Technical description
General
Series 318 empty container lift trucks allow the
transport and stacking of ISO type container
types up to 9.0 tonnes. The C90/5 can stack
empty containers up to 5 high, the C90/6 can
stack empty containers up to 6 high, the C90/7
can stack empty containers up to 7high and
the C90/8 can stack empty containers up to
8high at 1,295mm load centre.

Engine
A 6 cylinder, turbo charged, direct injection
diesel engine, providing 142 kW at 2300 rpm,
as a power unit, drives the truck hydraulic
pumps at load-dependent speed. The engine
is cooled by a closed-loop coolant circuit
with an expansion reservoir. The lubrication
system is a forced feed type lubrication with
the oil pump in the oil sump. A dry air filter with
a paper cartridge cleans the combustion air.
Diesel engines with state-of-the-art engine
technology are used for:
- high torque,
- low fuel consumption,
- low exhaust gas emissions,
- low soot emissions,
- low noise values.

Steering
The steering is a hydrostatic power system,
which operates the rear wheels with the
steering wheel via the steering cylinder. The

Operating Instructions 318 807 1001 EN 2008/10

steering system can also be operated when

the engine is stopped, but a greater effort is
required to turn the steering wheel.

Brake system
The hydrostatic transmission is used proportionally as the service brake which provides
adequate braking performance under normal
operating conditions, therefore no brake servicing is required. The first 60% of brake pedal
movement actuates hydrostatic braking. Remaining pedal movement actuates the friction
brake system. When friction braking is being
applied the pedal effort is significantly higher
than for hydrostatic braking.
The disc brakes integrated in the axle are
utilised as the parking brake. When the
engine is stopped, the disc brakes are applied
automatically. When parking the truck, the
parking brake is applied by pulling the parking
brake handle.

Hydraulic system
The traction drive consists of a variable-displacement pump and two variable-displacement wheel motors installed as a unit in the
drive axle, and a variable displacement hydraulic pump for the working hydraulics and
power steering system. Travel direction and
speed are controlled by drive pedals via the
variable-displacement pump. The final drive
unit is supplied with oil from the variable-displacement pump, and is connected to the drive
wheel via a reduction gearbox.

1 Introduction
Technical description
Operation
The variable-displacement hydraulic pump
and engine speed are simultaneously controlled by one pedal each for forward and
reverse travel (twin-pedal control). With the
hydrostatic drive, truck speed can be controlled steplessly in both directions from zero
to maximum speed. The double-pedal control
permits easy, safe and quick operations of the
lift truck. Both hands are always free for steering and control of the mast operations. The
result is quick direction changes and efficient
stacking.
Another version allows control of the truck
speed with one accelerator pedal (singlepedal control) and the direction of travel with a
directional switch.
As standard, there is only one control lever
(joystick) for controlling the mast functions
lowering and tilting. Another joystick is
installed for the operation of sideshift and
forkspread functions.

Lift mast
The lift mast is equipped with two lift cylinders,
two tilt cylinders and chains mounted on each
side. Movement of the inner mast section
along the outer section is on heavy duty
bearings and sliding pads. The whole mast
assembly is mounted on two pivot pins to the
final drive unit casting.

Container spreader
The spreader is used to pick up empty containers. It is mounted directly on the outer upright
and it can handle ISO containers with a length
of 20 to 40 feet (6100 to 12200 mm) and a
height of 8 feet to 9 feet 6 inches (2438 to 2896
mm). The maximum container width can be
8 feet (2438 mm). The spreader is equipped
with two hydraulic cylinders for extending it to
the correct container length. When transporting empty containers two hydraulically operated twistlocks are engaged into the carrying

corner castings on the container and locked.

When the container is lifted, it hangs on these
twistlocks. With a hydraulic cylinder as integrated sideshift, the spreader can be adjusted
laterally 300 mm to the left and right side. The
functions of the twistlocks are indicated by indicator lights on the spreader and in the cabin.
Orange-coloured flags on the twistlocks also
indicate the position of the twistlocks.

Electrical system
The electrical system is 24 volts direct current,
supplied by the alternator which is fitted with
a solid state rectifier and charge control
unit. Two 12 v 88AH heavy duty batteries
connected in series, are fitted.

Electronic/electrical installation
Linde Truck Control (LTC) The truck control
electronics allow:
- sensitive, smooth driving and reversing,
- automatic engine speed control to match the
hydraulic power requirements,
- fast service due to self-diagnostics,
- greatest possible operational reliability.

Driving cab
The driving cab frame forms the load guard;
it conforms to International safety standards
with cab glazing as an option.
Entry is on the left side of the truck. The large
opening window on the right can be used to
exit the cab in an emergency.
The cab and doors have large glazed areas
to allow the driver maximum visibility during
operations. Screen wiper and washers are
fitted to the front, top and rear screens with
screen demist functions as part of the cab
heater or climate control system.
An optional passenger seat can be fitted in the
left rear corner of the cab.

4 Operation
Braking system
Braking system
Service brake
Allow accelerator pedals (1) to return to
the neutral position. The hydrostatic drive
will act as a service brake. Braking can be
controlled from soft to hard braking with
sensitivity by releasing the accelerator pedals slowly or quickly.

CAUTION
For emergency braking depress brake pedal (2)
located between the accelerator pedals. The truck
will come to a full stop.

Brake pedal
CAUTION

d3591053

Because the hydrostatic transmission is used proportionally as the service brake, no brake servicing
is required. The first 60% of brake pedal movement
actuates the hydrostatic braking. Remaining pedal
movement (increased pressure will be felt on the
pedal), actuates the friction brake system. In unfavourable situations, the engine could stall following
a full stop using the friction brakes, in which case
about 30 seconds must elapse before the variable
pump of the power train returns to the zero position.

NOTE

It is recommended that the operator acquaint

himself with the function and effect of these
brakes without a load on the truck. Drive on a
roadway without traffic at a slow speed.
CAUTION
Use of the friction braking system other than for
emergency braking is not recommended as the life
of the braking components will be greatly reduced.

Parking brake
The multiple disc brakes are used as a parking
brake.
To engage the parking brake:
Pull parking brake handle (3) up. The symbol

Remove the wheel chocks.
WARNING
Check brake function after completing repairs. If
deficiencies should occur in the braking system,
please contact your authorised dealer.
Do not drive the truck with a faulty braking system.

Measures before taking the truck out of operation

If the truck is taken out of operation for over 2
months, it must be parked in a well ventilated,
frost-free, clean and dry room and the following measures must be carried out.

Check the condition and electrolyte level of

the battery. Coat the battery terminals with
non-acidic grease. (Follow the instructions
of the battery manufacturer.)

Thoroughly clean the truck.

Spray all open electrical contacts with a

suitable contact spray.

Operate the spreader several times.

Tilt the mast forward and back several
times.
Lower the spreader on a support until the
chains are slack.
Check the hydraulic oil level and add oil, if
needed.
Add diesel fuel.
Apply a thin film of oil or grease on all
unpainted mechanical parts.

CAUTION
Block up the truck so that all wheels are clear of the
ground. This will prevent tyre deformation.

NOTE

Do not use plastic foil to cover the truck as

this enhances the formation and collection of
condensation water.

Lubricate the truck as described in the

maintenance section of this manual.

General information
General information
Your truck will remain operational only if the
maintenance and checks are carried out
regularly and according to the information
and instructions in the operating manual.
This maintenance may only be performed
by qualified authorised personnel. This work
can be carried out by your authorised dealer
under a service contract.
If you wish to do the work yourself, we recommend that the first three customer service
checks be carried out by your distributors
mechanic in the presence of the responsible
mechanic in your workshop, so that your staff
can receive the appropriate instruction.
For all servicing, the truck must be placed
on a level surface and the wheels secured.
Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
When working on the truck with the spreader
and mast elevated, secure them against
inadvertent lowering.
For work on the front end of the truck, secure
the mast against tilting back.
CAUTION
No changes, particularly no modifications and
additions, may be made to the truck without the
approval of the manufacturer.

74

CAUTION
Missing or damaged plates and/or adhesives must
be replaced. For location and or part number refer
to the Parts Catalogue.

Perform a functional check and trial run after

every servicing.

Maintenance intervals
NOTE

When operating the truck under extreme

conditions (i.e. extreme heat or cold, intensive
dust concentration, etc.), the intervals given in
the maintenance schedule should be reduced
accordingly.
Use only the specified engine oil and coolant
when servicing. The required qualities are
described in the recommended lubricants
section. The inspection and maintenance intervals depend on the operating and service
conditions of the truck. For heavy duty conditions we recommend shorter intervals. Please
contact your authorised dealer in this regard.

Operating Instructions 318 807 1001 EN 2008/10

Maintenance 5
Work on the mast and the front part of the truck

Work on the mast and the front

part of the truck
CAUTION
Do not carry out any work on the mast or the front
part of the truck with the mast or spreader raised
without securing the mast as described below.

These safety precautions are only sufficient

for the general servicing of the truck (inspections and lubrication).
When carrying out repairs (e.g. changing
chains, cylinder removal), additional safety
precautions are required. Please contact your
authorised distributor.

Securing the mast against tilting back

Apply the parking brake.
Fully lower the mast.
Stop the engine and remove the ignition
key.
Lock the cabin doors and remove the key.

Securing the raised mast

CAUTION
The mast and carriage must be secured with a suitable chain if working on the mast or the front of the
truck with the carriage raised. Be sure not to exceed the maximum height of lift.

Raise the spreader fully.

Fasten the chain around the cross member
of the outer mast (1) and inner mast (2).
Lower the inner mast until it is held by the
chain.

Clean the truck

NOTE

How often the truck needs cleaning depends

on its use. If used with very aggressive media
like salt water, fertilizer, chemicals, cement,
etc., the truck should be cleaned carefully and
more often.
WARNING
Hot steam or intensive degreasing solutions should
be used with utmost care. The grease in sealed
for life bearings may dissolve and leak out. Since
re-greasing is not possible, this will result in damage to the bearing.

CAUTION
Protect all electrical components and the air filter
intake from the ingress of steam, water etc., when
cleaning.
Protective clothing and eye protection must be
worn.

Clean the cabin floor and ensure that no debris is allowed to obstruct the operation of the
pedals.
Clean especially the oil filler areas and the
lubrication points prior to servicing.
When cleaning with compressed air, remove
sticking dirt with a cold cleaner.
When cleaning the truck with de-greasing
solutions, allow sufficient time for the cleaner
to soak in, then flush off with a strong water jet.
After cleaning the engine, allow it to run warm
to dry off and to ensure there are no malfunctions due to water ingress.

intervals.

API classification CH-4/SJ, ACEA E-5. Use

oils meeting the API classification CH by
choice.

Trucks equipped with a particle filter* system

should only be filled with oils having a low ash
content. Residues of oil additive combustion
(ash) can not be regenerated and they clog
the monolith in the long run.

Engine oils of API classification CD are

not recommended for the first 50 hours of
operation and for extra light duty. During
engine operation, part of the oil serving as
piston lubricant is burned (consumed). The
products of combustion combined with the
high temperatures lead to oil wear, especially
of the chemical additives.
Since this oil wear depends on operating
conditions and the quality of oil (productivity
of oil) and fuel used, oil change intervals of
different lengths result.
The longest possible oil change interval
for lubricating oil in engines is one year,
i.e. change oil at least once every year of

CAUTION
Used oil must be kept out of the reach of children
until disposed of in accordance with laws and
regulations.
Do not allow oil to get into the sewage system or

Viscosity of oil
d3591144

Since the viscosity of lubricants varies with

temperature, the ambient temperature at the
locality of the trucks use is the determining
factor in selection of the viscosity range (SAE
class) of the engine oil (see diagram).

If the ambient temperature occasionally falls

below the temperature limit (e.g. using SAE 15
W/40 down to -15 C), the cold start capability
of the engine is reduced, but no damage to the
engine will result.

152

Operating Instructions 318 807 1001 EN 2008/10

Maintenance 5
Fuel and oil recommendations
Too viscous oils lead to engine starting
problems. Therefore ambient temperatures
during engine starting determine the grade
of oil used in winter. Seasonal oil changes
can be avoided by using multigrade oils. The
specified oil change intervals also apply to
multigrade oils.
NOTE

used instead of hydraulic oil HLP 68, and a

SAE 30 engine oil can be used instead of HLP
100.
The above-mentioned recommendations are
only approximate values. If in doubt, contact
your authorized dealer. Recommendations of
representatives of the oil industry should also
be checked with your authorised dealer.

Oil additives of any kind must not be added to

any of the above mentioned engine oils! Their
use jeopardizes the warranty!

Only the above-mentioned mineral oils are

approved by the manufacturer. If other
hydraulic oils are used or mixed, costly
damage can result.

Mixing of different oil brands should be

avoided.

Final drive motor oil

Since the temperature changes of neighbouring SAE classifications overlap, the oil
does not need to be changed when short-term
changes in temperature occur.
NOTE

To ensure faultless cold starts, it is important

to select the SAE classification of oil according
to the ambient temperature when starting the
engine.
For temperatures below -10 C it is recommended using SAE 5W/30 oil for sure cold
start performance.
