3.2 Mechanical Transmission Case
The mechanical transmission case is composed of one driving shaft, one output shaft, one main shaft, and one
idler shaft (used for reversing gear shift), and one or several gears of different number of teeth are available on
each shaft. These gears are used for gear shift by making use of gear-shift handle, through two groups of
synchromesh gears in the type of engagement sleeve mounted on the main shaft, for the output shaft to transmit
the power of engine onto the drive wheel through low-speed gear and speed differential as well as half shaft. The
mechanical transmission case is in common use for 1-1.8t and 2-4t, but the structures are the same, as introduced
below:
3.2.1 Driving Shaft and Slide Screw
The driving shaft is inserted into the inside ball bearing of flywheel on one end of clutch, and mounted with input
gear on the other end of spline (normally engaged with duplicate gear on the output shaft) fixed inside the ball
bearing on the transmission case, with middle part mounted on the bearing bracket through ball bearing and snap
ring. The bearing bracket is mounted on the transmission case by virtue of slide screw, and the driving shaft and
the bearing bracket are able to move together in axial direction through rotating the T-shaped screw thread of slide
screw, when it is required to replace the brake shoe assembly of clutch, for the driving shaft to retreat into the
transmission case.
3.2.2 Output Shaft
The duplicate gear is mounted on the output shaft through two needle roller bearings and spacer sleeves, with the
other end of output shaft mounted with the output gear using spline through spacer sleeve. Tapered roller bearings
are mounted on the both ends of output shaft, to adjust the bearing-side clearance using gasket on the rear end.
The bull gear in the duplicate gear is engaged with input gear and high-speed gear, while the pinion is engaged
with low-speed gear, while the output gear is normally engaged with forward gear and reversing idler gear.
3.2.3 Main Shaft
High-speed gear, low-speed gear, reversing gear, and forward gear are all mounted on the main shaft through
needle roller bearings, and as they normally maintain engagement with duplicate gear, reversing idler gear, and
input gear, gear shift or reversing may be performed just through operating the synchromesh gear on the main
shaft.
3.2.4 Idler Shaft
The idler gear shaft is fixed on the transmission case, positioned using steel ball on the rear end. The idler gear is
mounted on the idler gear shaft using needle roller bearing, and this idler gear is respectively engaged with
reversing gear and output gear.
3.2.5 Rotary Rod and Gear-Shift Poking Fork (Refer to Fig 3-2 and Fig 3-1.)
Tow two rotary rods are respectively used for shift of speed gear and direction gear. The poking fork is
supported on gear-shift lever, locked inside the slot of gear-shift lever, for the convenience to fix gear-shift
position.
3.2.6 Synchromesh Gear (Refer to Fig 3-3.) Gear Shift
Poking Fork
Synchromesh gear is composed of synchronous taper, synchronous ring, and
insert.
a) Synchronous Taper: Gear 11 or 13 carries a shaft taper face (synchronous
taper) and involute spline, to be respectively combined with the synchronous
ring (Part 2) and the engagement sleeve (Part 5) through the friction face and
spline gear of this taper face.
b) Synchronous Ring: The synchronous ring has a hole taper face, mutually Synchronous
Taper
matched with the synchronous taper through the friction face of this taper face. Synchronous
The synchronous ring has three grooves uniformly distributed along the Ring
circumference, and these three grooves are correspondingly aligned with the Engagement
positions of spline for engagement sleeve and the spline for synchronous ring, to Sleeve
facilitate bear down on the synchronous ring through the spline of engagement
sleeve.

c) Insert: The bulge in the middle of three inserts are fitted into the spline slot of Engagement Sleeve 5, the parts
of its both ends are respectively embedded into the three grooves corresponding to synchronous ring, and the
inserts bear down on the top part of Spline Slot through two Springs 8. This outward spring force facilitates the
spline gear of synchronous ring to be frequently at the aligned position.
Operate the synchromesh gear, and it can be divided into undermentioned 6 steps from neutral position to
completion of engagement, described in Figs 3-4~3-10.
Fig 3-4
35
Step 2 (Refer to Fig 3-5)
After the clearance between X and X is removed, the acting force is
added onto the brake shoe of the insert7, synchronous ring 2 and the
synchronous taper 4. This force overcomes the action of spring force
for the insert to tilt to an angle, to form an angle contact as indicated in
the figure, and the engagement sleeve moves for a Z distance under the
action of this force.
Fig 3-5
Fig 3-6
Fig 3-7
36
Step 5: (Refer to Fig 3-8)
When the relative speed difference of the synchronized normally
engaged gear 11 and the engagement sleeve 5 is 0, the inertial torque
Ti=0, namely the friction torque overcomes the inertial torque, for the
speeds of gear 11 and the main shaft to be the same, to complete
synchronization. At this time, for the continuous action of axial force,
the synchronous ring turns an angle in circumferential direction, for
the gear of engagement sleeve to be located between 3, and at the
same time under the external force, the synchronous ring has changed
into floating status for the engagement sleeve to be able to pass
between the synchronous rings.
Fig 3-8
After passing through the synchronous ring, the engagement sleeve has moved a Y distance as indicated in Fig 3-7,
for the chamber part of the spline 6 of engagement sleeve to begin getting into contact with the chamber part of
spline gear 3 of gear 11 (Refer to Fig 3-9.). The contact of this chamfer adds a torque T on gear 3 through spline of
engagement sleeve, for the gear 11 to turn an angle along the circumferential direction relative to engagement
sleeve, this to have the spline of engagement sleeve pass between the spline gear 3, and the whole synchronization
process is then completed. The power is transmitted through the clutch driven disc hub on main shaft, the
engagement sleeve and the gear 11 (namely the speed or direction gear), thus to achieve the gear-shift process.

(3)The one-way overrunning clutch mounted in torque converter has changed the power transmission efficiency.
(4)Relatively satisfactory filter is available in the oil circuit of torque converter, which has enhanced the service
life of the torque converter.
4.2 Torque Converter
Torque converter is mainly composed of three elements including pump impeller, turbine, and guide pulley.
Pump impeller is driven by input shaft. The liquid is vigorously sprayed onto the blades of turbine along the the
pump impeller blades under the action of centrifugal force (at this point the mechanical energy is transformed into
kinetic energy.), for torque to be transmitted to output shaft. The liquid leaving from the turbine changes the
direction under the effect of guide pulley, thus for a part of liquid to flow back to the pump impeller at certain
angle, to generate a reactive torque to push the guide pulley at this point, so as to allow the output torque to have a
value larger by one reactive torque compared with input torque. Finally, the liquid flows into the blades of guide
pulley in a reverse direction, for the original reactive torque to act reversely. On this account, the torque of output
shaft is smaller than that of the input shaft. To prevent such situation, the overrunning clutch mounted inside the
guide pulley allows the guide pulley to be able for free rotation, when reactive torque acts reversely.
This kind of torque conversion method is able to ensure a high-efficient and steady operation.
The part of the torque converter for the transmission device is connected with the flywheel of engine through
elastic plate, and turns along with the rotation of engine, with oil for torque converter to be filled up inside the
torque converter. The driving gear is connected with pump impeller using two claws, to actuate oil feed pump, to
feed the oil to the torque converted and the hydraulic shifting transmission case. The turbine is connected onto the
turbine shaft using spline, and the power is transmitted to power gear-shift transmission case through turbine
shaft.

4.3 Hydraulic Clutch (Fig 4-3)
Wet multi-disk hydraulic clutch is mounted on the input shift of hydraulic transmission case, to distribute pressure
oil to forward or backward clutch through control valve, to achieve forward and backward gear shift. All the gears
in transmission case are normally engaged gears. Each clutch is composed of alternately assembled four spacers
(Part 24) and four brake shoes (Part 25) as well as one piston. Both internal circle and external circle are fitted
with seal rings, to ensure the sealing performance during work of piston. The piston does not act at neutral gear,
and the spacer and the brake shoe are under the separate status. During gear shifting operation, oil pressure acts on
the piston, the spacer and the brake shoe are mutually compacted, for form an adapter depending on friction force,
so as to transmit the power from torque converted to the driving gear (forward gear 4 or reversing gear 13).

4.4 Control Valve, Safety Valve, and Inching Valve
4.4.1 Control valve is mounted on the inner side of transmission case cover, and the control valve includes three
parts such as control spool valve, constant pressure valve, and adjusting valve. (Fig 4-4)
4.4.2 Constant Pressure Valve: It is used to control the oil pressure of hydraulic clutch between 1.1-1.4MPa, and
send the oil content through it to overflow valve to be transmitted to torque converter.
4.4.3 Adjuster: It is located between inching valve and control spool valve. When control spool valve is fully open,
this valve will work, to reduce the impact of clutch during engagement.
4.4.4 Overflow Valve: The overflow valve connected together with transmission case allows the oil pressure of
torque converter to maintain between 0.5-0.7MPa.
4.4.5 Inching Valve: Inching valve is installed on the outer side of transmission case. The winding shaft of valve is
connected onto the link for inching pedal. This winding shaft will move rightwards, when inching pedal is pushed
down, which has reduced the oil pressure of hydraulic clutch for a short time, for the forklift truck to achieve the
inching effect (Fig 4-5).

4.7 Hydraulic Oil Circuit (Hydraulic Transmission) Fig 4-7
After engine is started, the oil feed pump sucks out oil from the oil tank (namely the bottom of transmission case)
through oil filler that flows through control valve, and the pressure oil is divided into two parts in valve, one part
to be fed and used by hydraulic clutch, and the other part to be fed to torque converter.
The oil necessary for operation of hydraulic clutch flows into the constant pressure valve (the pressure of this
valve to be adjusted to 1.1-1.4MPa). The oil from the constant pressure valve further flows to inching valve and
control spool valve on one hand, and is fed into the impeller of torque converter on another (pressure to be
adjusted to 0.5-0.5MPa). The oil from torque converter is cooled down through oil heat radiator, then lubricates
the hydraulic clutch, and returns to oil tank afterwards.
At the time of neutral gear, the oil circuit from control spool valve to clutch is closed. At this point, the constant
pressure valve is turned on, for all the oil to pass the overflow valve transmitted to torque converter. When control
spool valve is at forward or backward position, the oil circuit from spool valve to forward or backward clutch is
connected for respective clutches to take separate actions. When one clutch is taking action, the spacer and the
brake shoe of another clutch are under separate status, and lubricated by cooling oil and with heat taken away.
When inching pedal operates inching valve, one part or most of oil into clutch is drained to oil tank through
inching valve lever, and at this point the circulation for the oil circuit of torque converter is the same as it is at the
neutral gear.

It mainly includes cycloid fully hydraulic gear, (Refer to Fig 6-2), steering column, and steering wheel. The
steering column and the steering wheel are able for forward and backward rotation by 4.5º, to adapt to driver’s
different needs.
Fully hydraulic steering gear is able to transmit the pressure oil from bypass valve to steering cylinder through
pipeline according to the size measurement for the rotation of steering wheel. When engine is turned off, oil pump
cannot feed oil, and then steering may be achieved manually.
(2)Steering Cylinder (Fig 6-3)
Steering cylinder is in dual-action through type. The two ends of piston rod are connected with steering knuckle
through link. Pressure oil from fully hydraulic steering gear enables the piston rod to move leftward or rightward
through steering cylinder, thus to achieve leftward or rightward steering.

8. Brake System
8.1 Overview
Brake system is in a front double-wheel brake type, and it is composed of brake master cylinder, brake, and brake
pedal mechanism.
8.2 Brake master cylinder includes one valve seat, one one-way valve, and one return spring, as well as rubber cup,
piston, and auxiliary rubber cup. The end part is fixed using thrust washer and stop steel wire, while and external
part is protected through rubber dust cap. The master cylinder piston acts through push rod through operating
brake pedal. When brake pedal is pushed down, the push rod pushes forward the piston, and the brake fluid in the
cylinder body flows back to oil tank through return oil port, until the main rubber cup blocks the return oil hole.
After main rubber cup has pushed the return oil port, the brake fluid in front cavity of master cylinder is
compressed and opens the one-way valve, thus to flow to the wheel cylinder through bypass pipeline. In this way,
the pistons of respective wheel cylinders extend outwards, for the friction plate of brake shoe and the brake drum
to get into contact with each other, to achieve the effect of deceleration or brake. At this point, the rear cavity of
piston is supplemented with the brake fluid from return oil port and oil inlet port. When brake pedal is loosened,
the piston is pressed by return spring, and at the same time the brake fluid in respective brake cylinders are
likewise compressed by return spring of brake shoe, for brake fluid to return to the master cylinder (the front
cavity of piston) through one-way valve. The piston will return to original place, the brake fluid in master cylinder
will flow back to oil tank through return oil port, and the pressure of one-way valve is adjusted to certain
proportion to the remaining pressure in brake cylinders, so that the rubber cup of wheel cylinder is correctly
placed to prevent oil leak, and to eliminate the effect of choke that may possibly arise during emergency brake.

The brake action in forward movement is as follows (as
indicated in Fig 8-5). Through operating brake wheel cylinder, Support Pin
the primary brake shoe and the secondary brake shoe are
effected by two forces of equal size but reverse directions,
respectively, for brake shoe and brake drum to get into contact Working Force
with each other, while the primary brake shoe is pressed onto
Shoe
Secondary
Primary
the adjuster with support of friction force between brake shoe
Shoe
and brake drum, thereby for clearance adjuster to generate a
larger force used to operate the wheel cylinder to push the
secondary brake shoe, and to force the upper end of secondary
brake shoe to bear down on the support pin, thus to get a
relatively large brake force. In another connection, the Adjuster
reversing brake action is performed in reverse direction, but
the brake force is the same as that during forward movement.

8.4 Automatic Clearance Regulator (with 2t brake mainly described, and the action principle of 1-4t brakes is the
same as that of 2t)
The automatic clearance adjuster is able to automatically maintain the clearance between brake shoe and brake
drum between 0.4-0.45mm (0.25-0.4mm for 3, 3.5, and 4t brakes and 0.35-0.55mm for 1-1.8t brakes). However
this adjuster only acts during reversing brake. During reverse movement, the brake shoe will disengage once the
brake pedal is pushed down, thereby, the secondary and the primarily brake shoes will begin to get into contact
with brake drum for rotation together, until the upper end of primarily brake shoe begins to get into contact with
support pin.
Meanwhile when secondary brake shoe is released from the support ping, the A part of adjusting lever (Refer to
Fig 8-3.) is relatively in tension, thus for adjusting lever to rotate around the B part, for C part to lower, and the D
part of adjuster to rotate leftward, so as to achieve the objective of automatic adjustment. When brake pedal is
further pushed down, the pressure applied to both ends of adjust is larger, which has increased the resistance to
thread rotation, for the force of adjusting lever to be unable to actuate rotation of part B.
8.5 Parking Brake
Parking brake is in mechanical, internal expansion type and built-in on wheel brake, and it shares the brake shoe
and the brake drum with foot brake. When the handle of parking brake is pulled, the brake handle actuates the
manual pull rod through brake cable (Refer to Fig 8-3E), and this cable pushes the manual brake push rod
rightwards with the support of pin that plays the function of rotating shaft, for the b rake shoe to step towards the
brake drum.
8.6 Adjustment of Brake Pedal (Mechanical Forklift Truck) (Refer to Fig 8-8.)
(1)Adjust short the push rod.
(2)Adjust the catch bolt, for the heights of pedals for 2-4t diesel forklift truck and gasoline forklift truck to be
respectively 111mm and 113mm, and that of pedal for 1-1.8t forklift truck to be 113mm.
(3)Push down the brake pedal by 30-40mm and 30mm for 1-1.8t, and adjust long the push rod until the front end
of push rod begins to contact the piston of master cylinder.
(4)Screw down the lock nuts for push rod.

9.1 Overview
Hydraulic system is composed of main oil pump, multi-way valve, lift cylinder, tilt cylinder, and oil pipeline, as
well as the direct transmission oil pump of engine power-take-off (P.T.O).
9.2 Main Oil Pump
The main oil pump is a gear pump, mainly composed of pump body, pump cover, one pair of gears, bearing, and
seal ring. Load balanced bearing and special lubricating method are applied to main oil pump, for the end face of
gear to gain the minimum clearance.
As pump body and pump cover are light and firm, as they are made of alloy aluminum. The two shafts
respectively provided for driving gear and driven gear are separately installed on the bearing of pump body. These
bearings are made of special material, to bear the radial load of gear shaft on one hand, and to serve as the baffle
seat for the end face of gear on another.
77
On the side of drive shaft, one oil seal is pressed and fitted on the pump body, to ensure the sealing property. The
sealing between pump body and cover is ensured with seal ring in special shape mounted.
9.3 Multi-way Valve and Bypass Valve (Fig 9-1)
The 2-disk multi-way valve consists of four-plate valve body, two spool valves, one safety overflow valve, and
one bypass valve. The four-plate valve body is assembled using three stub bolts and nuts, and the inclined spool
valves are mounted with inclined autolocking valve.

(3)Pull-out Spool Valve (Fig 9-4)
At this point when neutral position is closed, the oil from the
oil inlet port opens the one-way valve and flows to the
cylinder interface A, while the oil from cylinder interface B
flows to the oil tank through low-pressure channel.By virtue
of return spring, it may allow the spool valve to return to
neutral position.
Fig 9-4
9.3.2 Main Safety Overflow Valve and Bypass Safety Valve (Fig 9-5)
The main safety overflow valve is composed of the two parts including main valve A and pilot valve B. When
multi-way valve is reserved, the high-pressure oils in cavity C and working mechanisms (such as lift cylinder and
tilt cylinder) are connected, the pressure oil acts on the pilot valve B, through the fixed throttle holes D and E.
When system pressure is larger than the system regulated pressure, the pilot valve B is opens, for the pressure in
cavity F to drop. The valve core of the entire main valve A moves rightwards, for the pressure oil to be directly
connected with low-pressure channel G, for cavity C to be relieved, in order to ensure the stability of system
pressure. Adjusting screw H may be used to adjust the stable pressure value of the system.
The bypass safety valve is in a relatively simple structure, as a direct-acting type of overflow, to get a stable
pressure value for steering system by making use of the principle for direct balance of liquid pressure with spring
force. When operating wheel is operated, the oil cavity M is connected with high-pressure oil circuit. When
system pressure is larger than spring pressure, the valve core N moves rightwards, and pressure oil is connected
with low-pressure oil circuit through cavity T, for cavity M to be relieved, in order to ensure the stability for the
pressure of steering system. Adjusting screw K may be used to adjust the stable pressure value of the system.
79
L valve is a balanced spool valve, and the spool valve L moves leftwards and rightwards through continuous
change in flow and pressure to change the openness in the two places of R and S, to ensure that the flows to
working cavity Q and outlet PS to fully hydraulic steering gear are automatically balanced, and to be passed by
steadily according to proportion. a, b, and c are the fixed throttle holes.
Connected with
Steering Gear
Fig 9-5
Fig 9-6
80
The interfaces “A” and “B” of valve body are respectively connected to the front and rear cavities of piston for
tilting cylinder. When spool valve is pulled out, the high-pressure oil (P) enters into interface “A”, while the oil in
the rear cavity returns from “B” to oil tank (T), and at this point the mast is under the back-tip status.
When inclined spool valve is pushed, the high-pressure oil enters into interface “B”, to allow the autolock valve in
spool valve to act by virtue of high-pressure oil, while “A” is connected with low pressure. When engine turns off
or stop rotation, there is no high-pressure oil for autolock inside the spool valve to act, hence the interface “A”
cannot be connected with low pressure, the mast will not tip forward, and negative pressure can neither be formed
in tilt cylinder.
9.4 Oil Circuit of Hydraulic System (Main Oil Circuit) (Fig 9-7)
The high-pressure oil from the main oil pump reaches the multi-way pump, divided into two parts via multi-way
valve and through the bypass valve therein: One part for high-pressure oil to be divided into lift cylinder or tilt
cylinder, and the other part is divided at an invariable flow rate into steering gear, to control the steering cylinder.
When lift and tilt two spool valves are at the neutral position, the high-pressure oil returns to oil tank directly
through channel. When lift spool valve is pulled, the high-pressure oil passes through the throttle valve, and then
pushes the piston rod upwards from downward of lift cylinder piston. When lift spool valve is pushed, the lower
part of lift cylinder piston is connected with low pressure, for piston rod to drop depending on self weight and
cargo weight. AT this point the oil flowing out from lift cylinder passes through the throttle valve for the dropping
speed to be controlled. When tilt spool valve is operated, the high-pressure oil may flow into the front cavity of tilt
cylinder, while the other side is connected with low pressure, for the door frame to achieve the back tip or front tip
action.
81
9.5 Lifting Cylinder (Fig 9-8)
Two single-acting lifting cylinders are fixed on the rear side of channel steel for the outside mast, and the bottom
part of cylinder is fixed on the bracket of lift cylinder on the outside mast using pins and bolts, while the top part
of cylinder (namely the top part of piston rod) is connected with active beam. The piston strokes for the two
cylinders shall be adjusted to be consistent, for the two cylinders to lift synchronously, and the parts 28 and 29
may be adjusted to achieve the synchronization, if they are still not synchronized.
The lifting cylinder is mainly composed of cylinder body, piston, piston rod, cylinder cover, cylinder bottom and
sealing parts. One oil port is available in the lower part of cylinder body, while one return oil pipe is mounted in
the upper part of cylinder body for a small amount of leaked oil above the piston to return to oil tank. The piston is
fastened onto the piston rod using slot nut and cotter pine, and one YX seal ring, retainer ring and wear ring are
fitted on the outer edge of piston. This piston moves along the inner surface of cylinder body under the action of
high-pressure oil. Shaft sleeve and dust ring pressed and matched are mounted in the inner hold of cylinder cover,
and this shaft sleeve supports the piston rod, while the dust ring is able for cylinder body to resist dust. The stroke
of piston may be adjusted by making use of cylinder cover.
When the lift spool valve of multi-way valve is pulled backwards, the high-pressure oil enters through the bottom
part of lift cylinder, to push the piston and the piston rod, for fork and inside mast to lift by virtue of lift chain.
When lift spool valve is pushed forward, the piston of lift cylinder drops under the effect of piston rod, bracket ,
fork and cargo weight, for the oil under the piston to flow out. The oil drained out from lift cylinder is controlled
by throttle valve, and returns to oil tank through multi-way valve.
82
There is one shut-off valve on the bottom of lift cylinder, (Refer to Fig 9-9), to prevent cargo from abrupt drop,
when high-pressure rubber hose is suddenly cracked. The oil from lift cylinder passes through the spool valve of
shut-off valve, and the oil holes around the spool valve allow the two rubber hoes to generate pressure difference.
When this pressure difference is smaller than the spring force, the spool valve will not act. If the high-pressure
rubber hose is cracked, a very huge pressure difference is formed, for the spool valve to move and block up its
surrounding oil holes, only to allow a small amount of oil to flow through the pores on the end part of spool valve,
for fork to slowly drop.

When tilt spool valve is pushed forward, the high-pressure oil enters from the bottom of cylinder, thus to push
forward the piston for mast to tip forward by 6º, and when spool valve is pulled backwards, the high-pressure oil
enters from the front end of cylinder body, to push backward the piston, until the mast tips backwards by 12º.
9.8 Maintenance of Main Oil Pump
9.8.1 Disassembly (Refer to Fig 9-18 and 9-19 for Imported Main Oil Pump in combination.)
(1) Clamp the pump gently on the vice stand after cleaning, and firstly remove the bolt 12.
(2) Detach pump cover 1 and seal rings 8, 9, 10, and 11.
(3) Remove the front-end cover 7, and 8, 9, 10, and 11.
(4) Demount bearings 3 and 4, as well as gears 5 and 6 from pump body 2, and bearings may be dismounted
through pressing the gears, if it is difficult to disassemble them.
It is the best to make arrangement according to the sequences in Fig 9-18 and Fig 9-19, in order to facilitate
examination.
9.8.2 Examination and Repair
The parts that have been disassembled, except rubber, shall be cleaned firstly with oil, and examined, repaired, or
replaces according to following steps.
(1) Examination of Pump Body
High-efficiency gear pump is designed into that the crest of gear rotates along the inner surface of pump body
through slight press and touch, and the trace of scratch will be generated around the inner surface of the crest and
the pump body. Under normal situation, its trace shall not exceed a length 1/3 of the inner edge of the pump body,
and if it reaches 1/2 length, it indicates that the bearing and gear shaft are severely worn out. In Fig 9-12, when
size X exceeds 39.180mm, or the trace of scratch on inner edge exceeds one half, it is required to replace the
pump body.

b) Crack appears around the end face, and a severe coarseness is
felt when it is scraped with finger nail.
c) The bonding trace with other extraneous substance appears on
the internal slide surface and the end face. Gear Side
Most cases of abovementioned failures are aroused by un-cleaned
hydraulic oil. At this point the whole oil circuit may be cleaned or
the oil may be replaced. Some individual cases are attributed to Inlet
overloaded safety valve, air corrosion, or too high temperature, or
too low viscosity. In the case when the abovementioned failures
occur, leading to coarseness or severe wear on the gear shaft or the
end face of gear, the gear and bearing shall be replaced. The limit Fig 9-13
size for bearing maintenance is:
(3)Examination of Gear
So long as clean hydraulic oil is used, generally speaking, gear shaft
and gear end face will not be damaged. In the case when a
coarseness to a certain degree is felt when it is scraped with finger
nail on the end face of bearing and gear, or crack occurs on the gear
end face, or severe un-uniform wear is present on the gear end face,
the gear shall be replaced at this point. When gear surface is worn or
discolored, it indicates that failure has also occurred with bearing or
pump body, and it shall be examined. The limit size for the axial Fig 9-14
diameter of gear shaft is 18.935mm (as indicated in Fig 9-15).
Fig 9-16

9.8.3 Reassembly (Fig 9-17)
(1) Clean the disassembled parts.
(2) Coat a thin layer of clean grease on the lips of oil seals 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14.
(3) Place the pump body 2 and the pump cover 1 on a flat stand, and coat the inner surface of pump body with
clean hydraulic oil.
(4) Put bearings 3 and 4 into the pump body, and pay attention not to misplace their mutual positions. Place the
bearing at correct position, and it may be taken out for reassembly, in the case of difficulty. It is never allowed to
knock it gently or press it in forcibly.

9.8.4 Test Run
Operation shall be carried out after assembly. Observe whether or not the pump has the specified performance
after reassembly, and do running-in. It is required for test run to be performed when pump is assembled on forklift
truck, and test run shall be conducted according to the following method. If pump is blocked or its internal part is
excessively worn out, oil shall be replaced and filter shall be replaced or cleaned.
(1) Install pressure gauge on high-pressure pipeline near the pump.
(2) Place the control valve at neutral gear, for pump to run at a speed of 500-1000rpm. As this valve is at neutral
gear, the reading of pressure gauge shall be slightly lower than 1MPa (10kg/cm), and keep the pump running for
10 minutes under such status.
(3) Increase its rotating speed to 1500-2000rpm, and allow it to be idle for 10 minutes.
(4) Keep the rotating speed at Step (3) unchanged, increase the pressure to 2-3MPa (20-30kg/cm) for a further
operation for 5 minutes, and repeat such operation until maximum pressure is reached. During this process, use
overflow valve to increase load so as to adjust pressure. Allow each oil circuit to work for 5 minutes, and replace
or clean the filter core of return oil filter. When pressure is boosted, attention shall be paid to oil temperature, as
well as the surface temperature and working sound of pump body. IF oil temperature or pump temperature is too
high, the pump shall be unloaded immediately to lower the temperature, and then this process is to be repeated.
(5) After the above procedure is completed, readjust the overflow valve to the original working condition and
perform unloading test.
