How to assemble and adjust the steering system of an electric forklift?

For some electric forklifts using mechanical steering systems, when the steering wheel, steering shaft, mechanical steering gear, longitudinal rod, tie rod, and other components are installed in the corresponding positions of the forklifts, the initial positions of each component and system should be adjusted. Next, no matter what the price of forklift for sale is, the electric forklift manufacturer will specifically explain how to assemble and adjust the steering system of electric forklift.

First, let's talk about how to adjust the position of the quick handle of an electric forklift. First, place the quick handle in the "O" position (corresponding to the position of the driver's seat), connect the steering gear, turn the steering wheel to the left and right to their respective ends, record each rotation angle, and find out that the steering gear nut is in the middle position. Regardless of the price of forklift for sale, the electric forklift manufacturer tells everyone that the next step is to disconnect the steering gear from the steering shaft, place the steering wheel quick handle at "O", reconnect the steering gear, and lock it securely (other methods can also be used); Connect the pitman arm, longitudinal (straight) pull rod, and swing (rotary) plate.

Second, the parallel adjustment of the steering wheels of electric forklift. Turn the steering wheel to make the steering wheel run in a straight line. The two wheels must be parallel, and there should be no toe-in or opposite conditions. Use a ruler to measure the front center and rear center of the tire, which should be consistent. Otherwise, adjust the length of the tie rod. During adjustment, it should be noted that the two tie rods must be of equal length, measured while adjusting, and the lock nut should be tightened after adjustment. The third point is the adjustment of the steering pitman arm position of electric forklift trucks. The vehicle is traveling in a straight line, with the quick handle in the "O" position (the gear sector in the middle of the rack). Turning the steering wheel can cause inconsistencies in the left and right corners. The electric forklift manufacturer tells everyone that no matter what the price of forklift for sale is, it is necessary to fold the pitman shaft off the pitman shaft, rotate one or more teeth, and reinstall it. Then, check the left and right steering angles until the left and right steering angles are consistent.

Finally, let me talk about the inspection of the steering angle of electric forklift. Jack up the steering axle with a jack to keep the rear wheels in a straight line running state for the construction and maintenance of electric forklifts and electric tractors. Then pad a flat plate on the left and right tires, fix a piece of white paper on the flat plate, use a ruler to approach the edge of the wheel, and draw a straight line parallel to the wheel; Then turn the steering wheel left to the limit position and draw the second straight line b; Use a protractor to measure the angle between two straight lines as the maximum steering angle in a certain direction. If the specified maximum steering angle of the vehicle is reached, the limit bolt fixed to the steering axle can be adjusted to limit the maximum inner steering angle of the steering wheel. Use the same method to adjust the maximum inner steering angle of the other wheel. If the maximum steering angle cannot be adjusted due to improper steering arm adjustment, it can be adjusted according to the above method until the maximum outer and maximum inner steering angles of each wheel meet the requirements (various electric vehicles should follow the values given in the instructions), and then lock the steering axle limit screws firmly. The electric forklift manufacturer reminds everyone that no matter what the price of forklift for sale is, for a fully hydraulic steering system, the initial position can also be adjusted using the above method.
