WARNING
Do not operate this truck unless you have been authorized and trained to do so, and have read all warnings and instructions in Operator’s Manual and on this truck.
Do not operate this truck until you have checked its condition. Give special attention to wheels, horn, battery, controller, lift system, brakes, steering mechanism, guards and safety devices.
Operate truck only from designated operating position. Do not carry passengers. Keep feet clear of truck and wear foot protection.
Observe applicable traffic regulations. Yield right of way to pedestrians. Slow down and sound horn at cross aisles and wherever vision is obstructed.
Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and on uneven or slippery surfaces that could cause truck to slide or overturn. Use special
care when traveling without load as the risk of overturn may be greater.
Always look in direction of travel. Keep a clear view, and when load interferes with visibility, travel with load trailing.
Use special care when operating on ramps travel slowly, and do not angle or turn. Travel with load downhill.
Do not handle loads which are higher than the chassis unless load is secured so that no part of it could fall backward. Before lifting, be sure load is centered, forks are completely under the chassis backrest.

2-4. GENERAL CONTROL OPERATION.
The speed control (See Figure 2-2) located on each side of the control head provides fingertip control for driving the truck. Rotate the control in the direction you want to travel. The farther you rotate the control from the neutral position, the faster the truck will travel.
R6617
Figure 2-2 Forward/Reverse Control
The pushbutton switches (See Figure 2-3), located on the front of the control head activate the lift-lower controls and the horn.
R6618
Figure 2-3 Pushbutton Switches
The brake is fully applied by lowering or raising the steering arm. (See Figure 2-4) All traction control power is shut off when the brake is engaged. When the steering arm is in the upright position, the brake acts as a parking brake. Deadman braking occurs when the handle is released and spring action raises steering arm to the upright position.
R8505
Figure 2-4 Brake Actuation
2-5. DRIVING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES.
1.Turn on the emergency disconnect and the key switch. Grasp the grips of the steering head so that the speed control can be comfortably operated by either thumb.
2.Lower the steering arm to a comfortable position above horizontal to disengage the brake and to energize the electrical circuits. If the truck is not moved, the electrical circuits will time out and will deenergize. See Figure 2-4.
3.To move forward (with load in front), slowly press the speed control forward. See Figure 2-2. Press the forward speed control farther to increase speed.
4.To slow down or stop, release the speed control and lower or raise the steering arm to the horizontal or vertical position. See Figure 2-4. In those positions, the brake engages, slowing or stopping the truck.
5.Procedures for movement in reverse are the same as in the forward direction except slowly press the speed control backward. See Figure 2- 2.
2-6. BELLY-BUTTON SWITCH.
The belly-button switch (Figure 2-5) minimizes the possibility of the driver being pinned by the steering arm while driving the lift truck in slow speed. If the switch presses against the operator while the lift truck is being driven toward the operator, the switch changes the direction of the lift truck.

To lift forks, push in either LIFT button and hold until forks reach desired height. To lower forks, push in either LOWER button and hold until forks descend to desired height.
2-9. LOADING AND UNLOADING.
1.Move truck to location where load is to be picked up.
2.Move the truck into position so forks are within pallet or skid, and the load is centered over the forks and as far back as possible.
3.Raise forks to lift load.
4.Drive to area where load is to be placed.
5.Move truck to align load with its new position.
6.Lower the load until it rests squarely in place and the forks are free.
7.Slowly move the truck out from under the load.
2-10.PARKING.

SECTION 3
PLANNED MAINTENANCE
3-1. GENERAL.
Planned maintenance consists of periodic visual and operational checks, parts inspection, lubrication, and scheduled maintenance designed to prevent or discover malfunctions and defective parts. The operator performs the checks in SECTION 3, and refers any required servicing to a qualified maintenance technician who performs the scheduled maintenance and any required servicing.
3-2. MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY CHECKS.
Table 3-1 is a monthly and quarterly inspection and service chart based on normal usage of equipment eight hours per day, five days per week. If the lift truck is used in excess of forty hours per week, the frequency of inspection and service should be increased accordingly. These procedures must be performed by a qualified service technician or your Global Industrial Service Representative.
3-3. BATTERY CARE.
3-3.1. General
The 988993 may be equipped with maintenance free batteries.
The care and maintenance of the battery is very important to obtain efficient truck operation and maximum battery life.
CAUTION: Gases produced by a battery can be explosive. Do not smoke, use an open flame, create an arc or sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Ventilate an enclosed area well when charging.
CAUTION: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which may cause severe burns. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. In case of contact, flush immediately and thoroughly with clean water. Obtain medical attention when eyes are affected. A baking soda solution (one pound to one gallon of water) applied to spilled acid until bubbling stops, neutralizes the acid for safe handing and disposal.
Leakage voltage from battery terminals to battery case can cause misleading trouble symptoms with the truck electrical system. Since components of the truck electrical system are insulated from truck frame, leakage voltage will not normally affect truck operation unless a short circuit or breakdown of circuit wire insulation to truck frame occurs.
A voltage check from battery connector terminal to battery case should indicate near zero volts. Typically, however, the sum of the voltages at both terminals will equal battery volts. This leakage voltage will discharge the battery. As battery cleanliness deteriorates, the usable charge of the battery decreases due to this self discharge.

3-1 |
Although a leakage voltage reading of zero volts may not be possible, a cleaner battery will have more usable charge for truck operation and not affect operation of electronic devices on the unit.
3-3.2. Safety Rules
•Wear protective clothing, such as rubber apron, gloves, boots and goggles when performing 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 bubbing stops and rinse with clean water.
•If truck is equipped with wet cell batteries, keep vent plugs firmly in place at all times except when adding water or taking hydrometer readings. Do not allow dirt, cleaning solution or other foreign material to enter cells. Impurities in electrolyte has a neutralizing effect reducing available charge.
•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 cell long after charging has stopped.
•Do not lay metallic or conductive objects on battery. Arcing will result.
•Do not touch non-insulated parts of DC output connector or battery terminals to avoid possible electrical shock.
•De-energize all AC and DC power connections before servicing battery.
•Do not charge a frozen battery.
•Do not use charger if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged.
3-3.3. Battery Care and Charging
CAUTION: Never smoke or bring open flame near the battery. Gas formed during charging is highly explosive and can cause serious injury.
1.Charge the battery only in areas designated for that use.
2.Battery terminals should be checked and cleaned of corrosion regularly. Good battery terminal contact is essential not only for operation, but also for proper charging of the battery.
3.The charging requirements will vary depending on the use of the truck. The battery should be given as equalizing charge on a weekly basis. This charge should normally be an additional three hours at the finish rate.
4.Make certain battery used meets weight and size requirements of truck. NEVER operate truck with an undersized battery.
3-3.4. Battery Cleaning
Always keep vent plugs tightly in place when cleaning battery. When properly watered and charged, the battery will remain clean and dry. All that is necessary is to brush or blow off any dust or dirt that may accumulate on them. However, if electrolyte is spilled or overflows from a cell, it should be neutralized with a solution of baking soda and water, brushing the soda solution beneath the connectors and removing grime from the covers. Then rinse the battery with cool water from a low pressure supply to remove the soda and loosen dirt. If batteries stay wet consistently, they may be either overcharged or over filled. This condition should be investigated and corrected.
3-3.5. MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERIES
Some trucks may be equipped with maintenance free batteries. These batteries are completely sealed, will not require any watering and have a full 80% discharge available.
Sealed Maintenance Free batteries contain a pressure release valve and under normal operating conditions do not require any special ventilation.
CAUTION: Do not try to open this battery or remove the pressure release valve.
Only under severe overcharging, such as connected to an improperly sized charger, will any significant amount of gasses be released from the battery. Also, being a valve regulated battery, it never requires watering.
3-2 |
BL-GL33-0618 - 09-12-2019 |
3-4. CHARGING BATTERIES
Charging requirements will vary depending on depth of discharge and temperature. Follow safety rules when placing a battery on charge.
Proceed as follows:
1.Park truck at charging station with forks lowered and turn the key switch off.
2.Check the condition of the AC cord and battery cables. If there are any cuts in the cable, any exposed wires, loose plugs or connectors, DO NOT attempt to charge the batteries. Contact appropriate personnel for repairs to be made.

4-2. CONTROLLER TROUBLESHOOTING
4-2.1. Fault Detection.
The controller provides diagnostics information to assist technicians in troubleshooting drive system problems. When a fault is detected, the appropriate fault code is signaled via the panel mounted LED.
4-2.2. Hand Held Programmer (Optional)
The hand held programmer is available that is designed specifically for use with the controller. The programmer is available through your Global Industrial dealer.
4-2.3. Fault Recording.
Fault events are recorded in the controller's memory. However, multiple occurrences of the same fault are recorded as one occurrence.
The fault event list can be loaded into the programmer for readout. The Special Diagnostics mode provides access to the controller's diagnostic history file. The history file contains the entire fault event list created since the diagnostic history file was last cleared. The standard Diagnostics mode provides information about only the currently active faults.
4-2.4. General Checkout.
Carefully complete the following checkout procedure. If you find a problem during the checkout, refer to paragraph 4-2.7. for further information.
The checkout can be conducted with or without the handheld programmer (See Paragraph 4-2.2.). However, the checkout procedure is easier with a programmer. To evaluate the system without a programmer, observe the LED and note the flashing pattern and refer to for the code description.
CAUTION: Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel off the ground before beginning these tests.
Turn the keyswitch off and make sure the brake is applied, the throttle is in neutral, and the forward/reverse switches are open.
Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand directly in front of or behind the vehicle during the tests.
1.Disconnect the battery charger and connect the programmer to the 4-pin connector (Figure 4-1) on the controller.
R6759
Figure 4-1. Controller Terminals
2.Turn the lift truck key switch to the ON position. The programmer should “power up” with an initial display (2, Figure 4-2), and the controllers Status LED should begin steadily blinking a single flash. If neither happens, check for continuity in the key switch circuit and controller ground.
R7090
Figure 4-2. Hand Held Programmer
4-4 |
BL-GL33-0618 - 09-12-2019 |
3.Put the controller into the diagnostic mode by pressing the “Menu Navigation Key” (1, Figure 4- 2). Using the Navigation key, select the Faults menu. Display the Faults menu by pressing the Right side of the Navigation key. Press the Right side of the Navigation key again to display the list of System Faults. The display should indicate “No Known Faults.”
Release the brake by pulling down the steering arm into the operating position. The controllers LED should continue blinking a single flash and the programmer should continue to indicate no faults. If there is a problem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code and the programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you are conducting the checkout without a programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code in Table 4-3.
When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle the brake in order to clear the fault code.
4.With the brake released, select a direction and operate the throttle. The motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it does not, verify the wiring to the forward/reverse switches and motor. The motor should run proportionally faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to Paragraph 4-2.7.
5.Put the controller into the test mode by using the Navigation key (1) to select the "Monitor" menu. Select the Monitor mode by pressing the "Right" arrow on the Navigation key. Press the Navigation key "Down" arrow to scroll down to observe the status of the forward, reverse, brake, emergency reverse, and mode switches. Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct state on the programmer.
6.Check the controller's fault detection circuitry as described in Paragraph 4-2.5.
7.Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in a clear area. It should have smooth acceleration and good top speed.
8.Test the plug braking of the vehicle. The vehicle should smoothly slow to a stop and reverse direction, with the audible plugging tone.
9.Verify that all options, such as high pedal disable (HPD), static return to off (SRO), and anti-tie- down, are as desired.
10.Check to see whether the emergency reverse (belly button) feature is working correctly. Verify that the circuit is operational by momentarily disconnecting one of the emergency reverse wires. The vehicle should be disabled and a fault indicated.
BL-GL33-0618 - 09-12-2019 |
4-5 |
4-2.5. Diagnostic History
The handheld programmer can be used to access the controller's diagnostic history file. When the programmer is connected to the unit, the error log file is automatically uploaded into the handheld programmer.
To see the present status of the unit, use the Menu Navigation Key (1, Figure 4-2) to select:
Faults->System Faults.
To access this log, use the Menu Navigation Key to select:
Faults->Fault History
The faults are shown as a code and descriptive text. If there are multiple faults, you have to scroll through the list using the Up and Down Buttons on the Menu Navigation Key
The faults may be intermittent faults, faults caused by loose wires, or faults caused by operator errors. Faults such as HPD or over-temperature may be caused by operator habits or by overloading.
After a problem has been diagnosed and corrected, clearing the diagnostic history file is recommended. This allows the controller to accumulate a new file of faults. By checking the new diagnostic history file at a later date, you can quickly determine whether the problem has been completely fixed.
To clear the diagnostic history file, select: Faults->Clear Fault History.
You will be asked to confirm your actions. Use the "plus" arrow (+) for yes to clear the menu and the "minus" arrow (-) (3) to cancel your selection and not clear the Fault History.
4-2.6. Test the Fault Detection Circuitry
1.Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel off the ground.
1.Turn off the key switch and emergency disconnect.
2.Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10 amp fuse and alligator clips, connect the controller's M and B- terminals.
3.Turn on the emergency disconnect (17) the key switch (20). Release the brake and apply the throttle. The motor should not operate.
4.Leave the key switch on and remove the in-line fuse wire. The vehicle status should continue to remain off.
5.Cycle the key switch off and on. Release the brake and apply the throttle. The vehicle should now operate normally.
4-2.7. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
The motor controller provides diagnostics information to assist in troubleshooting drive system problems. The diagnostics information can be obtained in two ways:
•Reading the appropriate display on the programmer
•Observing the fault codes issued by the panel mounted Status LED.
4-2.7.1. LED Diagnostics
During normal operation with no faults present, the Status LED is steady on. If the controller detects a fault the Status LED flashes a fault identification code continuously until the fault is corrected.
NOTE: The Status LED can only indicate one fault at a time. If multiple faults are detected, the highest priority fault code flashes until it is cleared.
With Fault Code Type parameter is set to 0, the status LED uses the fault codes listed in . Six single-digit codes are used: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9.
For suggestions about possible causes of the various faults, refer to Table 4-3 Troubleshooting Chart.

Sets the throttle range the controller interprets as neutral. |
|

|
Increasing the parameter setting increases the neutral range. |
|
Neutral Deadband |
|
5% |
This parameter allows the neutral deadband to be defined |
|
|
|
|
wide enough to ensure the controller goes into neutral when |
|
|
|
|
the throttle is released. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the pot wiper voltage required to produce 100% controller |
|

|
|
output. Increasing the Throttle Max setting reduces the wiper |
|
Throttle Max |
|
90% |
voltage required, and therefore reduces the stroke necessary |
|
|
|
|
to produce full output. This feature allows reduced-range |
|
|
|
|
throttle assemblies to be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When programmed On, vehicle drive is inhibited if a throttle |
|
|
|
|
command outside the neutral deadband is issued before the |
|
HPD |
|
ON |
controller is powered up. Drive will continue to be inhibited |
|
|
until the throttle is returned to within the neutral deadband. If |
|||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
the HPD fault is not cleared within 10 seconds, a wiring fault |
|
|
|
|
is declared and a power cycle is required. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This parameter is used to enable/disable the speed limit pot. If |
|
|
|
|
no speed limit pot is used, set Speed Limit Pot to Off. |

The throttle map parameter adjusts the static throttle map. The |
|
|
|
parameter setting corresponds to the throttle command at |
|
|
|
half throttle. |
Throttle Map |
|
50% |
A setting of 50% provides linear response. Values below 50% |
|
|
|
reduce the throttle command at low throttle positions, provid- |
|
|
|
ing enhanced slow speed maneuverability. Values above |
|
|
|
50% give the vehicle a faster, more responsive feel at low |
|
|
|
throttle positions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This parameter can be used to limit the controller’s response |
|
|
|
to sharp throttle movements, such as movements resulting |
|
|
|
from hand tremors. |
Tremor Suppression |
|
50% |
Larger values will provide a steadier ride, but they also result in |
|
|
|
more sluggish response to throttle request. There is thus a |
|
|
|
trade-off between crispness of response (low Tremor Sup- |
|
|
|
pression settings) and steady speed in the presence of trem- |
|
|
|
ors (high settings). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wigwag and unipolar throttle pots should be centered. Setting |
|
|
|
this parameter to On inhibits driving and puts the controller |
Calibration |
|
OFF |
into throttle autocalibration mode. |
|
|
||
|
|
|
Setting the parameter Off returns the controller to normal oper- |
|
|
|
ation. |
|
|
|
|
CURRENT MENU |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the maximum current the controller will supply to the |
|
|
|
motor during normal driving. By limiting the current supplied, |
Main Current Limit |
|
90A |
this parameter can be used to protect the motor from poten- |
|
|
|
tially damaging currents or to reduce the maximum torque |
|
|
|
applied to the drive system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the maximum current the controller will supply to the |
|
|
|
motor during braking. By limiting the current supplied, this |
Braking Current Limit |
|
90A |
parameter can be used to protect the motor from potentially |
|
|
|
damaging currents or to reduce the maximum braking torque |
|
|
|
applied to the drive system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boost current gives a brief boost of current that greatly |
|
|
|
improves performance with transient loads, such as starting |
|
|
|
on a hill, crossing a threshold, climbing obstacles, etc. When |
Boost Current |
|
90A |
the controller recognizes that the motor needs more current |
|
to respond to a drive request, it provides a current boost of a |
||
|
|
|
set amount for a set time. |
|
|
|
The Boost Current parameter defines the motor current limit |
|
|
|
during the boost period |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This parameter sets the maximum time that the boost current is |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The flexible speed input at J1 Pin 6 can be used to limit or to |
|
|
|
inhibit speed under certain conditions. For example, a switch |
|
|
|
could be installed under the seat so that if the operator drives |
|
|
|
the scooter while they are standing the max speed will be lim- |
|
|
|
ited. |
Type |
|

The Inhibit Type parameter is used to select how the inhibit |
|
function will be implemented. Depending on how the inhibit |
||
|
|
|
switch is wired into the system, set this parameter to: |
|
|
|
0 = B- active |
|
|
|
1 = B+ active |
|
|
|
2 = Open circuit active |
|
|
|
3 = B- inactive |
|
|
|
4 = B+ inactive |
|
|
|
5 = Open circuit inactive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This parameter limits the maximum speed allowed during |
Speed |
|

speed inhibit mode. A setting of 0 prevents drive during |
|
|
|
inhibit mode. |

|
|
Delay |
|
0.3 sec |
Sets the length of delay between when zero speed is com- |
|
|
|
manded and the electromagnetic brake is engaged. |
Fault Check |
|
ON |
Enables/disables the fault detection on the EM brake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A high initial voltage is applied to the brake coil when the brake |
|
|
|
is first released. After approximately 1 second, this peak volt- |
Hold Voltage |
|
18V |
age drops to the programmed Hold Voltage. The parameter |
|
should be set high enough to hold the brake released under |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all the shock and vibration conditions the vehicle will be sub- |
|
|
|
jected to. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set to On, the horn output (J1 Pin 3) will act as a brake |
|
|
|
light driver. The brake light must be driven by a relay. The |
Brake Light |
|
OFF |
brake light will be turned on when the throttle is returned to |
|
|
|
neutral and will remain on for about 2 seconds after the EM |
|
|
|
brake is engaged. |
|
|
|
|
HORN MENU |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When programmed On, the horn will be used to provide audi- |
|
|
|
ble fault codes whenever faults are present. These are the |
Fault Beep |
|
N/A |
same fault codes that are flashed by the status LED. If a fault |
|
should occur while the vehicle is driving in reverse with the |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reverse beep active, the fault signal will take precedence. If |
|
|
|
this audible fault alarm is not wanted, set Fault Beep to Off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When programmed On, the horn will sound whenever the vehi- |
Reverse Beep |
|
ON |
cle is being driven in reverse. On vehicles with reverse |
|
switches, the horn will sound when the reverse switch is acti- |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vated. |
|
|
|
|
Beep Constant |
|
OFF |
Sets the reverse beep to be a constant tone (when pro- |
|
grammed On) or a 1Hz pulse (when programmed Off). |
