Most parts of this hydraulic valve move mechanically.

When the operator moves the control levers (1 through 4),
the spool valve moves up and down. This supplies and
returns high pressure oil to the corresponding hydraulic
cylinders. For detailed structure and operation, and
disassembly and reassembly, refer to the “Control Valve”
section (pages 12-39 to 12-53).

Down Safety Valve

When in normal condition

Broken area

When piping is broken

204971

The down safety valve is located at the bottom of the right

lift cylinder.
This valve is a safety valve which, if the piping between
the lift cylinder and flow regulator valve is broken, the
down safety valve regulates the flow of oil to prevent the
forks from falling down or moving too quickly. Also if the
flow of return oil from the lift cylinder becomes excessive
due to a misadjusted regulator valve or a fault of another
component, the down safety valve will regulate the flow of
oil to prevent the forks from falling down or moving too
quickly.

(5) Be careful not to damage the lip of the shaft seal by the
spline edges of drive gear 5.
(6) Tighten the bolts evenly and progressively.
(7) The pump is assembled properly if the pipe wrench
fitted on the pump shaft can be turned easily by hand.

Test operation
Perform test operation after installing the pump.
(1) Check that the oil amount in the hydraulic tank is
sufficient.
(2) Attach a pressure gauge to the pump delivery hose.
Refer to page 12-30 “Main Relief Valve.”
(3) Start the engine, turn the adjusting screw of the main
relief valve in sequence from 0 to 18.1 MPa (0 to 185
kgf/cm2) [0 to 2625 psi], and check the temperature rise
of the pump body by touching it by hand. If the
temperature rise of the pump body is substantial
compared to the oil temperature rise, disassemble again
for checking.
(4) Set the relief valve to the specified pressure.
(5) Measure the lifting speed of the forks under no load. If
the speed is to the specified value, the pump discharge
volume is normal.
(6) Check that the forks operate normally by raising and
lowering them under a load.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Suggestions for Disassembly

Removing bushing
(1) Wrap the cylinder with a rag, and clamp it in a vise.
Using a wrench, remove the bushing from the cylinder.
(2) When removing the bushing from the piston rod, be
careful not to cause damage to the buffer ring, packing,
O-ring against the threads of the piston rod.

200351
Inspection after disassembly

1. Cylinder tube
(1) Check the bore wall for wear, grooving, scratch marks
and rusting.
(2) Check the welds for cracks.

2. Piston rod
Check for surface flaws such as grooving, scratch marks,
rusting and wear. The rod must be replaced if its threads
show a sign of stripping or any other damage.

3. Rings and packing

(1) Check each ring and packing for damage or distortion.
(2) Also check for deterioration due to aging.

Precautions for reassembly of lift and tilt cylinders

(1) Carefully clean all parts to remove any foreign particle.
(2) Reassemble the cylinder in the reverse sequence of the
disassembling, apply hydraulic oil to the bore wall of
the cylinder tube, and also to sealing parts – O-rings,
piston seals, dust seals and packings. Pay attention to
the correct part arrangement.
(3) When clamping the cylinder tube in the vise , be
careful not to distort the tube.
200352
(4) Install the piston seal as follow:
(a) Before fitting the piston seal, squeeze it by hand
five or six times to soften it.
(b) Hold the piston in a vise, taking care not to damage
any part of the piston. Apply a thin coat of
hydraulic oil to the seal. Fit a portion of the seal to
the groove, and push the other portion into the
groove as shown.
(5) Tighten the thread to the specified torque. Refer to the
previous page for the torque.

Inspection and Adjustment

Hydraulic tank

1. Daily check of oil

Check oil for level, dirt and white turbidity (entry of air, mixing of water).

2. Refill capacities and the amount of oil required

210744A

(1) How to read the chart (example)

1 ton class: In the truck equipped with a TRIPLEX 5.5 m (18 ft) mast, maintain the oil level at “N” mark on the
level gauge with the mast lowered to the bottom. In the case of 6.0 to 7.0 m (19.7 to 23 ft) masts,
maintain the level at “H” mark with the mast lowered to the bottom.
(2) Another general rules
In any machine, regardless of the mast-and-attachment combination, the oil level should not be above “H” mark
on the level gauge when the mast is at the bottom. In addition, the oil level must be 5 mm (0.12 in.) from the
bottom end of the gauge or higher when the mast is at the top.

3. Inspection of suction strainer

Check the suction strainer for damage and clogging. Clean it if it is dirty.

4. Inspection of return filter

Check the return filter for damage. As this part needs periodic replacement, replace it when the replacement interval
is reached.
Refer to page 12-28 “Removal and Installation of Suction Strainer and Return Filter.”

Control Valve

1. External leakage
(1) Check for oil leaks from the joint between adjacent
valve housings sealed by O-ring.
(2) Check for oil leaks from the screw connections.
2. Internal leakage
3° to 4°
It is not practical to check the control valve alone for
internal leakage. How to check the control valve in place
(under normal operating conditions) will be described.
The internal leakage to be checked includes leakages
occurring at the lift spool, tilt spool, tilt lock valve and
check valves at the oil temperature of approximately 50°C
(122°F).
(1) Pick up a load equal to the rated capacity, and lift it
approximately 1 m (3 ft) high. Tilt the mast about 3° to 1 m (3 ft),
approx.
4° forward, and stop the engine.
(2) Quickly disconnect the oil return hose, and start 205879
collecting the oil coming out of this hose as shown.

Amount of oil collected for 20 cc (1.2 cu in.)

15 minutes or less

(3) If the lift cylinders or tilt cylinders drift (the mast tilts
forward or the fork lowers) excessively in spite of that
the amount of oil collected for 15 minutes is less than
20 cc (1.2 cu in.), measure the internal leakage of each
cylinder. (The measurement is the assembly standard
and not the service limit.)
3. Main Relief Valve
(1) Install a pressure gauge capable of measuring up to
25000 kPa (250 kgf/cm 2) [3555 psi] to the delivery 209775
hose connector. Use the gauge, connectors and hose
used for testing the gear pump.
(2) Start the engine and run it at the maximum speed. Move Pressure gauge
the tilt control lever to the backward tilt position. If the
+ 490 +5
pressure is relieved at 18142 0 kPa (185 0 kgf/cm2)
+ 71
[2631 0 psi] when the tilt cylinders reach the end of
their stroke, the main relief valve setting is correct.
(3) If the setting is incorrect, loosen the lock nut of the
adjusting screw and, while observing the pressure R 1/8
gauge reading, slowly rotate the adjusting screw until
the gauge indicates the prescribed set value.
(4) While holding the adjusting screw, tighten the lock nut
to secure the adjusting screw.
(5) After securing the adjusting screw, recheck the setting.

25000 kPa (250 kgf/cm 2 ) [3555 psi] to the pump
delivery hose connector (illustration on the right).
(2) Set the control lever to neutral.
(3) Start the engine and run it at medium speed. Turn the
steering wheel to the extreme right or left to relieve oil G 1/8
in the steering system. The relief pressure must be
within the range in the table below.
(4) If the relief pressure is outside the range, remove the
cap and turn the adjusting screw for adjustment.
(5) If the pressure is correct, tighten the lock nut and check Pump delivery hose

The above illustration shows the unloader valve when the

engine stops.
When the seat switch is “open”, solenoid valve 1 is open
and pilot oil in the back of valve 2 is connected to the T1
passage. Therefore, oil in the parallel feeder (high-pressure
line) lightly pushes up valve 2, flowing to the T1 port.
Since hydraulic pressure cannot be held, the cylinder
cannot be moved even if the valve operating lever is
moved.
When an operator sits on the seat, the seat switch is turned
ON, actuating solenoid valve 1 to block the pilot passage.
Thus, the parallel feeder can hold oil pressure. This valve
is a safety valve.

Reassembly
To reassemble, follow the reverse of disassembly sequence,
and do the following steps:
(1) Clean disassembled parts with an appropriate solvent.
Remove foreign matters with compressed air.
(2) Apply hydraulic oil to all parts.
Tie bolt
(3) Replace O-rings.
(4) Tighten tie bolts.
Tighten tie bolts evenly. Tightening them unevenly or
to inadequate torque can distort the valve body,
resulting in unsmooth movement of the spool.
(5) Install component valves after appropriate valve bodies
are installed with tie bolts.
(6) Check that the spools slide smoothly.
NOTICE: The valve body and spool have been lapped as a
set. Do not change the combination. When
209781
either one of the two becomes necessary to
replace, replace them together as an assembly.
