Caterpillar Forklift DP15N

(1) With the clearance A between the lining and drum set approximately to specification, pull the cable with spring with a finger as shown. The lever should turn the adjusting screw wheel by one notch and, when the cable is released, return to the original position.

(2) If the lever fails, or is slow, to turn the adjusting screw wheel, check the position of the lever relative to the toothed wheel. The lever’s actuating tip should touch the toothed wheel at approximately 7 to 9 mm (0.28 to 0.35 in.) below the centerline of the screw. If the lever contact is out of the range, the lever will not correctly engage with the toothed wheel, therefore failing or slow to turn the wheel.

(3) If the automatic adjuster fails to operate correctly, take the following actions.

(a) Ensure that the adjusting spring is correctly hooked to the primary shoe.

(d) Replace the adjusting screw.

Apply a tester to terminal 1 and terminal 2 and measure the resistance value of the relay coil. Replace the coil with a new one if there is no continuity or the resistance value measured is outside the standard resistance value.

1. Measure the insulation resistance value between terminal 3 and terminal 4. Replace the contact with a new one if the measured insulation resistance value is not more than the value listed in the table below.

2. Apply the tester to terminal 3 and terminal 4.

3. When applying a voltage of 12 V ON and OFF across terminal 1 and terminal 2 under the above condition, check to see if the relay activates to cause continuity or not between terminal 3 and terminal 4. Replace the relay with a new one if it does not activate properly.

CAUTION: This part operates on DC 12 V (Gasoline/Dieselengine truck) power supply.

CAUTION: As the relay has an integrated diode between terminals, be careful about the polarity when inspecting. Replace the relay with a new one if an impact is given to it or if it is dropped.;

(1) Transmission oil level check

(a) Check the transmission fluid level with the level gauge.

(b) Start and run the engine at an idling speed for about 3 minutes, and then stop the engine.

(c) Wait for about 30 seconds after stopping the engine, and check the level.

(d) The checking procedure must be completed within 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.

(a) Warm up the engine to raise the temperature of the transmission oil.

Control Valve Assembly Inspection after Disassembly

Check valves for burrs, scratches, dents and other surface defects.

(1) Check that all moving and sliding contact parts move smoothly.

(2) Check for clogged orifices.

(3) Replace springs if they are broken or bent. Measure the free length of springs.;
