cage floor horizontal,
• Ensure wheels are chocked, and, if installed, engage the parking brake,
• Allow the Niftylift to cool down,
• Disconnect power to the Niftylift,
• Disconnect batteries before replacing electrical components.
1.4.2 Maintenance information

Ensure maintenance is carried out in suitable workshop facilities with appropriate tools and suitable lifting
equipment.
Components must be replaced with identical or equivalent parts. If unsure contact your nearest Niftylift
approved dealer for advice.
Inspect all parts prior to reassembly and replace if necessary. Do not install faulty, used, or worn parts to
a Niftylift.
Replace all O-rings, seals and gaskets at reassembly.
Replace any parts with damaged threads; replace all roll pins, self locking fittings and circlips.
English 06/17 3
HR21 4x4 MK2
Service Manual
If any part resists removal check all fasteners, hydraulic lines, electrical wires and interferences before
continuing.
Keep all new parts in their packaging until they are to be installed, carry out inspection before installation.
Mark or tag all hydraulic lines before removal to avoid confusion and errors during reinstallation. Never
leave hydraulic lines open or open them in a contaminated area. Always use plugs or caps.
Use only recommended lubricants. See section 2.4.

WARNING COOLANT IS HOT AND PRESSURISED. WHEN COOL TO TOUCH, ROTATE
CAP TO THE FIRST STOP TO ALLOW EXCESS PRESSURE TO ESCAPE,
THEN REMOVE CAP COMPLETELY.
IF OVERHEATING SHOULD OCCUR, STEAM MAY GUSH FROM THE
RADIATOR OR RESERVE TANK RESULTING IN SEVERE BURNS.
1) Remove the radiator cap after the engine has

completely cooled. Ensure the coolant level
reaches the supply port.
2) On Hybrid machines ensure coolant level is
sufficient on the reserve tank. The level should
be between the full and low marks.
3) If coolant levels are low, top-up using the
correct specification fluid. See section 2.4.5
for coolant specifications and 2.4.1 for fluid
volumes.
Important;
• If the radiator cap has to be removed follow the
caution label and securely tighten the cap.
• If coolant should leak, consult your local Kubota or Perkins approved dealer.
• Ensure contaminated or sea water does not enter the coolant system.
• Use clean, fresh water with the correct amount of anti-freeze. See section 2.4.5.
• Periodically check the antifreeze specific gravity for correct freeze protection. See section 3.3.7.
• Do not refill reserve tank with coolant higher than the "FULL" level mark.
• Be sure to close the radiator cap securely. If the cap is loose or improperly closed, coolant may leak
out and quickly decrease the coolant level. Replace the radiator cap if necessary.

3.5.2 Storage
Should the Niftylift be unused for a period of time, it will be necessary to fully charge the batteries to prevent
irreversible damage.
IF A BATTERY IS DISCHARGED, ENSURE THAT IT IS CHARGED UP BEFORE
NOTICE BEING LEFT IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OR PUT INTO STORAGE
REGULAR MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES IS ESSENTIAL
NOTICE DURING STORAGE OR IDLE PERIODS. IF BATTERIES DISCHARGE BELOW
A CERTAIN VOLTAGE THEY BECOME UNUSABLE AND MUST NOT BE
RECHARGED. BATTERY FAILURE CAUSED BY NEGLECT WILL NOT BE
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE THAT THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries

Before placing the Niftylift into storage, ensure batteries are fully charged to 6.42V open circuit voltage
(100% state of charge). Isolate batteries (See section 1.5.6). Monitor open circuit voltage every 2 - 3
months (1 - 2 months if stored in temperatures greater than 32°C (90°F)). Batteries in storage should be
charged when they decline to 6.27V (75% state of charge).
Where possible always keep batteries in cool, dry environments. Storage in hot environments can
negatively impact batteries. Avoid direct exposure to heat sources during storage. Batteries self-discharge
faster at high temperatures.
Avoid storing in freezing temperatures, batteries can freeze in cold temperatures (less than 0°C (32°F)) if
they are not fully charged. If batteries are stored in cold environments, it is critical that they be kept at a
high state of charge.
Due to the potential for self-discharge during storage, batteries should be given a full charge prior to
placing back into service.
Lithium (Li-ion) batteries

Before placing the Niftylift into storage, ensure batteries are charged above the minimum storage voltage
of 50.12V (25% state of charge). Isolate batteries (See section 1.5.6).
Ensure that the battery does not drop below 42.0V at any time. If the battery pack is to be left unused for
more than 45 days, it must be checked periodically and if necessary, charged to ensure that the voltage
remains above 50.12V.
Where possible always keep batteries in cool, dry environments. While in storage the temperature should
be less than 70°C (158°F) and greater than -40°C (-40°F). Ideally the temperature should be less than 25°C
(77°F) and greater than 6°C (43°F).
Due to the potential for self-discharge during storage, batteries should be given a full charge prior to
placing back into service.

5 System overview
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 Hybrid system

The main hardware for this system consists of the following:
(1) 16.1 kW Kubota diesel engine
(2) Centrifugal clutch
(3) Motor/generator
(4) Motor controller
(5) 315 bar (4569 psi) 18cc variable displacement pump.
The hybrid system is self-contained and can run in either electric or hybrid mode.
When used in hybrid mode the power train can provide an equivalent of 30.3 kW power to the pump,
14.2 kW from motor and 16.1 kW from diesel engine. This allows the machine to work as a full
performance 4x4 machine when required but keeping the energy consumption and noise levels as low as
possible when performing lower duty operations. When in electric only mode the machine performs with
reduced noise and zero emissions.

5.1.2 Hybrid terminology
Term Description
Regeneration (Regen) State of the hybrid system during which the batteries are being charged
Boost State of the hybrid system during which the diesel engine is being
supported by power from the electric motor
Battery state Pre determined states of charge where the Niftylift will react differently
dependent on which one is active
Battery Discharge Indicator Indicates the % state of charge of the DC power batteries
(BDI)
5.1.3 Battery states
Battery states Hybrid reaction Electric reaction

Battery warning 11% - 15% Full machine performance - warning on display
Battery low 1% - 10% No boost, limited drive Reduced drive

speed based on power performance
available
Battery critical 0% Maximum regen at all No drive, limited boom

times dependent on function
power available
5.1.4 Power modes

Hybrid has three power modes, diesel only, electric only and hybrid. Modes are dependent on several
factors including battery state and component temperature.
Electric only
The Niftylift will operate using only power from the DC power batteries any time the engine is switched off.
Diesel only
Where the DC power batteries are below 10% of charge, boost will be disabled meaning all surplus power
from the engine is being used to charge (Regen) the DC power batteries.
Hybrid mode
The power option of the Niftylift when the engine is running and the battery state is above 10%, all hybrid
functionality is possible.
70 English 06/17
HR21 4x4 MK2
Service Manual
5.1.5 Operation
Boost
Boost is controlled automatically by monitoring the engine load and deciding whether boost is required
and to what level. It is enabled whilst the battery state is above battery low (10% on the way down and
15% on the way up) level and device temperatures are acceptable. Boost has priority over Regen at all
times except when in a battery low state.
The aim of boost is to maintain the minimum acceptable diesel RPM at all times up to maximum motor
controller current.
If at any point the battery state reaches Battery low <10% boost will only be activated again once the BDI
reaches 15%, this is to prevent erratic changes in performance when battery state is around 10%.
Regen
Regen is controlled automatically by monitoring the engine load and deciding whether there is surplus
power available. Regen is enabled if there has not been a boost demand and there is surplus power
available for a set period of time.
The regen map/charge algorithm consists of a constant current mode and a constant voltage mode which
adapt the level of charge dependent on the battery state.
Each type/manufacturer of battery requires a different algorithm and if batteries are changed an appropriate
algorithm must be used to ensure optimum performance at all times.
The regen level (max 40 Amps) is controlled by a number of variables, battery state and the surplus power
available.
Once the batteries are fully charged the control system will switch off regen until the BDI drops below
100% once again.

5.3 Boom system
5.3.1 Boom switch

Mounted on the links knuckle and operated by the raising of link booms or upper boom, this switch
controls both the operation of the Tilt Sensor, and the speed control function. With the booms in the
stowed position, the Tilt Sensor is by-passed, allowing the machine to negotiate slopes in excess of the
permissible elevated working angle, without isolating the drive function. At the same time, High Speed
drive (Depicted by a Hare Icon) is possible. When the booms are raised the Tilt Sensor is activated and
only Slow Speed drive is permitted. These control functions are of primary importance to safety of the
machine and operator; under no circumstances should this control function be isolated or by-passed.
5.3.2 Telescopic boom switch

Mounted inside the Telescopic Boom, this switch controls the operation of the Tilt Sensor and Speed
Control function as described in 5.3.1.

Tortoise 2.0 km/h (1.2 mph) 1.0 km/h (0.6 mph) 20
Off road 3.0 km/h (1.8 mph) 2.0 km/h (1.2 mph) 45
Elevated drive 0.7 km/h (0.4 mph) -
Electric only mode

All the listed driving modes are available in electric only operation. Available power is reduced to 14.2 kW
and hence performance is reduced. It is advisable to switch to hybrid mode when high power demand is
required e.g. off road driving.
Hybrid mode
In hybrid mode a full 30.3 kW of combined power is available for machine functions. In this mode the
machine consumes battery power to support the engine when required and regenerates battery power
when the function duty is low. Under continued high duty function for long periods (for example continued
4x4 off road driving) the battery levels will be significantly reduced to support the high power requirement.
Under such conditions it will be normal to have to recharge the battery levels prior to electric only use.

5.5 Charging system and batteries
5.5.1 Charging system - diesel

The engine alternator charges the start battery when the engine is running which keeps the battery at
14.4V.
5.5.2 Charging system - hybrid

As standard all Niftylifts are fitted with a 25A variable input intelligent charger. The Niftylift can be left on
charge over an infinite period or can be used whilst on charge.
Engine charge or regen will charge the batteries at differing rates up to a maximum of 40A depending on
the mode of operation.
The engine alternator charges the start battery when the engine is running which keeps the battery at
14.4V. A step-down unit is fitted to all Niftylifts to convert 48V to 14.4V, which provides control system
voltage and keeps the start battery in a charged state. This system also helps keep 48V batteries and the
12V battery in good condition regardless of the operating mode.
5.5.3 Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries

390 Ah Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are fitted as standard. The Niftylift charger is tuned to
provide the best performance with AGM batteries. If alternative batteries are used the charger must be
reconfigured to suit the replacement batteries. Contact Niftylift for further information.
These batteries are maintenance free, therefore DO NOT REFILL with distilled (deionised) water.
Irreparable damage will occur.
5.5.4 Lithium (Li-ion) batteries

As an alternative to standard AGM batteries, two 111 Ah Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries are used. Batteries
are given master and slave status with the master battery located in the control side battery carrier. Both
battery circuits are protected separately by a 125A SIBA fuse located within each battery carrier.
Should batteries require replacement, it will be necessary to programme the battery for master or slave
status. Under no circumstances should two batteries with the same status be installed. When replacing
batteries the open circuit voltage must be within 0.5V of each other before connecting. Alternative
batteries should not be used.
These batteries are maintenance free, therefore DO NOT REFILL with distilled (deionised) water.
Irreparable damage will occur.
Batteries should never be left in a discharged state and charged at the end of each working day or shift.

The Niftylift is fitted with a variable displacement pump (open loop load sensing). See Pump specifications
table for information. The load sense signal is obtained either from the boom enable valve or from the drive
control valve. The tank is pressurised up to 1.3 bar (18.9 psi) absolute to allow positive head at the suction
port. Note that if any maintenance is carried out on the hydraulic system, undo the filler cap on top of the

5.8 Drive control valve

This valve comprises several individual components all directly involved in the hydraulic supply to the
wheel drive motors. Amongst these are the drive control valves which allow the operator to propel the
machine forward or backward by using the Joystick.
In addition the Brake Release Valve (BRV) is also incorporated into this valve block. It is a solenoid
operated valve, which controls the brake function on the machine. This valve must be energised to allow
the machine to move. If no voltage is present, the wheel motors will not be able to develop drive torque,
whilst at the same time, the parking brakes will remain engaged. The BRV will only operate when a green
power button is being used (or the Platform Foot-switch is depressed) in Drive mode. If the tilt sensor
detects an excessive inclination whilst the booms are raised it is the BRV which is de-energised to isolate
the machine.
Refer to hydraulic schematic listed in Table 1.2 on page 4 for more details.
5.9 Four wheel drive (4x4)

The Anti-Cavitation Valve divides/combines the flow to all four wheels equally. Bypass restrictors are fitted
to help with cornering manoeuvres. 250 bar (3626 psi) pressure is supplied from the DCV.
As with all diff-lock systems, power consumption is increased with the diff-lock engaged, steering whilst
diff-lock is engaged further increases power consumption.
When Tortoise or Off-road speed is selected, the diff-lock is engaged and all four wheels are driven.
Diff-lock is not engaged when Hare speed is selected.
5.10 Brake release

The front and rear brakes are released via the DCV which is energised when driving. In drive condition
30 bar (435 psi) pressure is supplied to the gearboxes.
5.11 Steering
When steer is activated, steer flow is supplied from the DCV to the steer cylinder. Pressure Reduction
Valves fitted to the main DCV limit the maximum pressure on the steer line to 160 Bar (2321 psi). This
will disable steer when the cylinder reaches the end of stroke.

5.15 Motor generator

As previously highlighted, a 48V AC 3 phase motor/generator is fitted to the power train. The motor is
equipped with a temperature and speed sensor which feeds information to the motor controller. Current
supplied to the motor is controlled by the motor controller. The motor can operate at full power (14.2 kW
output) for 20 minutes continuously. If the motor overheats the motor controller will reduce the current
supply and operate in a low power mode. Using the full available 350A line current, the motor can provide
60 Nm torque and 14.2 kW shaft power.
Curtis diagnostic unit
This unit can be used to monitor the operation of the motor controller and for troubleshooting. Under the
fault menu existing faults (if applicable) and previous faults are shown.

6.4 Engine fault codes

The engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) is located on the power tray. To access, open the engine
(right hand) canopy and swing the power tray away from the superstructure. See section 3.3.1.
When power is applied, the LED (1) on the ECM will flash once for one second to indicate that the LED is
working. A flashing LED indicates a fault condition, if there are multiple faults, the LED will flash them all
in sequence. Count the flash codes to determine the fault conditions.
See Table 6.1 for descriptions.
If there are no faults, the LED will flash once at reset and from then on indicate the detection of engine
speed. A continuous ON LED indicates that a valid engine speed is being sensed.
The ECM will attempt to shut down for certain faults and will not permit starting after reset with faults 1, 5
and 8.

6.6 Error codes

When an error is detected, an error code will be displayed on the cage and ground control display units.
Upon rectification of any errors the Niftylift should be power cycled. Power the Niftylift down and power
up again to complete a power cycle. Ensure the error code is cleared before returning the Niftylift to
operation.
The error code consists of x4 Hexadecimal values (may contain letters or numbers); see Table 6.2.
Note: The same Hexadecimal value will have a different meaning depending on its position in the error
code.
