The manual opens with a Correct Use and Application section that defines the truck’s intended purpose — lifting and transporting load units on flat surfaces — and lays out the proprietor’s responsibilities for safe operation, operator training, and compliance with accident prevention regulations. It also covers the requirements for attaching accessories, which need written manufacturer approval.

Truck Description

This opening chapter introduces the EVX 20 Plus +++ and EVX 30 Plus +++ as electric sit-down forklift trucks designed for lifting and carrying loads on flat surfaces, with traction function and optional attachments available per requirement. It walks through every major assembly — fork, mast, overhead guard, headlight, carriage, steering wheel, parking brake, front and rear wheels, battery hood, seat, counterweight, rear lamp unit, brake and accelerator paddles, and towing pin — using labeled illustrations that make component identification straightforward. The steering and instrument display section covers the steering wheel, combination light switch, key switch, instrument panel, emergency disconnect switch, travel switch, levers, pedals, and body components. Truck data plate interpretation, standard version specifications with performance data and dimensions for both models, and the critical relationship between load and truck stability are all laid out here. The stability section explains load center, combined center, barycenter, and the stability triangle with clear diagrams, making it easy to understand why certain loads become unstable and how to avoid tip-over.

Transport and Commissioning

Procedures for lifting the truck by crane using approved strap points, securing it during transport on a lorry or trailer, and towing with the towing pin are covered in detail. The section on using the truck for the first time outlines the checks needed after delivery — equipment completeness, hydraulic oil level, battery installation, and initial charging. A brake-in period section gives specific recommendations for the first 100 hours of operation, including load limits of 70–80% of rated capacity, avoiding sudden stops and starts, and performing oil changes earlier than the regular schedule.

Operation

This is the core operator safety chapter. It lays out 39 numbered safety regulations covering everything from knowing your truck’s rear-wheel steering characteristics and stopping the forklift when it’s in trouble, to mounting and dismounting procedures, starting safely, prohibiting sudden stops or turns, handling loads without exceeding capacity, tilting the mast correctly when loaded, carrying loads low, watching for doorways and slowing at corners, driving over dock boards, working on grades, never lifting a load over anyone, checking the work ground area, parking correctly, and towing. The operational procedures section then walks through preparing the truck, switching it on with the correct control sequence, travelling, steering, braking, collecting and depositing loads (pick up, stacking, un-stacking), and the checks to perform after operation.

Battery Maintenance & Charging

Safety regulations for handling acid batteries come first — no firing, protection against electric shock, correct wire connection, and avoiding over-discharge. Battery type and dimensions are listed, followed by charging procedures: exposing the battery, attentions for charging, first charging with electrolyte preparation and specific gravity adjustment, and daily charging. Battery removal and installation with lifting illustrations, electrolyte proportion and level inspection, distilled water replenishment, specific gravity reading with a densimeter and temperature conversion, and ongoing battery maintenance including equalize charging, opportunity charging, and charging for long-term storage are all covered. The section is thorough enough to guide anyone responsible for keeping these lead-acid batteries in service.

Forklift Truck Maintenance

Operational safety and environmental protection rules open this chapter. Daily maintenance covers oil leakage inspection, tyre inspection and replacement with torque values, brake pedal and parking brake lever checks, accelerator pedal, driver’s seat adjustment, battery check, instrument check, levers, mast, mast lubrication, lift chain tension check, steering system, turn signal/horn/lamp checks, and battery maintenance. Termly inspection and maintenance schedules are presented in detailed tables with intervals of 50, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 hours, covering the storage battery, controller, motor, driving system, wheels, steering system, brake system, hydraulic system, lifting system, and additional components like overhead guard, turn signal, horn, lights, and meters. A key safe parts replacement table lists brake hoses, hydraulic hoses, lifting chains, high-pressure hoses, brake oil cups, brake master cylinders, and inner hermetic rubber with recommended replacement intervals. Bolt tight torque tables, a lubrication schedule with a grease point diagram, and fuel/coolant/lubricant specifications with capacities and change intervals complete the chapter.

Troubleshooting

This extensive chapter spans nearly 40 pages and covers the drive system, steering system, brake system, hydraulic system (main pump and control valve), lifting system, and electrical system. Each section presents symptoms, probable causes, and corrective actions in clear tables. The electrical system section includes a comprehensive fault code table with code numbers, alarm strings, controller status, descriptions, and the conditions needed to clear each alarm. An alert analysis section explains each fault code in practical terms — what triggers it, what it means, and how to troubleshoot it. The hydraulic main relief valve pressure adjustment procedure is documented step by step with load requirements and pressure settings.

Warranty

The warranty terms are reproduced, including coverage periods for different KION product lines. The EVX-Plus and DVX-Plus series carry a 2-year or 3000-hour warranty from the date of invoice, subject to terms and conditions and completion of services as per the service coupon. Covered parts include engine, transmission, torque converter, axle assembly, fork, chain, mast bearing, steering unit, hub, rim, brake components (excluding wearable parts), hydraulic components, electric controller, motor, and pump. Exclusions for consumables, wear parts, electrical apparatus like lamps and fuses, and conditions that void warranty are clearly stated.

Why This Manual Matters

Electric forklift trucks are only as safe and reliable as the operator and maintenance practices behind them. The EVX 20 Plus and EVX 30 Plus are AC-drive machines with sophisticated controllers, hydraulic systems, and battery packs that demand correct procedures — not guesswork. This manual gives you the manufacturer’s own instructions for operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting these trucks. Whether you need to perform a daily inspection, interpret a fault code on the instrument display, check lift chain tension, adjust the main relief valve, or safely charge and maintain the battery, the procedure is here.
