SECTION 2OPERATION

2-1. GENERAL.

This section gives detailed instructions for the PTW 40lift truck. Information is applicable to resistor and tran-sistor trucks, in 24 volt configurations. The instructionsare divided into the various phases of operations, suchas operating lift, driving, and stopping. Routine pre-cautions are included for safe operation.

2-2. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS.

WARNING: Improper operation of the lift truck mayresult in operator injury, or load and/or lifttruck damage. Observe the followingprecautions when operating the PTW lifttruck.

1. Do not operate this truck unless you have beentrained and authorized to do so and have read allwarnings and instructions in this manual and onthe truck.

2. Do not operate this truck until you have checkedits condition. Give special attention to Tires, Horn,Battery, Controller, Lift System, Brakes, SteeringMechanism, Guards and Safety Devices.

3. Operate truck only from designated operationposition. Wear foot protection. Do not carry pas-sengers.

4. Observe applicable traffic regulations. Yield rightof way to pedestrians. Slow down and sound hornat cross aisles and wherever vision is obstructed.

5. Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slowdown for turns and on uneven or slippery surfacesthat could cause truck to slide or overturn. Usespecial care when traveling without load as therisk of overturn may be greater.

6. Always look in direction of travel. Keep a clearview, and when load interferes with visibility, travelwith load or lifting mechanism trailing.

7. Use special care when operating on ramps-travelslowly, and do not angle or turn. Travel with liftingmechanism or load downhill.

8. Do not overload truck. Check capacity plate forload weight and load center information.

9. Before lifting, be sure load is centered, forks arecompletely under load, and load is as far back aspossible against load backrest.

10. Do not handle loads which are higher than theload backrest unless load is secured so that nopart of it could fall backward.

11. When leaving truck, neutralize travel control. Fullylower lifting mechanism and set brake. Whenleaving truck unattended, disconnect battery.

2-3. GENERAL CONTROL OPERATION.

The speed control (See Figure 2-1) located on eachside of the control head provides fingertip control fordriving the truck. As the lower portion of the speedcontrol is pressed, it closes contacts for first speed inthe forward direction. Pressing the speed control far-ther closes a contact for second speed and farther,third speed. The upper portion of the speed controlgoverns the reverse speeds in the same manner.Pushbutton switches, located behind the belly buttonswitch guard, activate the lift-lower controls and thehorn.

Lowering the steering arm to the horizontal or raisingto the vertical applies the brake. (See Figure 2-2) Alltraction control power is shut off when the brake isengaged. When the steering arm is in the upright posi-tion, the brake acts as a parking brake. Deadmanbraking occurs when the handle is released and springaction raises it to the upright position.

2-4. DRIVING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES.

1. Grasp the grips of the steering arm so that thespeed control can be comfortably operated byeither thumb. If equipped, turn on the key switch.

2. Lower the steering arm to a comfortable positionabove horizontal to disengage the brake and toenergize the electrical circuits.

3. To move forward (with load trailing), slowly pressthe lower portion of the speed control. Press theforward speed control farther to increase speed.Third speed may be cut out by use of the highspeed cut out switch (optional on transistor lifttrucks).

4. To stop, release the speed control and lower thesteering arm to the horizontal position. In thisposition, the brake pads apply pressure to thebrake disc. Lowering the steering arm farther,increases the braking force. The brake may alsobe applied by raising the steering arm to theupright position.

NOTE: Procedures for movement in reverse are thesame as in the forward direction.

5. To travel in reverse, lower steering arm to a com-fortable position above horizontal and slowlypress upper portion of speed control.

2-5. BELLY-BUTTON SWITCH. (Figure 2-1)

The belly-button switch minimizes the possibility of thedriver being pinned by the steering arm while drivingthe lift truck in slow speed, forward. If the guardpresses against the operator while the lift truck isbeing driven in forward, the guard actuates a switchwhich changes the direction of the lift truck to reversedirection in low speed.

2-6. STEERING ARM RETURN SPRING.

The steering arm return spring automatically raisesthe steering arm to the upright position when thesteering arm is released. If the steering arm snaps upabruptly, or does not return fully, the steering armreturn spring requires adjustment. Return truck tomaintenance for adjustment.

2-7. LIFT AND LOWER CONTROLS.

Lift/Lower Control buttons are located on the steeringcontrol head, behind the belly button switch guard.(Figure 2-1)

To lift forks, push in LIFT button and hold until forksreach desired height. To lower forks, push in LOWERbutton and hold until forks descend to desired height.

2-8. LOADING AND UNLOADING.

1. Move truck to location where load is to be pickedup.

2. Move truck into position so forks are within palletor skid, and the load is centered over the forksand 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 andthe forks are free.

7. Slowly move the truck straight backward, usingthe FORWARD speed control, to remove forksfrom pallet.

2-9. PARKING.

When finished with moving loads, drive truck to itsmaintenance or storage area. If equipped, turn off thekey switch. Disconnect batteries from TO DRIVEreceptacle and connect to the TO CHARGE recepta-cle. Charge batteries as necessary. Refer to batterycare instructions, paragraph 3-4.

SECTION 4ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR

4-1. GENERAL.

This section contains information and procedures formaintenance of the PTW lift trucks. Maintenanceincludes adjustment, and repair.

This section contains illustrations identifying mainte-nance parts. The callouts on each illustration corre-spond to the reference index numbers in theapplicable text.

Parts listings are provided in SECTION 7 of this man-ual. The part list provides the Big Joe ManufacturingCompany part number, the part description, and thequantity of the part required in the assembly.

When identifying each part to be ordered, visuallycompare the part in the illustration with the actual partneeded. To assure proper identification of each partbeing ordered, include your truck model number, yourtruck serial number (see nameplate), the part numberdescription, and quantity of the part(s) needed. If thenameplate becomes lost or illegible, refer to Figure 1-1for other serial number locations.

4-2. PART NUMBER IDENTIFICATION.

To determine the part number of a replacement part,identify the assembly in which the part is used andlocate the illustration (in SECTION 7) of the applicableassembly. Find the index number for the part on theillustration and refer to that index number in the partslist. If the part number is NP, order the next higherassembly. If the part number is VAR, order by partname with truck model number and serial number.

If the part is listed with more than one part number,select the proper part number by comparing thedescription in the parts list with the specifications ofyour truck. Refer to the nameplate to determine appli-cation to your truck.

4-3. STEERING ARM AND CONTROL HEAD.

4-3.1. Belly-Button Switch Adjustment.

If the actuator gap of the belly-button switch needsadjustment, proceed as follows (Figure 4-1):

1. Disconnect the battery.

2. Drive out the roll pins that secure the belly-buttoncasting (Figure 4-1). Drive from the left to theright.

NOTE: While removing the belly-button casting, thetwo return springs will drop free. Catch thesprings while pulling the casting away to pre-vent their loss. Resistor lift trucks have onebelly-button switch, transistor trucks have astack of three.

3. Bend actuator levers of belly-button switch(es) toadjust gap between rollers and belly-button cast-ing as required (See Figure 4-1).

CAUTION: If too small a gap exists between belly-button switch actuator rollers and thebelly-button casting, the belly-buttonswitch(es) may be actuated constantly.

4. Reinstall belly-button casting, making certain allparts are back in place.

5. Check operation of the belly-button safetyswitch(es) by pressing the belly-button castingwhile listening for the "click" that indicates that theswitch(es) have actuated.

NOTE: The click should be heard when the belly-but-ton casting has moved about 50 percent of itsnormal travel distance. If the click is heard atthe beginning of travel, the switch(es) mayactuate at inappropriate times. If the click isheard near the end of travel, they could beunreliable and may not switch in someinstances.

6. Repeat steps 2. through 5. until pressing thebelly-button casting actuates the switch(es) prop-erly.

7. Reconnect the battery.

WARNING: Testing of belly-button safety switch(es)in operation should be limited to areasclear of obstacles against which an oper-ator could be pinned. Use low speed inforward.

4-3.2. Potentiometer Testing and Adjustment(Transistor Units Only).

1. Disconnect the battery

2. Remove screws (20 and 64, Figure 4-3) andaccess covers (40 and 66).

6-2. CONTACTOR AND SWITCH TROUBLESHOOT-ING.

If the truck does not run in one of the modes (Exam-ple: truck runs in forward speed, but not in reverse),the following tests can be performed to determinewhether the problem is in the switches or the contactorunit itself.

6-2.1. Contactor Testing.

1. Make certain battery is in good condition and fullycharged before beginning tests.

2. Disconnect the battery and place strips of card-board between the contactor tips to prevent cur-rent from flowing during the test.

3. Reconnect the battery.

4. Place the VOM test meter on the 50V scale andconnect the test probes to the (+) and (-) coil con-nections of the suspect contactor (Figure 6-1).

NOTE: Testing of the reverse contactor is shown inFigure 6-1.

5. If the truck is equipped with a keyswitch, turn it onand place the steering control in the run position(brake off) and depress the speed control.

6. Voltage should read 24 volts, as applicable. If volt-age does not read 24 volts, the problem is in theswitches or wiring leading to the contactor unit.(See Paragraph 6-2.2. for switch testing.) If 24

volts is present, the problem is in the contactorunit, and the contactor must be disassembled anddefective parts replaced.

6-2.2. Switch Testing.

1. Disconnect the battery.

2. Set the VOM test meter on the RX1 scale.

3. Resistor Trucks: Connect the meter test probesto the common #3 (#11 for pushbutton switches)and the suspect switch lead* at the terminal con-nector.

Transistor Trucks: Connect the meter testprobes to the common #3 (#10 for push buttonswitches) and the suspect switch lead * at the ter-minal connector.

*NOTE: #2 switch lead for the reverse switch (transis-tor trucks) is shown in Figure 6-2.

4. If the truck is equipped with a keyswitch, turn it onand lower the control handle to the driving posi-tion and depress the suspect switch.

5. Resistance should read zero ohms, (or a smallamount of ohms).

6. If resistance is present (10 ohms or more), theswitch or wiring leading to the connector is defec-tive and must be repaired or replaced.

Truck moves forward when arm is pulled down.

a. Belly-button switch defective. Check for short, and repair or replace as necessary.

b. Short in control head. Check wiring and repair as required.

Steering arm jerks exces-sively starting or stopping the truck.

a. Worn steering arm pivot bush-ings.

Replace bushings if difference between ID of pivot bushings (5, Figure 4-9) and OD of pivot tube (7) exceeds 1/32 inch.

b. Drive wheel worn. Replace drive wheel if worn to within 3/8 inch of hub.

Drive motor is jerky. Motor commutator damaged. Replace motor.

6-3. TRANSISTOR CONTROLLER TROUBLE-SHOOTING.

Refer to wiring diagrams included in SECTION 4 forcomplete wiring diagram for this truck. Refer to thesediagrams and the schematic for tracing of electrical cir-cuits during troubleshooting and testing procedures.

6-3.1. Circuit Operation.

While operation of the transistorized control system istransparent to the operator, it is helpful to understandthe operating principles and features of the transistorcontroller when troubleshooting trucks equipped withthis controller. The controller is mounted on the con-tactor electrical panel, installed within the main hous-ing of the lift truck. Figure 6-3 identifies the contacts ofa typical controller.

1. Smooth stepless operation.

The Big Joe custom transistor controller allowssuperior operator control of the vehicle's drivemotor speed. The amount of current delivered tothe motor is set by varying the "on" time (dutycycle) of the controller's MOSFET transistors.This technique, called "pulse width modulation"(PWM), permits silent, stepless operation.

2. Current multiplication

During acceleration and during reduced speedoperation, the controller allows more current toflow into the motor than flows out of the battery.The controller acts like a dc transformer, taking inlow current and high voltage (the full battery volt-age) and putting out high current and low voltage.The battery only has to supply a fraction of thecurrent that would be required by a conventionalcontroller (in which the battery current and motorcurrent are always equal). The current multiplica-tion feature gives vehicles using these controllersdramatically greater driving range per batterycharge.

3. Acceleration limiting

A built-in acceleration limiting circuit maintains amaximum rate of power increase to the motor. Iffull throttle is applied at start-up, the accelerationramp setting determines how quickly the output ofthe controller increases. The standard setting issuch that with full throttle applied, the controllerrequires approximately one second to reach fulloutput. This feature contributes to smooth, gentle

starts. (See adjustment instructions to adjustacceleration ramp setting.)

4. Current limiting

The transistor controllers limit the motor current toa preset maximum. This feature protects the con-troller from damage that might result if the currentwere limited only by the motor demand. The cur-rent limit feature also protects the rest of the sys-tem. By eliminating high current surges duringvehicle acceleration, the stresses on the motorand batteries are reduced and their efficiency andservice life are improved. Similarly, there is lesswear and tear on the vehicle drivetrain, as well ason the ground on which the vehicle rides (animportant consideration with golf courses and ten-nis courts, for example).

The maximum motor current can be factory-set toa lower value than the standard maximum ifrequested. For further flexibility, the current limitsetting on some models is field-adjustable. (Seeadjustment instructions.)

5. Plugging

A form of electrical braking called plugging can beused to slow the vehicle. When the motor isreversed with the accelerator advanced (i.e.,when the vehicle is moving), the armature acts asa generator. current from the armature flowsthrough a plug diode in the controller. The control-ler regulates the current in the motor field windingto give an appropriate level of plugging torque.The vehicle slows smoothly to a stop, then auto-matically accelerates in the other direction. A1 kHz tone may be heard during plugging. Themaximum plugging current is factory set per cus-tomer requirements, and is also field adjustable(see adjustment instructions).

6. Undervoltage protection

The control circuitry requires a minimum batteryvoltage to function properly. The controller istherefore designed so its output is graduallyreduced if the battery voltage falls below a certainlevel; the cutoff voltage for the various models islisted in the specifications (See Table 6-1 andTable 6-2). Reducing the output to the motorallows the battery voltage to recover, and an equi-librium is established in which the battery suppliesas much current as it can without falling below thecutoff voltage.

7. Overvoltage protection

Similarly, the controller has a means of preventingoperation when battery voltages are too high forproper functioning. Excess voltage can occur froman unregulated battery charger or from improperor faulty wiring.

8. Thermal protection

Because they are well designed thermally, thecontrollers barely get warm in normal operation.Overheating can occur, however, if the controlleris undersized for its application or otherwise over-loaded. If the internal temperature of the controllerexceeds 165°F, the current limit drops off steadilyuntil it is reduced to zero at 200°F. This allows thevehicle to be operated at a reduced performancelevel in order to permit maneuvering out of theway and stopping in a good place. After the con-troller cools down, full current limit and perfor-mance return automatically. Although this actionis not damaging to the controller, it does suggesta mismatch. If thermal cutback occurs often innormal vehicle operation, the controller is proba-bly undersized for the application, and a highercurrent model should be used. The controllershifts frequency during overtemperature from itsnormal 15 kHz to 1 kHz, providing an audible tonealerting the operator to the overtemperature con-dition.

The controller is also protected from undertem-perature. Should its internal temperature fallbelow -25°C (from being parked overnight in anicehouse, for example), the current limit will be 1/3the maximum. Once the controller warms above -25°C, full current limit and performance returnautomatically.

9. Accelerator fault protection (runaway protection)

To prevent uncontrolled operation the controllershuts off the motor output in the event of a shortcircuit fault in the accelerator or its wiring. Thethrottle configuration is a 2-wire potentiometerranging from 5000 ohms for full off to 0 ohms forfull on. The controller returns to normal operationwhen the fault (e.g., accelerator wiring, brokenconnectors, potentiometers that fail or are set tostart at 0) has been corrected.

10. Controller fault protection (Prior to SerialNumber 373234)

Faults can be caused internally (e.g., shortedtransistors) or externally (e.g., wrench or hard-ware dropped across controller terminals). Whiledisabled, the controller's direction contactor out-put and internal logic are both off.

Faults are detected by monitoring the controller'sM-output. If M-remains low for more than 20 ms, afault is detected. Fault protection is disabled forthrottle demand greater than 80%

To recover from a fault, the F/R switch must beturned off and back on again. If the fault has beencorrected, the controller will turn back on.

11. Fault Detection (Serial Number 373234 To376836)

An internal microcontroller automatically main-tains surveillance over the functioning of the con-troller. When a fault is detected, the appropriatefault code is signaled via the LED, externally visi-ble on the side of controller (See Figure 7-23 forLED location on controller). The diagnostic codesflashed by the LED are listed in Table 6-4.

If the fault is critical, the controller is disabled.More typically, the fault is a remediable condition -for example, an undervoltage fault is clearedwhen the condition is removed.

The automatic fault detection system includes:

contactor coil open / shorted driver (F/R andshunt contractor)

contactor driver overcurrent / contactor coilshort

contactor welded

emergency reverse circuit check

M- output fault

memory checks upon start-up

overvoltage cutback

power supply out of range (internal)

throttle fault

undervoltage cutback

watchdog (external and internal)

a. Hand Held Programmer.

A hand held programmer is available that isdesigned specifically for use with the control-ler. It serves dual functions of reading diag-nostic data provided by the controller andadjusting certain performance values of thecontroller. The programmer (Part Number005472-02) is available through your Big Joedealer. If you require dealer location informa-tion contact Big Joe Manufacturing Co.phone number 847-298-9800.

b. Fault Recording.

Fault events are recorded in the controller'smemory. Multiple occurrences of the samefault are recorded as one occurrence.

The fault event list can be loaded into the pro-grammer for readout. The Special Diagnos-tics mode provides access to the controller'sdiagnostic history file - the entire fault eventlist created since the diagnostic history filewas last cleared. The Diagnostics mode, onthe other hand, provides information aboutonly the currently active faults.

c. Fault Recovery (including recovery fromdisable).

Almost all faults require a cycling of the KSIor brake input to reset the controller andenable operation. The only exceptions areshown in Table 6-3.

12. Weather resistance

All controllers are housed in rugged epoxy-sealed, anodized aluminum extrusions that pro-vide excellent environmental protection.

13. Emergency reverse: enhanced plugging current

Emergency reverse (or "belly button") switchescan be mounted on the handles of walkie vehi-cles. The emergency reverse switch is wired tothe controller and other vehicle electronics in sucha way that if the button is pressed against theoperator by the advancing vehicle, the controllerenables enhanced plugging current to stop thevehicle quickly and revere its direction.

Table 6-3. Fault Recovery Exceptions.

14. Arcless F/R and bypass contactor switching

Each time the F/R switch passes through neutral,the controller's output is rapidly turned off (even ifthe throttle is held on) so that all motor currenthas stopped by the time the direction contactordrops out. Controller output always starts at zeroand increases smoothly at the set accelerationrate each time a new direction is selected. Bypasscontactor operation is also arcless, when inter-rupting currents less than the controller's currentlimit.

15. High pedal disable (HPD)

When the controller (KSI) is turned on, it willsense a “high” (advanced accelerator and willinhibit the output until the accelerator is releasedand reapplied. By preventing the unit KSI frombeing turned on with the throttle depressed, thissafety feature (also called Neutral Start) requiredthe truck to start smoothly from zero throttle whenthe battery is plugged in. It also protects againstsudden starts caused when problems in the throt-tle linkage (e.g., bent parts, broken return sprint)give a partial or full throttle signal to the controllereven with the accelerator released when the bat-tery is plugged in.

6-3.2. General Checkout (Serial Number 373234 To376836).

Carefully complete the following checkout procedure. Ifyou find a problem during the checkout, refer to Para-graph 6-3.4. for further information.

The checkout can be conducted with or without thehandheld programmer (See Paragraph a.). The check-out procedure is easier with a programmer. Otherwise,observe LED for codes.

CAUTION: Put the vehicle up on blocks to get thedrive wheel off the ground before begin-ning these tests.

Turn the keyswitch off and make sure thatthe brake is applied (brake switch open),the throttle is in neutral, and the forward/reverse switches are open.

Do not stand, or allow anyone else tostand, directly in front of or behind thevehicle during the tests.

1. If a programmer is available, connect it to the pro-grammer connector.

2. Turn the keyswitch on. The programmer should"power up" with an initial display, and the control-ler's Status LED should begin steadily blinking asingle flash. If neither happens, check for continu-ity in the keyswitch circuit and controller ground.

3. If you are using a programmer, put it into the diag-nostic mode by pressing the "DIAGNOSTICS"key. The display should indicate "No KnownFaults."

Release the brake by pulling down the control arminto the operating position. The LED should con-tinue blinking a single flash and the programmershould continue to indicate no faults. If there is aproblem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code andthe programmer will display a diagnostic mes-sage. If you are conducting the checkout without aprogrammer, look up the LED diagnostic code inTable 6-4.

When the problem has been corrected, it may benecessary to cycle the brake in order to clear thefault code.

4. With the brake released, select a direction andoperate the throttle. The motor should begin toturn in the selected direction. If it does not, verifythe wiring to the forward/reverse switches, for-ward/reverse contactors, and motor. The motorshould run proportionally faster with increasingthrottle. If not, refer to Paragraph 6-3.4.

5. If you are using a programmer, put it into the testmode by pressing the "TEST" key. Scroll down toobserve the status of the forward, reverse, brake,emergency reverse, and mode switches. Cycleeach switch in turn, observing the programmer.

Each input should show the correct state on theprogrammer.

6. Check the controller's fault detection circuitry asdescribed in paragraph 6-3.10.

7. Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in aclear area. It should have smooth accelerationand good top speed.

8. Test the plug braking of the vehicle. Verify that theplug braking option is as desired (variable orfixed).

9. Verify that all options, such as high pedal disable(HPD), static return to off (SRO), and anti-tiedown, are as desired.

10. Check to see whether the emergency reverse(belly button) feature is working correctly. Verifythat the circuit is operational by momentarily dis-connecting one of the emergency reverse wires.The vehicle should be disabled and a fault indi-cated.

6-3.3. Troubleshooting (Prior To Serial Number373234).

The following procedures are to fix vehicles that don'toperate properly. Refer to wiring diagrams included inSECTION 4 when conducting these tests. Make surethe controller is hooked up as shown in Figure 6-3.Refer to the wiring diagram and schematic for yourvehicle. These tests require a general purpose voltohmmeter; you can use either a conventional "V-O-M"or an inexpensive digital voltmeter.

In general, when a problem has been isolated to thecontroller, remove and replace it. If the source of theproblem has not been determined or is suspected tobe within the truck (not the controller), proceed asdirected.

NOTE: Working on electric vehicles poses somedangers. You must protect yourself againstrunaways, high current arcs, and outgassingfrom lead acid batteries:

Runaways - Some fault conditions couldcause the vehicle to run out of control. Wesuggest that you jack up the vehicle and getthe drive wheels off the ground beforeattempting these procedures or any otherwork on the motor control circuitry.

High current arcs - electric vehicle batteriescan supply very high power for short times. if

6-10 PTW1104

Page 69: PTW-40 SERIES - Big Lift, LLC Support Site for Big Joe ... · Big Joe Manufacturing Company • Des Plaines, IL 60018 MANUAL NO. 901354 REV. A 1104 Manual Price $35.00 PTW-40 SERIES

they are accidentally short circuited, arcs canoccur. Always open the battery circuit beforedoing work on the motor control circuit. Wearsafety glasses and use properly insulatedwrenches to prevent accidental shorts.

Lead acid batteries - Charging or discharg-ing batteries generates hydrogen gas, whichcan build up in and around the batteries.Always follow the battery manufacturer's rec-ommendations when working around batter-ies. Wear safety glasses.

1. Check for Power to the Controller

a. Leave the keyswitch off for these tests (iftruck is so equipped).

b. Verify that battery (-) connects to the B- ter-minal of the controller. connect voltmeter (-)lead to this point.

c. Connect voltmeter (+) to the battery side ofthe power fuse. Check for full battery voltage.If it is not there, the trouble is in the batterypack or the cables to it.

d. Connect the voltmeter (+) lead to the control-ler B+ terminal. You should read full batteryvoltage. If this voltage is zero or close to zero,the trouble is either a bad controller, a badpower fuse, or an incorrectly connectedcable. Trace the cable to make sure it ishooked up right. If these check out, the con-troller is malfunctioning.

2. Check for Contactor Operation and KeyswitchInput (KSI)

a. Turn the key on and move the accelerator inforward or reverse, until the microswitch oper-ates.

b. This should cause the main contactor tooperate with an audible click. Connect thevoltmeter across the contactor coil terminal.You should see full battery voltage.

c. The controller KSI terminal (top push on)should also be getting full battery voltage.Verify this with the voltmeter. Connect thevoltmeter (-) to the controller B- terminal, andthe voltmeter (+) to the controller's KSI termi-nal.

d. If the contactor and KSI terminal are not get-ting voltage, that's the problem. Use the volt-meter to find out where it is not gettingthrough. Connect the voltmeter (-) to the con-

troller's B- terminal and check the followingpoints with the voltmeter (+) lead to trace theflow:

(1) First, check both sides of the control wir-ing fuse.

(2) Check both sides of the keyswitch (iftruck is so equipped).

(3) Check both sides of the acceleratormicroswitch.

(4) Finally, check the contactor coil and con-troller KSI.

e. If the contactor coil and KSI are getting volt-age, make sure that the contactor is reallyworking, by connecting the voltmeter acrossits big terminals. There should be no measur-able voltage drop. If you see any at all, thecontactor is bad.

3. Check Potentiometer Circuitry

The following procedure applies to the basicaccelerator input configuration for these control-lers, which is a nominal 5000 ohm potentiometerconnected as a two-wire rheostat (0 ohms = fullon, 5000 ohms = full off). Some controllers aresold with other input characteristics. If your instal-lation used one of these optional inputs, find outwhat its range is and use a procedure comparableto the one blow to make sure your accelerator isworking correctly.

a. With the forks lowered, the keyswitch off, andthe battery disconnected, pull off the connec-tors going to the accelerator inputs of thecontroller. connect an ohmmeter to the twowires and measure the resistance as youmove the accelerator. The resistance at thelimits should be within these ranges:

Accelerator at Start: 4300 ohms to 4800ohms

Accelerator at Maximum: 0 ohms to 50 ohms

b. If these resistances are wrong, it is becausethe potentiometer itself is faulty or out ofadjustment, the wires to the pot are broken ormisconnected, the linkage is not moving thepot shaft through its proper travel or a switch,resistor, or the relay is defective or incorrectlywired. (See wiring diagram.)

c. While you have the accelerator wires off thecontroller, use an ohmmeter to check forshorts between these wires and the vehicle

PTW1104 6-11

Page 70: PTW-40 SERIES - Big Lift, LLC Support Site for Big Joe ... · Big Joe Manufacturing Company • Des Plaines, IL 60018 MANUAL NO. 901354 REV. A 1104 Manual Price $35.00 PTW-40 SERIES

frame. You should see a resistance of at least10,000 ohms. If it is lower than that, inspectthe wiring for damaged insulation or contactwith the frame. If necessary, replace thepotentiometer.

d. Push the wires back on the controller termi-nals.

e. Inspect the terminal area of the controllerclosely. Occasionally a build-up of dirt or acidresidue of a conductive nature may causeelectrical leakage between the acceleratorinput terminals and the B- or M- terminals,leading to faulty accelerator operation. Tocheck for this problem, measure the voltageat the upper pot terminal (by connecting thevoltmeter (-) lead to the controller's B- termi-nal). The keyswitch must be on and a direc-tional switch engaged for this test.

Lower Terminal

Accelerator at Start: 2.7 volts

Accelerator at Maximum: 7.0 volts

Compare your readings with these; if they aredifferent by more than a few tenths of a volt,contamination is probably the trouble.

f. Carefully clean off the terminal area of thecontroller with a cotton swab or clean ragmoistened with water, and dry thoroughly.Now test the controller to see if proper opera-tion is restored. If so, you should take stepsto prevent this from happening again. Youmust keep dirt and water from reaching theterminal area of the controller.

4. Check for controller output

a. Disconnect the wire from the direction con-tactors to the F/R contactor output of the con-troller.

b. Connect the voltmeter (+) lead to the control-ler's B+ terminal. Connect the voltmeter (-)lead to the controller's M- terminal.

c. Connect the battery, turn on the keyswitch,move the accelerator in forward, and watchthe voltmeter as you advance the accelerator.The voltmeter should read zero with theaccelerator released, and should read fullbattery voltage with the accelerator at maxi-mum. If it does not, the controller is bad andmust be replaced. If the voltmeter readings

are appropriate, release the accelerator, turnoff the keyswitch, disconnect the battery, andreconnect the wire to the direction contac-tors.

d. The next step is to measure the current in thecontroller's M- lead. If you have a means ofmeasuring this high dc current, such as ashut/meter setup or a clamp-on dc ammeter,use it. If not, we recommend that you buy anammeter of the type that is simply heldagainst the wire being tested. these are avail-able for a low cost at auto parts stores.though the accuracy of these meters is notgreat, they are adequate for this test.

e. Connect the battery, turn the keyswitch on,move the accelerator in either forward orrevere, and watch the ammeter while advanc-ing the accelerator.

f. If you see no current flowing in the M- lead,the problem is an open circuit in the motor orthe wiring between the motor and the control-ler. Check the F/R switch. If your vehicle usescontactors for reversing, check to see thatthey are operating and that their contacts areclosing. If these are okay, check the motorarmature and field for opens.

g. If you do see a high current flowing in the M-lead, but the motor does not turn, the prob-lem is either a short in the motor circuit, amiswired motor, or a short in the controller'sinternal plug diode. Test the plug diode as fol-lows:

(1) Remove power by opening the batterycircuit. Take the cable off the controller'sA2 terminal.

(2) Use an ohmmeter to check the resis-tance between the controller's A2 and B+terminals. You are testing for the pres-ence of a diode inside the controller, soswap the two leads of the ohmmeter andlook for a low resistance one way and amuch higher one the other way. If yourmeter has a diode test function, use it.

(3) If you find the diode to be shorted, thecontroller is bad and needs to bereplaced.

h. Put the A2 cable back on the controller.

i. If the plug diode is OK, there is a short in themotor circuit. An ordinary ohmmeter will notwork to find the short, because the resis-

tances of the motor windings are so low. Testthe motor separately if it is suspected of hav-ing a shorted winding.

j. Verify all illustrated connections and compo-nentry (Chapter 4) within the truck. If allcheck out and the source of the problem stillhas not been found, replace the controller.

6-3.4. Diagnostics And Troubleshooting (Serial Number 373234 To 376836).

The controllers provide diagnostics information toassist in troubleshooting drive system problems. Thediagnostics information can be obtained in two ways:reading the appropriate display on the programmer orobserving the fault codes issued by the Status LED.The Status LED is located on side of the controller(See Figure 7-23 for location of LED on controller).

1. LED Diagnostics

During normal operation, with no faults present,the Status LED flashes a single flash at approxi-mately 1 flash/second. If the controller detects afault, a 2-digit fault identification code is flashedcontinuously until the fault is corrected. For exam-ple, code "3,2" - welded direction contactor -appears as:

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o(3,2) (3,2) (3,2)

The codes are listed in Table 6-4. For suggestionsabout possible causes of the various faults, refer toTable 5. Troubleshooting Chart.

Operational faults - such as overtemperature - arecleared as soon as operation is brought within range.Non-operational faults - such as a throttle fault - usu-ally require the brake or keyswitch to be cycled afterthe problem is remedied.

2. Programmer Diagnostics

With a programmer, diagnostics and troubleshoot-ing is more direct than with the LED alone. Theprogrammer presents complete diagnostic infor-mation in plain language - no code to decipher.Faults are displayed in the Diagnostic Menu, andthe status of the controller inputs/outputs is dis-played in the Test Menu.

The following 4-step process is generally used fordiagnosing and troubleshooting an inoperative vehicle:(1) visually inspect the vehicle for obvious problems;(2) diagnose the problem, using the programmer; (3)test the circuitry with the programmer; and (4) correctthe problem. Repeat the last three steps as necessaryuntil the vehicle is operational.

6-3.5. Adjustment of Controller Potentiometers(Prior To Serial Number 373234).

The controller has adjustable plug current, currentlimit, and acceleration rate settings. The locations ofthe adjustment pots are shown in Figure 6-4.

NOTE: Stop the truck and release the handle duringadjustment.

1. Remove the socket head screw (1/8" Allen) for theadjustment you want to make.

2. Adjust the internal potentiometer with a smallinsulated screwdriver, in order to provided thedesired performance for the identified characteris-tics.

3. Replace socket head screw and nylon sealwasher. Tighten to 8 inch-pounds maximum toprevent stripping.

6-3.6. Adjustment (Serial Number 373234 To376836).

To change a parameter using the programmer, pressthe "PROGRAM" key, and scroll down the ProgramMenu until the desired parameter is the top line of thedisplay. Press the appropriate "CHANGE VALUE" key("up" or "down") until the desired number is reached.The parameter is now set at the desired value. All pro-gramming occurs in real time. That is, the parametercan be changed while the vehicle is in operation.

Some parameters have dependencies on otherparameters. When the programmer is being used toadjust a parameter and a limit is reached, the displaywill stop changing. To see why the display has stoppedchanging, press the "MORE INFO" key. If the limit isrelated to another parameter, that information will bedisplayed; changing the value of the related parametermay allow the original parameter to be adjusted fur-ther. Otherwise, the display simply says "Max Limit" or"Min Limit".

6-3.7. Maintenance (Serial Number 373234 To376836)

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the control-lers. No attempt should be made to open the control-ler. Opening the controller may damage it and will voidthe warranty.

The transistor controller is programmed at the factoryspecifically for the truck model on which it is equipped.It is important to replace the controller with the correctpreprogrammed unit to assure proper performancesettings intended for that particular truck. See Figure7-23 for the preprogrammed controller number.

It is recommended that the controller exterior becleaned periodically, and if a handheld programmer isavailable, this periodic cleaning provides a goodopportunity to check the controller's diagnostic historyfile. It is also recommended that the controller's faultdetection circuitry be checked whenever the vehicle isserviced.

6-3.8. Cleaning (Serial Number 373234 To 376836)

1. Remove power by disconnecting the battery.

2. Discharge the capacitors in the controller by con-necting a load (such as a contactor coil or a horn)across the controller's B+ and B- terminals.

3. Remove any dirt or corrosion from the bus bararea. The controller should be wiped clean with amoist rag. Allow it to dry before reconnecting thebattery.

4. Make sure the connections to the bus bars aretight. Use two well insulated wrenches for thistask in order to avoid stressing the bus bars.

6-3.9. Diagnostic History (Serial Number 373234To 376836)

The handheld programmer can be used to access thecontroller's diagnostic history file. When the program-mer is connected to the unit, the error log file is auto-matically uploaded into the handheld programmer.

To see the present status of the unit, use the MenuNavigation Key to select:

Faults->System Faults.

To access this log, use the Menu Navigation Key toselect:

Faults->Fault History.

The faults are shown as a code and descriptive text. Ifthere are multiple faults, you have to scroll through thelist using the Up and Down Buttons on the Menu Navi-gation Key.

The faults may be intermittent faults, faults caused byloose wires, or faults caused by operator errors. Faultssuch as contactor faults may be the result of loosewires; contactor wiring should be carefully checkedout. Faults such as HPD or overtemperature may becaused by operator habits or by overloading.

After a problem has been diagnosed and corrected,clearing the diagnostic history file is advisable. Thisallows the controller to accumulate a new file of faults.By checking the new diagnostic history file at a laterdate, you can readily determine whether the problemwas indeed completely fixed.

To clear the diagnostic history file, select:Faults->Clear Fault History.

You will be asked to confirm your actions. Use theincrement arrow (+) for yes and decrement arrow (-) tocancel and not clear the Fault History.

6-3.10.Test the Fault Detection Circuitry (SerialNumber 373234 To 376836)

1. Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheeloff the ground.

2. Disconnect the battery and make sure the key-switch is off.

3. Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10 ampfuse and alligator clips, connect the controller's M-and B- terminals.

4. Turn the keyswitch on, release the brake andapply the throttle. The motor should not operate,and the direction contactors should not pull in.

5. Leave the keyswitch on and remove the inlinefuse wire. The vehicle status should continue toremain off.

6. Cycle the keyswitch off and on, release the brake,and apply the throttle. The vehicle should nowoperate normally.
