Hi All,
I hope someone can help me...
Truck details FOER 5.2s/1.5 PFL serial No. 80058056.
It's a 48V machine.
This belongs to a carpenter in a neighbouring unit. He helps me out and I'm trying to return the favour.
In the cold weather it runs ok but when it gets warm the main contactor (right hand side under the batteries) refuses to pull in. I've done a few basic checks and when the fault is present there is no ground on the contactor, the 48V feed is there. He called in a forktruck engineer who was reluctant to do much to it due to its age. All he suggested was to hit the side with a lump hammer! which sometimes does make it start. When it is going in hot weather my friend leaves it switched on until he's finished with it just in case it won't restart.
A wiring diagram will be a huge help as otherwise the only way forward for me is to open the loom up and follow the wire!
I'm an autoelectrician so I'm sure I can make this old girl go with some diagrams to work from.
Shaun.
