GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ESP 19 hydraulic lift is designed and manufactured for use as a warehouse stocking
and order picking vehicle. Its guard rail design permits the operat
form with the load, while transferring parts to and from multiple overhead storage locations. The maximum platform load is limited to 450 lbs.
All ESP 19 operations are powered by a 24-Volt DC battery package. A 40-amp battery
charger and plug-in receptacle are included in the system for recharging the batteries
the end of each work period. A charge level indicator displays the battery charge status.
The platform lift function is hydraulic, including a hydraulic cylinder, reservoir, and
pump. The hydraulic pump motor is driven by a 24-Volt DC electric motor. Elevation is
by a 1-3/4 inch linear-displacement hydraulic cylinder and four telescoping mast sections. The lower mast section is raised by hydraulic cylinder. The
raised mechanically by connecting sets of chains and sheaves (pulleys). The lift platform
rises four inches for each inch of hydraulic cylinder extension.
Other electrically powered functions include a two-wheel drive transaxle for floor travel
and pushbutton steering. The maximum travel speed is enabled only when the lift platform is down. When the platform is raised, the travel speed is limited. The transaxle includes an electric brake that locks the drive wheels whenever forward or reverse travel is
halted. The electric brake is normally applied; the brake disengages when forward or re
verse tra
wheel lever can be used to disengage the electric brake, allowing the lift vehicle to be
towed.
Floor travel and platform lift functions are controlled from an upper control box located
on the lift platform. Floor travel is by joystick control with pushbutton steering. Lift
functions are by pushbutton control. Platform lift can also be controlled from a lower
control box mounted on the vehicle base. An electronic level sensor disables all lift and
travel f

Proper lift vehicle operation and safety are assured by performing the scheduled inspection and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual. The risk of platform free-fall is
eliminated by proper maintenance of the chains, sheaves and sheave pins, a properly installed flow restrictor valve, and a clean mast. The restrictor valve (non-adjustable) fixes

4-4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Hydraulic system maintenance varies by the amount of use and the environment in
which the lift vehicle is used. Keeping the hydraulic oil clean and the reservoir properly
filled will help prevent possible damage to the system.
Hydraulic System Inspection
Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage daily. Tighten or replace as
necessary to prevent hydraulic oil loss.
Fluid Check and Replacement
With the platform in its lowest position, the hydraulic oil level should be at the
MAXIMUM level mark (1-1/2 in. from top of reservoir).
The reservoir is initially filled with Energol HLP-HD46 (BP Oil); a high grade, nonfoaming hydraulic oil. This oil is recommended for use in climatic temperatures as low
as -20°F/-29°C. Dextron Automatic Transmission Fluid Type A is recommended for use
in temperatures as low as -40°F/-40°C.
If either of these oils is not available, a good grade SAE 10W hydraulic oil may be used
where the minimum climatic temperature is above 32°F/0°C. An SAE 5W hydraulic oil
may be used where temperatures are as low as 0°F/-18°C.
Do not mix different hydraulic oils. Clean the reservoir and sump strainer and replace
the hydraulic oil at least once a year. Clean the reservoir and sump strainer and replace
the oil whenever contamination is suspected.
Hydraulic System Air Bleeding Procedure
Delayed response or uneven movement of the hydraulic cylinder may indicate trapped
air in the hydraulic oil.
NOTE:Whenever the upper control box emergency stop pushbutton is engaged,
lift operation remains enabled at the lower control box. However, the
DOWN lift motion will be intermittent. Intermittent lift motion should
or
not be mistaken as trapped air in the hydraulic system.
Perform the following procedure to bleed trapped air from the hydraulic system.
1. Fill the reservoir to the
2. Fully raise the lift platform.
3. Lower the lift platform to allow oil with entrapped air to return to the reservoir.
Be careful not to overflow the hydraulic reservoir.
4. Leave the lift platform down and the lift vehicle at rest for 10 to 15 minutes
while air escapes the hydraulic oil.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as needed. Each time the platform is lowered, refill
the reservoir to prevent pumping more air into the hydraulic cylinder.

Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment
Perform the following procedure to adjust the pressure relief valve. Refer to Figure 4-6.
1. Move the ESP 19 lift platform to the fully
DOWN position.
2. Center 450 pounds of weight on the lift platform.
3. Loosen the jam nut. The pressure relief valve is on the back side of the pump.
th
4. Turn the pressure relief valve adjust screw 1/8
turn counterclockwise. This
will adjust the relief valve bypass pressure setting for less than 450 pounds of
lift.
5. Place the key switch in the
LOWER CONTROL position and press the UP pushbut-
ton. The pump should run, bypassing oil to the hydraulic reservoir.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the pressure relief valve for a bypass pressure higher than needed
to raise the 450 pound load. Hydraulic system overload may occur at a higher
bypass pressure, causing hydraulic failures or damage to the equipment.
6. With the platform lift function enabled (pump running), turn the pressure relief
valve adjust screw clockwise just enough to smoothly raise the platform without bypassing oil to the hydraulic reservoir.
7. Retighten the jam nut.

Flow Restrictor Valve Replacement
WARNING
Closely read and adhere to the following instructions whenever you remove and
install the flow restrictor valve. Failure to properly install the flow restrictor
valve can result in serious injury or death to personnel or damage to the
equipment.
The flow restrictor valve, Figure 4-7, is located inside the base of the hydraulic lift
cylinder. If the flow restrictor valve needs to be removed or replaced, it is important that
it be properly reinstalled.
1. Raise the platform and masts high enough to access the fitting. Support the
raised platform using a forklift or hoist to prevent it from lowering.
WARNING
Never work under the lift while it is raised unless the platform is fully supported
to prevent it from lowering. Failure to properly support a raised platform can
result in serious crushing injury or death.
2. Remove th e hydraulic line from the fitting. Then, remove the fitting.
3. Remove the flow restrictor valve using a 3/16” allen wrench.
4. When reinstalling the flow restrictor valve, make sure it is tightened in all the
way against the bottom.
5. When reinstalling the fitting, do not tighten it against the flow restrictor. If the
fitting is turned in too far, it can reduce or stop the o il flow to the cylinder.
6. Finally, reconnect the hydraulic line to the fitting. Make sure the o-ring seal on
the face of the fitting is not cut or tore.

4-5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the electrical system in proper working order.
Check daily all electrical wires for cuts, broken wires, potential short circuits, and any
other damage.
Battery Care and Charging
The electric system is designed to provide power for a normal work shift. However, the
charge life of the battery pack depends on machine usage. Plan your work to prevent
unnecessary use of electrical power.
Since the power source for the machine is a battery pack, proper battery care is important. Recharge the batteries after each work shift. When the machine is not being used,
the batteries should be charged at least once a week. Normal battery charging time
should be 10 to 12 hours. If the battery is extremely low, charging time may be as long
as 24 hours.
Clean the battery terminals every 6 months. Remove the cables from the battery posts,
clean the battery posts and cable ends to shiny metal, and replace the cables. Always
connect the insulated cable from the starter solenoid to the most positive post. Lubricate
the outside of the battery post connections with petroleum jelly or grease.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. Remove the battery charger cord from its box and plug into a 3-prong 115V
outlet, Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10. Battery Charger Cord
2. When there is power to the battery charger, a red “ON-CHARGING” LED on
the charger will be lit and the ammeter will display the rate of charge.
4-12
4 — MAINTENANCE
3. Once the battery voltage reaches a predetermined level programmed in the
electronic control, the yellow “80% CHARGE” LED will illuminate.
4. The charge will be completed 3-1/2 hours after the yellow “80% CHARGE”
LED is lit. The charger and all LED’s will automatically shut off. The battery
charge level indicator should indicate at least 3/4 charge.
NOTE: If the battery voltage does not reach the 80% level within 14 hours, the
charger will shut off and the “CHECK BATTERY” LED will light up.
CAUTION
Before making or breaking connections between charger and battery, always
remove the power cord from the 115 volt outlet. For more information, refer to
the instructions supplied with the battery charger.
5. After the charge cycle is completed, disconnect the battery charger cord from
the wall outlet, place it back into its box, and close and latch the lid. LIFT WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE LID IS NOT CLOSED SECURELY.
4-6 LIFT CHAINS AND SLIDE BLOCKS
WARNING
Do not operate a unit on which any chain assembly is damaged or in need of replacement. Operating a unit with a damaged chain can cause severe injury or
death to personnel and damage to equipment.
Inspect all lift chains every 6 months. Inspect for signs of wear, split leaves, loose pins,
clevis damage, and elongation. Replace any chain that is damaged in any way. Chain assemblies may be ordered from your dealer or direct from the factory. Do not operate a
unit on which any chain assembly is damaged and in need of replacement.
Chain Elongation Inspection
Refer to Figure 4-11. Measure 20 pitches of chain. Twenty pitches of new chain should
measure 12.5 in. (31.75 cm). Replace the chain if a 20-pitch length measures over 12.75
in. (32.385 cm).
Figure 4-11. Chain Elongation Inspection
4-13
ESP 19
Lift Chain Adjustment
1. Raise the platform to the maximum height. Then, lower the platform while
someone verifies that all sheaves (pulleys) are turning and that the chains are
not visibly damaged or worn.
2. Remove the plexiglass cover from the base.
3. When the platform is fully lowered, the lift chains should be equally tight.
Check each lift chain at mid-span. The lift chains should flex about 1/2 to 3/4
inch (12 to 19 mm), but there should be no loose play.
4. If a lift chain is loose, tighten the related clevis, Figure 4-12. Tighten the clevis
lock nut until the lift chain just becomes snug. Do not over-tighten any lift
chain. (An over-tightened lift chain will raise the platform from its rest position
at the bottom of the base slide ways).
5. After making a lift chain adjustment, verify that at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) of the
threaded clevis rod extends beyond the lock nut. Also recheck the slack of all
lift chains at mid-span; verify that all lift chains are equally snug.
6. If a single lift chain requires frequent adjustment, the clevis lock nut is probably worn. Replace any clevis lock nut that does not hold position during use.
7. Replace the plexiglass cover.

Slide Block Adjustment
Annually check for wear on the slide blocks and replace or retighten as necessary. If the
lift exhibits excessive mast sway, it is probable that the slide blocks need adjustment.
The slide blocks should be adjusted so that there is no air gap between the slide block
and the mast the slide block is moving against. There are 16 slide blocks, - 8 upper and
8 lower. Three upper slide blocks are shown in Figure 4-13.
Start with the slide blocks on one side of the inner mast. Adjust the upper and lower
slide blocks on one side, followed by the upper and lower slide blocks on the opposite
side. Repeat the adjustments for the center mast slide blocks, followed by the outer mast
slide blocks. The adjustment procedure is the same for all slide blocks:
1. Loosen, but do not remove the slotted hex screw securing the slide block.
2. Use an Allen wrench to turn the set screws clockwise. This will push the block
in against the next mast. Do not overtighten. Tighten the slotted hex head
screw to secure the slide block in position.
3. After all adjustments are made, fully extend the lift. If the platform can be
raised and lowered without hesitation or stopping, the blocks are properly adjusted.
Figure 4-13. Slide Blocks Adjustment
NOTE:The plastic slide blocks in the mast are made of a bearing material
which has a high degree of lubricity and need only be kept clean.
However, precautions should be taken to ensure that the paths along
which the blocks move are kept clean and lightly lubricated with a dry
type silicon lubricant.

Motor Controller Troubleshooting
1. Mak e sure there is Power present on the Motor Controller unit. L2
should be ON, if not ON, check to see if the power cable is properly
connected to the unit. If still no power to the un it, please check
resistances between the following terminals. If any resistance fails,
the motor controller is faulty.
a. GND and POWER Very High ~ M ohms
b. GND and MOTOR + Very High
c. GND and MOTOR - Very High
d. POW ER and MOTOR + Very High
e. POWER and MOTOR - Very High
2. Mak e sure the unit is communicating with the main controller (refer to
the Blink Codes). L7 and LED1 on the motor controller should be
blinking at high frequency. If not, check wiring between J12 of the
motor controller to the main controller. Check fuse on the motor
controller.
3. Make sure the brake is ok.
a. L5 on the Motor Controller is ON and L6 is OFF. If L5 is
OFF, it means that the brake's manual override system is
activated. In such case, the motor controller will not drive
the motor. Manual override lever situated on the brake
should be disengaged in order for the motor controller to
drive the motor.
4. L6 should only turn ON when the joystick is moved either forward or
reverse. If L6 remains ON or OFF regardless of the position of the
joystick, the motor controller may be faulty.
