ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELD

  WARNING 

Never operate Power Assist models with the Elec-
tromagnetic Shield removed.

A metallic shield is installed between the MDU and brake
assembly and the steering assembly on power assist steer-
ing units. This shield deflects the electromagnetic field gen-
erated by the MDU and brake assembly which can interfere
with  the  operation  of  the  torque  sensor.  Make  certain  that
the  Electromagnetic  Shield  is  reinstalled  before  operating
the lift truck after servicing to prevent erratic operation of
the power assist steering function.

POWER ASSIST STEERING

The  following  calibration  instructions  apply  to  all  power
assist steering models.

  WARNING 

If  at  any  time  a  tiller  handle  slowly  moves  in  one
direction  during  startup,  it  is  likely  calibration
needs to be performed.

Power assist steering calibration should be performed if ei-
ther the torque sensor or power assist steering unit is serv-
iced or replaced or anytime the drive tire is replaced.

1. 

Position  the  lift  truck  on  a  normal,  smooth  surface
floor away from personnel or other equipment with the
drive tire centered.

2. 

Turn  the  key  switch  to  the 

OFF

  position  and  remove

the drive unit compartment cover.

3. 

The Calibration Tab is an unconnected wire with a fe-
male spade connector hanging near the ETACC CAN
connector. Attach the Calibration Tab to the B+ termi-
nal  (right  post)  of  the  contactor,  using  a
914 mm (36 in.) 14 Ga. jumper wire with an alligator
clip  on  one  end  and  a  male  spade  connector  on  the
other.

NOTE:  

If the lift truck is not equipped with coast control,

wedge  a  deep  well  socket  or  50  mm  (2.00  in.)  by
20  mm  (0.75  in.)  wood  block  into  the  control  arm/swivel
joint area to hold the handle in an operating position.

4. 

Position the control arm in the brake 

OFF

 position and

secure using the coast control. See Figure 4.

5. 

Standing clear of the steer handle, turn the key switch
to the 

ON

 position.
