Before the installation
Before you start with the installation, check the forklift truck on the following points:
4.1. Capacity of the forklift truck
The RAVAS-SafeLoad can be installed on forklift trucks with a capacity of maximum 99 ton.
The load diagram can be followed for setting the different maximum capacities per height and load
position in parameter 005 of the weight parameter settings. (see page 27)
4.2. Maximum pressure in the hydraulic system
The RAVAS-SafeLoad will operate optimally at an oil pressure up to 350 bar.
4.3. Battery voltage of the forklift truck
The most common voltages for forklift trucks are 12, 24, 48 and 80 VDC. The RAVAS-SafeLoad
operates on 12 Vdc and can handle voltage differences between 9VDC and 18VDC. In cases where
the battery voltage is greater than 12 Vdc, the system requires a DC-DC power converter with an
output voltage of 12 Vdc.
The article number of this part is: EB-CON-RAVAS-SAFELOAD.
If other convertors are used the warranty of the indicator is no longer valid!
4.4. Making the hydraulic system pressure free
Before installation of the RAVAS-SafeLoad, 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!
