illuminate when the key is in the ON position and the engine is not running. This feature verifies that the lamp is in proper working order. If the MIL does not illuminate with the vehicle key ON/engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the engine is in start or run mode, the MIL should turn off. If the lamp remains on while the engine is in the start or run mode a diagnostic trouble code may be set.
The MIL will be turned OFF after three (3) consecutive run cycles or by clearing the active code with the Diagnostic Scan Tool (DST).
Diagnostic Trouble Codes are set when the GCP (Electronic Control Module) runs a diagnostic self test and the test fails. When a DTC is set, the ECM will illuminate the MIL on the instrument panel and also save the DTC in memory. The ECM will continue to run the self test. If the system continues to fail the test, the lamp will stay illuminated and the DTC is stored as an active DTC. If the self test runs and passes, the DTC will be stored as historic DTC. All DTCs are stored as historic faults until they are cleared. Most DTCs will automatically clear from memory if the DTC does not reset within 50 to 100 consecutive engine run cycles.
While a Diagnostic Trouble Code is current for a sensor, the ECM may assign a default "limp home" value and use that value in its control algorithms. All of the system diagnostic self-tests run continuously during normal vehicle operation.
The Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be read by using either the MIL lamp or a laptop computer. Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be cleared from memory with a laptop computer, or by turning the ignition key to the OFF position and removing the ECM power fuse or battery cable for at least 15 seconds.
If more than one DTC is detected, start the diagnostic repair with the lowest DTC number set. Diagnose each problem to correction unless directed to do otherwise by the diagnostic chart. The DTCs are numbered in order of importance. Both DTC 112 and DTC122 pertain to the oxygen sensor, so it is possible that a repair that corrects DTC 112 may also correct the problem causing the DTC 122.
Diagnostic test charts contained in this manual refer to the DST to be connected and in the “System Data Mode.” This simply means that the DST is connected and communicating with the PC. In some instances the chart will call out a special test mode. An example of this would be instructions for the DST to be connected and in the DBW (drive by wire) mode. Always be sure to follow the special instructions to avoid a false diagnosis of fuel system components.

Lift Truck Operation
Power Shift Transaxle
- Start the engine. See topic "Starting the Engine."

natural_image
Close-up of a car's pedal mechanism with a hand pressing a textured block, no visible text or symbols- Push down on the service brake pedal to hold the lift truck until ready to move it.
- Release the parking brake.
NOTE: The parking brake must be released before the directional control can be used.

natural_image
Close-up of a tractor's wheel and steering wheel with no visible text or symbols- Select the direction of travel by pushing the directional lever FORWARD for forward direction or by pulling the lever BACK for reverse direction.

WARNING
A lift truck with the engine running but without an operator can move slowly (creep) if the transmission is engaged.
This could result in personal injury.
Always place the transmission control lever in the NEUTRAL (centre) position and apply the parking brake before dismounting the lift truck.

natural_image
Close-up of a hand pressing a car pedal on a wet pavement, with a white arrow pointing to the pedal (no text or symbols visible)- Release the service brake.
- Push down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the desired travel speed. Release the pedal to decrease travel speed.

WARNING
Sudden reversal of a loaded lift truck traveling forward can cause the load to fall or the lift truck to tip.
Stop the loaded lift truck completely, before shifting to reverse.
Failure to comply could result in personal injury.
NOTE: Where conditions permit, directional changes can be made under full power at speeds up to 6 km/h (3.73mph). A speed of 6 km/h (3.73mph) is a fast walk. Directional shift changes at speeds above 6 km/h (3.73mph) are considered abusive.
Bring the lift truck to a complete stop where load stability or other factors prevent safe operation under full power shifts.
- To change the lift truck direction of travel, release the accelerator pedal.
- Push down on the service brake pedal to reduce the lift truck speed as necessary.

natural_image
Close-up of a tractor's steering wheel and dashboard (no visible text or symbols)- Move the directional lever to the desired direction of travel. Slowly push down on the accelerator pedal as the lift truck changes direction.
- When the direction change is completed, continue to push down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the desired travel speed.

natural_image
Close-up of a car's dashboard and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)- To stop the lift truck when traveling in either direction, release the accelerator pedal.
- Push down on the service brake pedal and bring the lift truck to a smooth stop.
Inching
NOTE: The purpose of the inching pedal is to provide precise lift truck inching control at very slow travel speed and high engine rpm. This is used for fast hydraulic lift, during load approach, pick up or load positioning.

natural_image
Close-up of a car's brake pedal mechanism with a hand pressing a block (no visible text or symbols)- To inch (creep) in either direction, slowly push down on the inching pedal. This will start to apply the service brakes and allow the transmission clutch discs to slip.
- Vary the position of the inching pedal and the accelerator pedal to control the inching speed and distance.
- Pushing down further on the inching pedal will disengage the transmission completely and apply the service brakes fully to stop and hold the lift truck. This will provide full engine power for fast hydraulic lift.
- Avoid overuse of the inching pedal as this may cause the automatic transmission oil to overheat or the clutch to slip. Do not use as a footrest or for long periods of time.
- If user operates continuously pushing work or both brake pedal and accelerator pedal were depressed at the same time, it may cause the automatic transmission oil to overheat or the clutch to slip.
Steering Knob (If Equipped)
There is a steering knob available for inclusion with new truck deliveries. This option is solely intended for slow travel situations when two handed steering is not possible due to hydraulic operations.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a central hub and concentric rings (no text or symbols)
WARNING
Loss of stability can occur when a lift truck steering wheel is rotated quickly while the truck is in motion. A steering knob will assist with easy rotation of the steering wheel, but if a steering knob is improperly used (e.g., rotating the steering wheel quickly while the truck is in motion), this can contribute to truck instability and a tip over. A steering knob is intended for slow travel maneuverability ONLY.
Mono-Ped Control System (Option)


Forward-Push the left side (2) of the pedal for FORWARD direction travel.

Neutral-The lift truck should not move when the Mono-Ped pedal is released..

Reverse-Push the right side (1) of the pedal for REVERSE direction travel.
The MONO-PED pedal controls the speed and direction of the lift truck. Pushing on the right side of the pedal (1) causes the lift truck to move in REVERSE. The optional reverse lights and optional back-up alarm will be ON in the REVERSE position. Pushing on the left side of the pedal (2) causes the lift truck to move in FORWARD.
The speed of the truck increases as the pedal is depressed
Auto Shift Controller ASC - 206 (Standard)
Product Description
The Autoshift controller is an electrical control system, specially designed for use on forklift trucks with internal combustion engines.
Its primary purpose is to prevent the operator from operating the truck outside of the design parameters, e.g. selecting the reverse gear when traveling in excess of 6.0 km/h (3.73mph) in a forward direction, and vice versa.
The Autoshift controller is mounted on a convenient position away from excessive heat sources and retrofits into the truck's electrical system. An inductive speed sensor is mounted on the transmission case where it will pick up a pulse from a gear tooth pattern. This pulse is used to monitor the truck in motion and its travel speed. To enable the system to change gears smoothly, the shift points for offset speed are adjustable.
An operator no longer has to change gears with his hands, therefore he can be more productive.
The Autoshift controller prevents strain and abuse to the transmission by changing gears up and down automatically. It also prevents damage to the half shaft, excessive tyre wear and heat to the transmission.
Features
1.2 - speed auto shift control
2. Prevent downshifting at high speed
3. Inhibit selecting direction at high speed outside of the design parameters.

Adjustment Switch
Low-High Shift Point (SW1)
ASC-206 allows you to set the 2 speed Auto Gear Shift Point, the maximum travel speed at which the Auto Shift Controller up-shift or down-shift the transmission automatically according to the vehicle speed. For adjustment of 2 speed Auto Gear Shift speed, the SW1 switch is used on the printed circuit board.
For example if SW1 put to 5 _th notch, the 2 Speed Auto Gear Shift speed will be 5.0 km/h(3.11 mph), which is factory setting value as a default.
Direction Inhibit Point (SW2)
Auto Shift allows you to set the Direction Inhibit Speed, the maximum travel speed at which the transmission can be reversed. For adjustment of direction inhibit speed, the SW2 switch is used on the printed circuit board.
For example SW2 is put to 7_rd notch, the Direction Inhibit Speed will be 5.4 km/h (3.36 mph), which is factory setting value as a default.
Diagnostics Features

ASC-206 has internal indicator on the right side of the controller for displaying the selected gear and the abnormal condition.

WARNING
Do not diagnose or repair Auto Shift Controller Faults unless trained and authorised to do so. Improper performance of maintenance procedures is dangerous and could result in personal injury or death.
Below is a description applicable for many ASC-500 implementations.

Operation
This system can be basically operated in two preselected modes, automatic mode and manual mode. Automatic Mode is selected in factory-setting controller as a default.
Manual Mode (Fail-Safe Mode) is selected to operate the truck manually in case of emergency.
Automatic mode
Direction Inhibit
- Start the engine with the direction control lever in NEUTRAL and the parking brake engaged.
- Press down on the service brake pedal, disengage the parking brake and move the direction control lever to FORWARD.
NOTE: Release the parking brake before using the directional control lever.
- Observe the LED on the Auto Shift Controller. The LED should indicate "A" while the direction control lever is in FORWARD, NEUTRAL and REVERSE. Report Auto Shift as faulty if the LED indicates anything other than "A".
- Keep the service brake pushed down until ready to move the truck.
- To change directions of a traveling lift truck when the Auto Shift Controller LED displays "A", shift the direction control lever to the opposite direction and wait for the lift truck to change direction.
- If however, your travel speed is higher than the pre-selected direction change speed as direction inhibit point in the controller, Auto Shift will shift the transmission to NEUTRAL until the lift truck's travel speed slows to the pre-selected direction change speed, and then shift the transmission to the direction selected.
- You should be prepared to help slow the lift truck to the pre-selected direction change speed by pressing down on the service brake pedal.

WARNING
When you want to change the travel direction, you must press down on the service brake pedal to reduce the travel speed. Be cautious that the lift truck's stopping distance may be longer than in manual mode because the lift truck continues to travel forward regardless of the selection of reverse with the direction control lever until the vehicle speed is sufficiently reduced.
- The direction of travel will change automatically when the vehicle speed is reduced as much as the pre-selected speed in the controller.

WARNING
Bring the loaded lift truck to a complete stop before changing travel direction. Changing travel direction while traveling may cause the lift truck to lose the load or tip over.
- When the direction change is completed, continue to push down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the desired travel speed.
NOTICE
The transmission of your lift truck may be reversed under full power up to a travel of 6.0 km/h (3.73 mph). But the Inhibit Speed of Auto Shift is set by the factory at 5.4 km/h (3.36 mph) because reversing the transmission at lower travel speeds prolongs the lift of the transmission, axle shafts and tyres.
Two-Speed Auto Shift Control
While traveling forward with the high speed gear, that is, 2_rd gear selected, the ASC-206 can up-shift or down-shift the transmission automatically according to the vehicle speed by its own speed ratio control so that the appropriate gear may be engaged in every situation.
NOTICE
Two-Speed Auto Shift Control function can be accomplished only when the direction control lever is placed in the high speed ( 2_nd gear) position.
Manual Mode (Fail-Safe mode)
In case that the controller is broken down or you don't want to use the functions of the Auto Shift Controller, you can select Manual Mode. In Manual Mode, you can operate your lift truck in the same manner as any lift truck without Auto Shift Controller. You can select the Manual mode or the Automatic mode by doing following procedures.

WARNING
In the manual mode, direction inhibition function can not be operated normally. The sudden reversal of a loaded lift truck traveling forward can cause the load to fall or the lift truck to tip over.
An operator can operate the truck manually by selecting the Manual mode with the Fail-Safe mode switches on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
With the switch (1) in "MANUAL" position, direction inhibit function is disable.
If an operator moves the switch (2) from "AUTO" position to "MANUAL" position, then 2-speed auto shift function will become disabled.
Move the switches as indicated, up of Automatic (AUTO) operation or down for Manual (MANUAL) operation.
NOTE: In the factory-setting controller, AUTO mode is selected as a default on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown below.

NOTE: After operating the truck manually by selecting the Manual Mode switch on PCB(Printed Circuit Board), the position of mode must be checked before operating the truck automatically.

Lifting a Forklift using a Crane

WARNING
- If lifting rope breaks, serious injury/damage may occur.
- The lifting wire rope and stay must be long enough to avoid contact with the forklift. Short rope/stay can damage the vehicle. If it's too long, it may cause interference.
If sling and LP tank contact happens during refloatation operation, you should get rid of tank of vehicle with LP tank first, and then proceed.
Cover the rope/chain with rubber or cloth to prevent damage to the vehicle, as necessary.
- Rope/chain and other lifting tools must have sufficient strength, and free of any defect or wear.
-
Avoid impact load to the lifting devices/tools.
-
Check the weight, length, width and height of the vehicle before lifting.
- Park the crane at an appropriate position.
- Connect the rope/chain to the points A and B of the figure below.
- If the wire rope/chain contacts the vehicle, insert a rubber plate between the rope/chain and the vehicle to protect the vehicle.

- Lift up the vehicle slowly.
How to Fix Forklift to a Carrier
- The rope/chain must have sufficient length for fixing.
- Park the vehicle on a level ground.
- Set the mast vertically. Lower the fork or attachment to the lowest position.
- Set all the operating devices to Neutral Position. Turn OFF the start switch.
- Apply the parking brake. Stop the tyres with blocks (C).
- Connect towing hooks to the mast top B (if without mast, front drive axle fix frame or front fender bottom fixing hole D) and rear tow pin A, as shown in the figure below.


Towing Information

WARNING
Personal injury or death could result when towing a disabled lift truck incorrectly.
Block the lift truck wheels to prevent movement before releasing the brakes. The lift truck can roll free if it is not blocked.
Follow the recommendations below, to properly perform the towing procedure.
These towing instructions are for moving a disabled lift truck a short distance, at low speed, no faster than 2 km/h (1.2 mph), to a convenient location for repair. These instructions are for emergencies only. Always haul the lift truck if long distance moving is required.
Shield must be provided on the towing lift truck to protect the operator if the tow line or bar should break.
Do not allow riders on the lift truck being towed unless the operator can control the steering and/or braking.
Before towing, make sure the tow line or bar is in good condition and has enough strength for the towing situation involved. Use a towing line or bar with a strength of at least 1.5 times the gross weight of the towing lift truck for a disabled lift truck stuck in the mud or when towing on a grade.
Keep the tow line angle to a minimum. Do not exceed a 30°angle from the straight ahead position. Connect the tow line as low as possible on the lift truck that is being towed.
Quick lift truck movement could overload the tow line or bar and cause it to break. Gradual and smooth lift truck movement will work better.
Normally, the towing lift truck should be as large as the disabled lift truck. Satisfy yourself that the towing lift truck has enough brake capacity, weight and power, to control both lift trucks for the grade and the distance involved.
To provide sufficient control and braking when moving a disabled lift truck downhill, a larger towing lift truck or additional lift trucks connected to the rear could be required. This will prevent uncontrolled rolling.
The different situation requirements cannot be given as minimal towing lift truck capacity is required on smooth level surfaces to maximum on inclines or poor surface conditions.
Consult your CROWN Lift Tuck dealer for towing a disabled lift truck.

Inspection, Maintenance and Repair of Lift Truck Forks
The following section gives practical guidelines for inspection, maintenance and repair of lift truck forks. It also provides general information on the design and application of forks and the common cause of fork failures.
Lift truck forks can be dangerously weakened by improper repair or modification. They can also be damaged by the cumulative effects of age, abrasion, corrosion, overloading and misuse.
A fork failure during use can cause damage to the equipment and the load. A fork failure can also cause serious injury.
A good fork inspection and maintenance program along with the proper application can be very effective in preventing sudden failures on the job.
Repairs and modifications should be done only by the fork manufacturer or a qualified technician who knows the material used and the required welding and heat treatment process.
Users should evaluate the economics of returning the forks to the manufacturer for repairs or purchasing new forks. This will vary depending on many factors including the size and type of fork.
Forks should be properly sized to the weight and length of the loads, and to the size of the machine on which they are used. The general practice is to use a fork size such that the combined rated capacity of the number of forks used is equal to or greater than the "Standard(or rated) Capacity" of the lift truck.
The individual load rating, in most cases, will be stamped on the fork in a readily visible area. This is generally on the top or side of the fork shank.
- A fork rated at 1500 pounds at 24 inch load centre will be stamped 1500X24.
- A fork rated at 2000 kg at 600 mm load centre will be stamped 2000X600.
The manufacturer identification and year and date of manufacture is also usually shown.
Some countries have standards or regulations which apply specifically to the inspection and repair of forks.
Users may also refer to the International Organization For Standardization - ISO Technical Report 5057 - Inspection and Repair of Fork Arms and ISO Standard 2330 - Fork Arms-Technical Characteristics and Testing.
Users should be familiar with the requirements for inspection and maintenance of lift trucks as provided by Australian Standard AS2359.
Environment Protection
When servicing this lift truck, use an authorised servicing area and an approved container to collect coolant, oil, fuel, grease, electrolyte and any other potential environmental pollutant before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed. After servicing, dispose of those materials in an authorised place and container. When cleaning the lift truck, be sure to use an authorised area.
Causes of Fork Failure
Improper Modification or Repair
Fork failure can occur as a result of a field modification involving welding, flame cutting or other similar processes which affect the heat treatment and reduces the strength of the fork.
In most cases, specific processes and techniques are also required to achieve proper welding of the particular alloy steels involved. Critical areas most likely to be affected by improper processing are the heel section, the mounting components and the fork tip.
Bent or Twisted Forks
Forks can be bent out of shape by extreme overloading, glancing blows against walls or other solid objects or using the fork tip as a pry bar.
Bent or twisted forks are much more likely to break and cause damage or injury. They should be removed from service immediately.
Fatigue
Parts which are subjected to repeated or fluctuating loads can fail after a large number of loading cycles even though the maximum stress was below the static strength of the part.
The first sign of a fatigue failure is usually a crack which starts in an area of high stress concentration. This is usually in the heel section or on the fork mounting.
As the crack progresses under repetitive load cycling, the load bearing cross section of the remaining metal is decreased in size until it becomes insufficient to support the load and complete failure occurs.
Fatigue failure is the most common mode of fork failure. It is also one which can be anticipated and prevented by recognizing the conditions which lead up to the failure and by removing the fork service prior to failing.
• Repetitive Overloading
Repetitive cycling of loads which exceeds the fatigue strength of the material can lead to fatigue failure. The overload could be caused by loads in excess of the rated fork capacity and by use of the forks tips as pry bars. Also, by handling loads in a manner which causes the fork tips to spread and the forks to twist laterally about their mountings.
- Wear
Forks are constantly subjected to abrasion as they slide on floors and loads. The thickness of the fork blade is gradually reduced to the point where it may not be capable of handling the load for which it was designed.
- Stress Risers
Scratches, nicks and corrosion are points of high stress concentration where cracks can develop. These cracks can progress under repetitive loading in a typical mode of fatigue failure.
Overloading
Extreme overloading can cause permanent bending or immediate failure of the forks. Using forks of less capacity than the load or lift truck when lifting loads and using forks in a manner for which they were not designed are some common causes of overloading.
Fork Inspection

natural_image
Line drawing of a worker in a hard hat looking through a window with chains hanging on the wall (no text or symbols)Establish a daily and 12 month inspection routine by keeping a record for the forks on each lift truck.
Initial information should include the machine serial number on each the forks are used, the fork manufacturer, type, original section size, original length and capacity. Also list any special characteristics specified in the fork design.
Record the date and results of each inspection, making sure the following information is included.
- Actual wear conditions, such as percent of original blade thickness remaining.
- Any damage, failure or deformation which might impair the use of the truck.
- Note any repairs or maintenance.
An ongoing record of this information will help in identifying proper inspection intervals for each operation, in identifying and solving problem areas and in anticipating time for replacement of the forks.
First Installation
- Inspect forks to ensure they are the correct size for the truck on which they will be used. Make sure they are the correct length and type for the loads to be handled.
If the forks have been previously used, perform the "12 Month Inspection".
If the forks are rusted, see "Maintenance and Repair".
- Make sure fork blades are level to each other within acceptable tolerances. See "Forks, Step 4," in the "2000 Service Hours or Yearly" in "Maintenance Intervals"
- Make sure positioning lock is in place and working Lock forks in position before using truck. See "Forks, Step 7" in the "2000 Service Hours or Yearly" in "Maintenance Intervals".
Daily Inspection
- Visually inspect forks for cracks, especially in the heel section, around the mounting brackets, and all weld areas. Inspect for broken or jagged fork tips, bent or twisted blades and shanks.
- Make sure positioning lock is in place and working. Lock the forks in position before using the truck. See "2000 Service Hours or Yearly" in "Maintenance Intervals".
- Remove all defective forks from service.
12 Months Inspection
Forks should be inspected, at a minimum, every 12 months. If the truck is being used in a multi-shift or heavy duty operation, they should be checked every six months. See "Forks" in the "2000 Service Hours or Yearly" in "Maintenance Intervals."
Maintenance and Repair
- Repair forks only in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Most repairs or modifications should be done only by the original manufacturer of the forks or an expert knowledgeable of the materials, design, welding and heat treatment process.
-
The following repairs or modifications SHOULD NOT be attempted.
-
Flame cutting holes or cutouts in fork blades.
- Welding on brackets or new mounting hangers.
- Repairing cracks or other damage by welding.
-
Bending or resetting.
-
The following repairs MAY be performed.
-
Forks may be sanded or lightly ground, to remove rust, corrosion or minor defects from the surfaces.
- Heel sections may be ground with a carbon stone to remove minor surface cracks or defects. Polish the inside radius of the heel section to increase the
fatigue life of the fork. Always grind or polish in the direction of the blade and shank length.
- Repair or replace the positioning locks on hook type forks.
-
Repair or replace most fork retention devices used with other fork types.
-
A fork should be load tested before being returned to service on completion of repairs authorised and done in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Most manufacturers and standards require the repaired fork to be tested with a load 2.5 times the specified capacity and at the load centre marked on the fork arm.
With the fork restrained in the same manner as its mounting on the lift truck, apply the test load twice, gradually and without shock. Maintain the test for 30 seconds each time.
Check the fork arm before and after the second application of the test load. It shall not show any permanent deformation.
Consult the fork manufacturer for further information as may be applicable to the specific fork involved.
Testing is not required for repairs to the positioning lock or the markings.

Torque for Metric Fasteners
NOTICE
Be very careful never to mix metric with U.S. customary (standard) fasteners. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners will cause lift truck damage or malfunction and may even result in personal injury.
Original fasteners removed from the lift truck should be checked for any damages and kept for reassembly whenever possible. If new fasteners are needed, they must be of the same size and grade as the ones that are being replaced.
The material strength identification is usually shown on the bolt head by numbers (8.8, 10.9, etc.). This chart gives standard torques for bolts and nuts with Grade 8.8.
For mounting torques of main parts, Please refer to Service manual for detail.

Cooling System Specifications
Coolant Information
NOTE: The following information is generic and valid for lift trucks.
Engine operating temperatures have increased to improve engine efficiency. This means proper cooling system maintenance is especially important. Overheating, overcooling, pitting, cavitation erosion, cracked heads, piston seizures, and plugged radiators are classic cooling system failures. In fact, coolant is as important as the quality of fuel and lubricating oil.
NOTICE
CROWN recommends that the coolant mixture contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, and 50% water.
The coolant mix with concentration of antifreeze smaller than 30% does not provide sufficient corrosion protection. Concentrations over 60% adversely affect freeze protection and heat transfer rates.
Never add coolant to an overheated engine, engine damage can result. Allow the engine to cool first.
If the machine is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with freezing temperatures, the cooling system must be protected to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature.
The engine cooling system is normally protected to -28°C(-20°F) with antifreeze, when shipped from the factory unless special requirements are defined.
Check the specific gravity of the coolant solution frequently in cold weather to ensure adequate protection.
Clean the cooling system if it is contaminated, the engine overheats or foaming is observed in the radiator.
Old coolant should be drained, the system cleaned and new coolant added every 2000 service hours or yearly.
Refer to topic, "Cooling System - Clean, Change" in Every 2000 Service Hours or Yearly section.
Filling at over 20 liters (5 U.S. gallons) per minute can cause air pockets in the cooling system.
After draining and refilling the cooling system, operate the engine with the radiator cap removed until the coolant reaches normal operating temperature and the coolant level stabilises. Add coolant as necessary to fill the system to the proper level.
Never operate without a thermostat in the cooling system. Cooling system problems can arise without a thermostat.
Coolant Water
Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions, encourages the formation of insoluble chemical compounds by combining with cooling system additives such as silicates and phosphates.
The tendency of silicates and phosphates to precipitate out-of-solution increases with increasing water hardness. Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions encourages the formation of insoluble chemicals, especially after a number of heating and cooling cycles.
CROWN prefers the use of distilled water or deionized water to reduce the potential and severity of chemical insolubility.
| Acceptable Water | |
| Water Content Limits (PPM) | |
| Chlorides (Cl) 50 maxiunum | |
| Sulfates ( SO_4 ) | 50 maxi |
| Total hardness 80mg/l | |
| Total solids 250 maxiunum | |
| PH | 6.0 |
ppm = parts per million
Using water that meets the minimum acceptable water requirement may not prevent drop-out of these chemical compounds totally, but should minimise the rate to acceptable levels.
Antifreeze
NOTICE
CROWN recommends using automotive antifreeze suitable for gasoline engines having aluminum alloy parts. Antifreeze of poor quality will cause corrosion of the cooling system, and thus always use automotive antifreeze prepared by a reliable maker, and never use it mixed with antifreeze of different brand.
CROWN recommends that the coolant mix contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, or equivalent and acceptable water to maintain and adequate water pump cavitation temperature for efficient water pump performance.
Premix coolant solution to provide protection to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature. Pure undiluted antifreeze will freeze at -23^ (-10°F).
mum Use a greater concentration (above 50%) of commercially available automotive antifreeze only as needed for anticipated outside (ambient) temperatures. Do not exceed the recommendations, provided with the commercially available automotive antifreezes, regarding the coolant mixture of antifreeze to water.
Make proper antifreeze additions.
Adding pure antifreeze as a makeup solution for cooling system top-up is an unacceptable practice. It increases the concentration of antifreeze in the cooling system which increase the concentration of dissolved solids and undissolved chemical inhibitors in the cooling system. Add antifreeze mixed with water to the same freeze protection as your cooling system.
Use the chart below to assist in determining the concentration of antifreeze to use.
| Antifreeze Concentrations | |
| Protection Temperature | Concentration |
| Protection to -15°C (5°F) | 30% antifreeze and 70% water |
| Protection to -23°C (-10°F) | 40% antifreeze and 60% water |
| Protection to -37°C (-34°F) | 50% antifreeze and 50% water |
| Protection to -51°C (-60°F) | 60% antifreeze and 40% water |
Fuel Specifications
General Fuel Information
Use only fuel as recommended in this section.
NOTICE
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent condensation. Maintain a constant level near the top of the day tank to avoid drawing moisture into the tank as the level decreases. Do not fill the tank to the top. Fuel expands as it gets warm and can overflow.
Do not fill the fuel filters with fuel before installing them. Contaminated fuel will cause accelerated wear to the fuel system parts.
Drain the water and sediment from main fuel storage tank before it is refilled. This will help prevent water and/or sediment from being pumped from the fuel storage tank into the engine fuel tank.
LP Specifications
LP is “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The exact composition of LP varies slightly between different parts of the country and different refineries.
HD5 is recommended for CROWN forklift trucks. Remember LP is heavier than air and will sink to the lowest spot possible. Avoid areas near floor drains or lubrication pits where escaped fuel may collect.
| Composition of HD5 | |
| Propane ( C_3H_8 ) | 90.0 |
| Propylene up to 5 % | |
| Butane ( C_4H_10 ) | 2.0 % |
| iso-Butane | 1.5 |

Lubricant Specifications
Lubricant Information
Certain abbreviations follow Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J754 nomenclature and some classifications follow SAE J183 abbreviations.
The MIL specifications are U.S.A. Military Specifications.
The recommended oil viscosities can be found in the Lubricant Viscosities chart in this publication.
Grease is classified by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) based on ASTM D217-68 Worked Penetration characteristics which are given a defined consistency number.
Engine Oil (DEO and EO)
The following oil specifications provide guidelines for the selection of commercial products :
• Gasoline/LP Engine : API SJ or higher
NOTE: Engine Oil Service hours can be extended to 500 hours by using CROWN supplied specific oil. Please consult CROWN dealer about it.
NOTICE
Failure to follow the oil recommendations can cause shortened engine lift due to carbon deposits or excessive wear.
Consult the EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book for a listing of oil brands.
NOTE: The percentage of sulphur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. For fuel sulphur effects, the Infrared Analysis or the ASTM D2896 procedure can be used to evaluate the residual neutralization properties of an engine oil. The sulphur products formation depends on the fuel sulphur content, oil formulation, crankcase blowby, engine operating conditions and ambient temperature.
Hydraulic Oil (HYDO)
The following commercial classifications can be used in the hydraulic system.
• ISO 6743/4 HM
• AFNOR NFE 48-603 HM
• DIN 51524 TEIL 2 H-LP
• HAGGLUNDS DENISON HFO-HF2
• CINCINNATI P68,69,70
Viscosity : ISO VG 32
Industrial premium hydraulic oils that have passed the Vickers vane pump test (35VQ25). These oils should have antiwear, antifoam, antirust and antioxidation additives for heavy duty use as stated by the oil supplier. ISO viscosity grade of 32 would normally be selected.
NOTICE
Make-up oil added to the hydraulic tanks must mix with the oil already in the systems. Use only petroleum products unless the systems are equipped for use with special products. If the hydraulic oil becomes cloudy, water or air is entering the system. Water or air in the system will cause pump failure. Drain the fluid, retighten all hydraulic suction line clamps, purge and refill the system. Consult your CROWN Lift Truck dealer for purging instructions.
Transmission Oil (TDTO)
NOTICE
This oil is formulated for transmissions and drive trains only, and should not be used in engines. Shortened engine life will result.
NOTE: Multi-grade oils are not blended by CROWN for use in transmissions. Multi-grade oils which use high molecular weight polymers as viscosity index improvers lose their viscosity effectiveness by permanent and temporary shear of the viscosity index improver and therefore, are not recommended for transmission and drive train compartments.
NOTE: Failure to follow this recommendation can cause shortened transmission life due to material incompatibility, inadequate frictional requirements for disk materials and/or excessive gear wear.
Select the oil that meets the following specification.
• GM DEXRON III
• FORD MERCON V
Drive Axle Oil
NOTE: Failure to follow the recommendation will cause shortened life due to excessive gear wear.
Oil Cooled Disc Brake (OCDB)

-
Close radiator drain valve and install block drain plug. Fill the cooling system with 1 kg (2 lb) sodium bisulphate per 40 liters (10 gallons) of water. Most commercial cooling system cleaners can be used.
- Start and run the engine for 30 minutes.
- Stop the engine and drain the cleaning solution.
- Flush the system with clean water, until draining water is clear.
- Close the drain valve and install the block drain plug. Fill the system with neutralizing solution, 250g (1/2 lb) sodium carbonate per 40 liters (10 gallons) of water.
- Start and run the engine for 10 minutes.
- Stop the engine and drain the neutralizing solution.
- Flush the system with clean water until draining water is clear.
- Close the drain valve and install the block drain plug. Add coolant to the top of the filter neck.
- Start and run the engine to stabilise the coolant level. See "Every 10 Service hours or Daily", "Coolant Level-Check", in this manual.
Fork – Inspect

Forks should be inspected, at a minimum, every 12 months. If the truck is being used in a multi-shift or heavy duty operation, they should be checked every six months.
- Inspect the forks carefully for cracks. Special attention should be given to the heel section (A), all weld areas and mounting brackets (B). Inspect the top and bottom hooks on forks used on hook type carriages and tubes on shaft mounted forks.
Forks with cracks should be removed from service. "Wet Test" magnetic particle inspection is generally preferred due to its sensitivity and the ease of interpreting the results. Portable equipment is usually recommended so it can be moved to the lift truck.
Inspectors should be trained and qualified in accordance with The American Society for Non Destructive Testing, Level II Qualifications.

natural_image
Pure technical line drawing of a mechanical part with no text or symbols- Check the angle between the upper face of the blade and the front face of the shank. The fork should be withdrawn from service if angle (C) exceeds 93 degrees or deviates by more than 3 degrees from an original angle other than 90 degrees, as may be found in some special application forks.

style D fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
style E fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
- Check the straightness of the upper face of blade (D) and the front face of shank (E) with a straight edge.
The fork should be withdrawn from service if the deviation from straightness exceeds 0.5 percent of the length of the blade and/or the height of the shank respectively 5 mm/1000 mm (0.18"/36").

- Check the difference in height of one fork tip to the other when mounted on the fork carrier. A difference in fork tip height can result in uneven support of the load and cause problems with entering loads.
The maximum recommended difference in fork tip elevation (F) is 6.5 mm (0.25") for pallet forks and 3 mm (0.125") for fully tapered forks. The maximum allowable difference in fork tip elevation between the two or more forks is 3 percent of blade length (L).
Replace one or both forks when the difference in fork tip height exceeds the maximum allowable difference. Contact your local CROWN Lift Truck Dealer for further information.

- Check the fork blade (J) and shank (H) for wear with special attention to the heel (G). The fork should be withdrawn from service if the thickness is reduced to 90 percent or less of the original thickness.
Fork blade length may also be reduced by wear, especially on tapered forks and platens. Remove the forks from service when the blade length is no longer adequate for the intended loads.

-
Check the fork mountings (K) for wear, crushing and other local deformation, which can cause excessive side to side wobble of the forks. Excessive clearance on hook type forks may allow them to fall from the carrier. Forks which show visible signs of such damage should be removed from service.
-
Check the positioning lock and other fork retention devices to make sure they are in place and working.
Hook type forks use a spring loaded pin (M), located in the top hook, to engage notches in the top carriage bar to hold the fork in place.
When adjusting the fork spacing, the forks are prevented from sliding off the end of the carriage by stop blocks. These stop blocks are at both ends of the carriage and in the path of the bottom fork hook. The load backrest extension may be used in place of the stop blocks in some cases.
Shaft mounted forks may use set collars or spacers on the shaft to either side of the fork. They may also use U bolts, pins, or similar devices which engage the fork through the top structure of the carriage.

natural_image

Check fork markings (N) for legibility. Renew markings as required to retain legibility.
-
a. Lift the mast and operate the tilt control lever, until the top surface of the forks is parallel with the floor. Place two straight bars that are the same width as the carriage, across the forks as shown.
b. Measure the distance from the bottom of each end of the two bars to the floor. The forks must be parallel within 3 mm (.12 in) for Full Tapered and Polished (FTP) forks, all other forks 6.4 mm (.25 in), for their complete length.
c. Put one fork, one third from the tip, under a fixture that will not move. Then operate the tilt control with caution until the rear of the truck lifts just off the floor. Follow the same procedure with the second fork. Repeat Step a.
