3. Before the installation
3.1 Capacity of the forklift truck
The RCS Hy-Q-52 can be installed on forklift trucks with a capacity of maximum 99 ton.
Before you start the installation, check the following points on the forklift truck:
3.2 Maximum pressure in the hydraulic system
The RCS Hy-Q-52 will operate optimally at an oil pressure up to 350 bar.
3.3 Battery voltage of the forklift truck
The most common voltages for forklift trucks are 12, 24, 48 and 80 VDC. The RCS Hy-Q-52
operates on 12 Vdc and always has a DC-DC power converter built in, which allows 9-100 V
DC input.
3.4 Making the hydraulic system pressure free
Before installation of the RCS Hy-Q-52 the hydraulic system of the forklift truck must be
pressure free. There are two ways to do this:
Option 1: Place the forks on the ground in their lowest position and make the hydraulic system
pressure free, by tilting the mast forwards. Be sure the chain is slack!
Option 2: Lift the forks and position them on top of a supporting surface. Make the hydraulic
system pressure free, by lowering the lifting cylinder into its lowest position. Be sure
the chain is slack!
