Lockout/Tagout
In the interest of safety and to ensure compliance with
OSHA Regulations, (Standards - 29 CFR), control of
hazardous energy (lockout/tagout) - 1910.147, Crown
has developed guidelines for proper energy control
when performing service and maintenance on the
truck. Before performing any service or maintenance,
review appropriate sections in this service manual for
additional procedures to be followed.
In addition, Crown recommends that all mechanics
wear appropriate protective items, such as safety
glasses, work gloves, and steel-toed shoes, whenever
performing service or maintenance work on Crown
equipment.
Battery
Safety Rules
•Wear protective clothing, such as, rubber apron,
gloves, boots and full-face shield when per forming
any maintenance on batteries. Do not allow electrolyte to come in contact with eyes, skin, clothing
or floor. If electrolyte comes in contact with eyes,
flush immediately and thoroughly with clean water .
Obtain medical attention immediately. Should electrolyte be spilled on skin, rinse promptly with clean
water and wash with soap. A baking soda solution
(one pound to one gallon of water) will neutralize
acid spilled on clothing, floor or any other surface.
Apply solution until bubbling stops and rinse with
clean water.
•Keep vent plugs firmly in place at all times except
when adding water or taking hydrometer readings.
•Do not bring any type of flame, spark, etc., near the
battery. Gas formed while the battery is charging,
is highly explosive. This gas remains in the cells
long after charging has stopped.
•Do not allow dirt, cleaning solution or other foreign
material to enter cells. Impurities in electrolyte has
a neutralizing effect reducing available charge.
•If battery repair is planned, follow the battery man-
ufacturer's instructions concerning repair practices
and procedures.
Battery Care
Only qualified and experienced personnel should perform maintenance and repair on batteries.
•Make certain the charger being used matches the
voltage and amperage of the truck battery. This
voltage is listed on the truck serial plate.
•Before disconnecting or connectin g batte r i es to a
charger , make sure charger is "OFF". If an attempt
is made to do this while charger is "ON", serious
injury to you, the battery and charger could result.
•Never use a match or lighter. Battery fumes are ex-
plosive.
•Make certain battery used meets weight, size and
voltage requirements of truck (refer to seria l plate).
NEVER operate truck with an undersized battery.
Charging
Never smoke or bring flame near the battery. Gas
formed during charging is highly explosive and can
cause serious injury.
Consult the charger manufacturer's manual covering
your charger for hints on operation and maintenance.
•Do not lay metallic or conductive objects on bat-
tery. Arcing will result.

Hydraulic
AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS – Escaping fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from pin holes which
eject fluids under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Do not use your
hand.
Any fluid injected into the skin under high pressure
should be considered as a serious medical emergency
despite an initial normal appearance of the skin. There
is a delayed onset of pain, and serious tissue d amage
may occur. Medical attention should be sought immediately by a specialist who has had experience with this
type of injury.
When maintenance is to be performed on the hydraulic
system, make certain the hydraulic system is not under
pressure by:
•Move truck to a secure non-traffic maintenance
area with a level floor.
•No load on forks.
•Completely lower load engaging means (mast) or,
if required for maintenance, block mast sections at
the appropriate height as described in Mast of this
section.
•Lockout or tagout truck as described in Lockout -
Tagout in this section.
•Depressurize hydraulic reservoir by momentarily
opening cap on reservoir before disconnecting any
hydraulic lines or components.
•Operate hydraulic levers to remove any hydraulic
pressure that may be present.

Cleaning Methods
The preferred method of cleaning built up dirt and dust
from electric material handling equipment is dry pressured air . For localized deg reasing, use of an appropriate solvent is recommended.
If these methods are not effective and power washing
is the only alternative, extreme care must be exercised.
Electrical components including connectors, terminal
boards and wiring can be permanently damaged from
water and/or cleaning solvents. Mineral and chemical
residue left on or in components (i.e., circuit boards,
contactors, encoders, switches, potentiometers, etc.)
after washing is a proponent of oxidation and corrosion.
Functional integrity of contaminated components may
be questionable. Nuisance fault logging, intermittent
Crown Cleaning Products Chart
operation or immediate failure could be the result ant of
power washing. For these reasons all electronic components including motors must be protected. Component removal is the best method to eliminate the risk of
damage.
Power washing will also remove and/or destroy lubricants in or on the surface of shaf ts, unsealed bea rings,
hinges, exposed gears, bushings, chains, linkages,
etc. These Items must also be protected or properly lubricated after cleaning.
Consideration must also be given to metal surfaces.
The cleaning process can strip away paint and protective coatings applied to components (i.e., hydraulic
lines, terminal strips, linkages) for freezer/corrosion environment. Paint and/or protective coating must be reapplied to these areas to reduce the ch ance of oxidation and corrosion.
Before installing removed components, lubricating or
returning the equipment to service it must be free of
solvent residue and thoroughly dry.

Lubrication and Adjustment
To obtain maximum life of any industrial equipment, a
well planned maintenance program (PM), performed
by qualified technical personnel should be followed. In
conjunction with, and an integral part of, any planned
maintenance program should be daily operator input.
Operator involvement can greatly reduce truck down
time, assist in determining planned maintenance (PM)
schedules and ultimately save money. For these reasons, Crown recommends a checklist similar to the Operators Daily Checklist shown below.
Before performing maintenance to any unit, it should
be taken to an area set aside for maintenance o r a section where there is adequate space to perform required
work. This is a must to insure the safety of others and
to insure that proper maintenance is performed to the
unit.
If desired, padded packs of this checklist (OF-3772)
are available through your Crown dealer.

Trucks operated in below freezing temperatures must use Low Temp Hydraulic Oil & Grease.
For regular maintenance, access to various truck components is accomplished by removing various covers/
doors. The following is a general explanation of which
cover, door, etc. that must be removed to allow for the
most efficient access when performing service and/or
maintenance to components. Refer to the figures in this
section as an aid in locating parts that require attention.
Disconnect the battery and chock all wheels before
proceeding.
Loosen each battery retainer screw then lift and remove battery retainers to access:
•Battery rollers (battery removed)
•Battery retainer switches (left and right)
•Battery and connectors
Remove armrest cover to access:
•Armrest assembly
Remove floorboard to access:
•Brake switch (BRKS)
•Entry bar assembly and switches
•Switches (DMS1, DMS2 and DMS3)
•Brake pedal hall sensor (RPS1)
Remove steer axle cover plate to access:
•Axle assembly
•Steer motor
Remove floor suspension cover to access
•Suspension springs, linkage and damper
Lubrication
The following information provides guidelines for
proper lubrication intervals called out in the lubrication
chart. However, some operating conditions will require
more frequent checks and lubrication than listed. For
example, truck applications which operate in extreme
moisture or dust environments will require schedule
modification in each particular application.
Use high grade lubricants and fluids. Sources of these
lubricants may originate from almost any oil company;
those listed on page MA-1960-500 are typical and any
lubricant with equal specifications may be used.
On trucks equipped to operate in below freezing temperatures, low temperature hydraulic oil must be used.
All screws, washers, nuts, roll pins, retaining rings,
brake linkage, etc. need to be coated with a rust preventive (078882) to protect against corrosion. Lubrication intervals must be changed to a frequency that will
minimize corrosion and wear on moving shafts and
parts.
The truck has seven zerk fittings for lubrication purposes (nine zerks with sideshifter). Refer to the following information for specifications, locations, etc.
Crown 2007 PF15681-3
Use Planned Maintenance Inspection Report
(PF15345) for RC 5500 trucks as required to record
and assure maintenance checks.

WARNING

CAUTION
General Information
General Information
The hydraulic system in your truck is powered by a
gear type pump driven by either a DC motor or a three
phase AC motor. The pump, P1, supplies oil flow for
steering, lift and accessory functions.
Maximum pressure is limited by an adjustable relief
valve, RVM. The setting for RVM is noted on the hydraulic schematics. Refer to the service manual index
for pump, valve and manifold information.
AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS-Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from pin holes which
eject fluids under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Do not use your
hand.
Any fluid injected into the skin under high pressure
should be considered as a serious medical emergency
despite an initial normal appearance of the skin. Ther e
is a delayed onset of pain, and serious tissue damage
may occur. Medical attention should be sought immediately by a specialist who has had experience with this
type of injury.
Reservoir
With all cylinders in the retracted position and after all
air has been bled from the hydraulic system, fill reservoir so that the oil level is to the "FULL" mark on dipstick. The dipstick is located with the breather assembly in reservoir. The capacity of the hydraulic reservoir
at this level should be approximately 16.6 liters
(4.4 gallons).
The hydraulic system is very susceptible to dirt and
contamination that could, over time, create hydraulic
malfunctions. Therefore, bef ore adding oil to tr uck, filter oil with a 10 micron filter or with a 100 mesh str ainer .
This is especially important when oil source is a
55 gallon drum.
Filter
Every 12 months or 2000 hours:
•Clean suction strainer (100 mesh strainer).
•Replace breather cap (includes 10 micron ele-
ment).
•Replace return filter (10 micron element).
When replacing return filter , do not tighten filter with the
use of a wrench. A wrench should only be used for filter
removal.
Hydraulic Lines and Fittings
Blow air through all hose and lines to remove loose
•
particles before installing. Any rubber hose with
wire braid inner construction and any steel tube
lines which have been collapsed or kinke d are permanently damaged and must be replaced even if
the damage is not externally visible.
•Flexible hose must be replaced if it collapses in
normal operating position.
•All hoses and lines are to be clear of any surface or
edge which will cause damaging wear and cut s, or
on which they can become caught.
•All connections are to be leak free.
To install filter, apply a film of hydraulic oil to the seal
and hand tighten until seal contacts filter head. Then
tighten ½ revolution. Check for leaks.
Drift Test
All drift test should be conducted with a capacity load
(refer to serial plate for the rated cap acity of your truck).
The material used for the test load must be evenly
stacked within the limits of a four foot square p allet and
must be secured to the fork carriage with forks spread
to their maximum width.
Lift measurement is to be taken from the tip of the fork
to the floor.
Never stand or work under a suspended load.

General Information
Lift Drift Test
Place maximum load (refer to serial plate for rated capacity of your truck) on forks at rated load center, and
mast tilted back. Elevate the test load above staging
height. Shut off truck. After five minutes, measure the
distance the forks have drifted. Load drift downward
may not exceed 64 mm (2.5 in) over a five minute period.
Tilt Drift Test
Cycle tilt forward and back several times before testing.
Place maximum load at rated load center and elevate
load above staged height. With the mast at vertical
(0 in), the mast and carriage may not drift more than
19.05 mm (0.75 in) during a five minute period, measured at the tilt cylinder rod.
Steering Slip
With truck keyed up, stand or place weight on the pedals and turn the tiller into the stop and hold it against the
stop with 128.8-162.7 Nm (95-120 ft lb) steer force.
Check steer tiller speed for CW and CCW directions,
movement is not to exceed 10 rpm on trucks equipped
with standard oil and 20 rpm on trucks equipped with
freezer oil. If the movement exceeds these ratings, a
need for corrective action as indicated.
Trucks equipped with velocity fuses may experience
staging issues if an insufficient mix of low temperature
oil has been used.
For truck applications operating continually in temperatures at or above 4.4° C (40° F), use 100% standard
hydraulic oil (363504-101) (1). Refer to Figure 16063.
For truck applications operating continually in temperatures in a cool environment with freezer us e, a 50/50
blend of low temperature (363505-101) and standard
hydraulic oil (363504-101) (2) should be used.
The proper mixture of freezer hydraulic oil will ensure
the best and most efficient operation of your Crown
equipment.
Freezer Preparation
Crown trucks may require a mixture of low temperature
hydraulic oil, Crown P/N 363505-101 (3.78 liters
[1 gal]), blended 50% with standard hydraulic oil,
Crown P/N 363504-101 (3.78 liters [1 gal]) when used
in a freezer or cooler. High concentrations of low temperature oil is too thin for most cold storage operations
and therefore could shorten the life of the pump and
cylinder packings if used in higher ambient temperatures.
