Fig. 10.39 Forklift Operating Components
10.7 SWITCHES
AND SOLENOIDS
10.7.1 Ignition (Key) Switch
By using the key, the ignition switch (5, Fig. 10.39)
may be turned clockwise from the OFF position to
the RUN, THERMO START AND START positions.
The THERMO START AND START positions are
spring-loaded to return to the RUN position and
must be manually held in place for cold starting or
normal starting. When starting in cold weather,
momentarily hold the key in the THERMO START
position before turning it fully to the START posi-
tion.
• In the OFF position, the entire electrical
system is shut down (there is power to
ignition switch and to starter solenoid only).
• In the RUN position, all controls and indica-
tors are operable.
1. Steering Wheel
2. Horn
3. Accelerator Pedal
4. Service Brake Pedal
5. Ignition (Key) Switch
• Cold cranking current (SAE SPEC J537h) is
525 A at 0 °F (–18 °C)
• For battery warranty contact your local Delco
distributor.
h. Battery Removal
1. Prepare to remove the battery(s) by unlocking
and opening door to battery compartment.
2. Disconnect the negative cable (2, 10.38) from
the batteries.
3. Disconnect positive cable (1) from batteries.
4. Remove the two self-locking nuts (3) from
below the cab floor and lift the spacers (4), hold
down strap (5) and bolts (6) from the battery
compartment.
5. Carefully lift the battery(s) from the battery
compartment.
i. Battery Inspection, Cleaning and Drying
1. Periodically look for any accumulation of dirt or
corrosion on top of the battery, corroded
terminals and cables, broken or loose terminal
posts, and container or cover that is broken or
cracked.
2. Scrub the exterior of the battery and cable
terminals by using a nonmetallic brush which
has been dipped in a mixture of baking soda
and water.
3. Dry the battery with a clean cloth.
4. Check the voltage regulator setting at every
periodic maintenance inspection. Overcharging
is a common cause of battery failure. The
voltage setting should be 13.6 to 13.8, and
never more than 14.0 V.
j. Battery Installation
1. Place batteries in battery compartment.
2. Install bolts (6, Fig. 10.38), spacers (4), hold
down strap (5), and two self-locking nuts (3).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Be sure hold-down
strap is properly attached to keep batteries
from bouncing. Vibration is very harmful to a
battery.
3. Connect positive (+) cable (1) to the batteries.
4. Connect negative (–) cable (2) to batteries.
5. Close and lock door to battery compartment.
