INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This section has a description and the service proce-
dures for the parts of the frame. These parts include the
frame, counterweight assembly, overhead guard, hy-
draulic tank, access panels, and label positions. (See
FIGURE 1.) The procedure for removing the traction
motor is also described in this section.
DESCRIPTION
The frame is a single weldment. The frame has mounts
for the counterweight, overhead guard, tilt cylinders,
steering axle, and drive axle assembly. The hydraulic
tank is a plastic tank mounted in the right side of the
frame on all of the XL series of lift trucks except the
E3.50–5.50XL
(E70–120XL)
series. On
the
E3.50–5.50XL (E70–120XL) models, the hydraulic
tank is part of the lift truck frame and is a welded steel
unit. The lift trucks must have a hood over the battery, or
a covered battery if a hood is not installed. The floor
plates can be removed for access to the hydraulic sys-
tems. A panel in the bottom of the battery compartment
can be removed for access to the traction motor and the
hydraulic pump motor. On the E3.50–5.50XL
(E70–120XL) models, this panel also gives access to the
power steering pump motor. The SCR (silicon con-
trolled rectifier) electronic controller and contactors are
in the counterweight. A panel in the counterweight can
be removed for access to the SCR controller and contac-
tors.
The frames for the lift trucks are similar in design, but
are different sizes for each XL series. The
J1.25–1.75XL (E25–35XL) models with pneumatic
tires have fenders welded to the frame because of the
wider drive tires.
The E2.00–3.00XL (E40–60XL) lift trucks have frames
made in four different configurations. The lift truck with
the long (842 mm battery compartment) frame has a
larger battery compartment than the lift truck with the
short (695 mm battery compartment) frame. Some lift
trucks have additional counterweight metal added to the
