What This Manual Gives You

This Linde E35 E40 E45 E50 series 388 operator manual is the working reference that ships with the truck. It starts with the basics every operator needs – how to mount and dismount safely, how to set the seat and steering column, how to fasten the seat belt, how to switch the truck on and off, and how to read the display unit – and then moves into the full driving and load handling procedure for both dual-pedal and single-pedal trucks. The complete brake story is here as well: the hydraulic service brake on the stop pedal, the electrohydraulic parking brake applied from the switch, the electric regenerative brake with Linde Brake Control, and the automatic brake that holds the truck on gradients after the accelerator is released.

Because the same document covers the E 35, E 40, E 45 and E 50, the operating instructions stay relevant across the whole series 388 range, including the /600 H, /600 HL, /500 HL, /600L container and elevated driver’s compartment versions. Where a feature only applies to certain trucks – mast positioning, steering angle display, lift height limitation, BlueSpot, window heater, integrated charger, Linde Forklift Data Management – the manual marks it as special equipment and describes it separately, so you always know which instructions apply to the machine in front of you.

Safety Content Built Into Every Chapter

Safety is not bolted on at the end of this operator manual. It runs from the general safety guidelines in chapter 2 through to the residual risk notes, stability warnings, and the tip-over procedure with the seat belt, hold tight, brace feet, lean away pictograms. Emergency exits through the attached rear window, handling of consumables, and the rules for fitting attachments are all covered in detail. There is also a dedicated fork carriage emergency lowering procedure, documented separately for standard trucks and for trucks with an elevated driver’s compartment, including the screw and nut torque values needed to restore the valve after manual lowering.

Maintenance Schedules and Service Plans

The maintenance half of the Linde E35 E40 E45 E50 operator manual is where it earns its place in the workshop. A one-off service plan after 1000 hours, then recurring service plans for every 1000, 3000 and 6000 hours lay out exactly which checks, oil changes, filter replacements and torque checks fall due. Each job is written as a practical procedure: checking the planetary transmission oil level with the depth gauge set to 124 mm, draining and refilling with 0.95 litres of gearbox oil per planetary transmission, cleaning the combined axle and greasing the tie rod nipples, checking the brake system, checking the tyres, replacing the high-pressure filter and suction filter, changing the hydraulic oil, and adjusting the lift mast chain so the lower guide roller does not protrude more than 25 mm past the inner mast guide rail. Fuses are covered too, both the basic equipment fuses on the contactor carrier and the special equipment fuses in the rear housing, with slot numbers and values listed.

Technical Data and Load Capacity Charts

Chapter 6 is the reference section. Each truck variant has its own type sheet listing load capacity, load centre of gravity distance, load distance, wheelbase, net weight, axle loads, tyre sizes, track widths, tilt angles, lift heights, travel speed, lifting and lowering speed, pulling force, climbing capability, acceleration time, traction and lift motor ratings, battery voltage and capacity, energy consumption and noise level at the driver’s ear. Load capacity diagrams let you read off the maximum permissible load against lift height and load centre distance, and there are separate diagrams for the elevated driver’s compartment variants. Lift mast data is tabulated for standard, duplex and triplex masts across every lift height, and there is guidance on reading the additional capacity rating plate when an attachment is fitted.

Battery, Charging and Energy Systems

The series 388 trucks run on an 80 V battery, and the manual documents the full energy chain: checking the battery charge status from the LED bar display, charging with an external charger, the integrated Linde Power Source charger LPS-80/75, the active charging ventilation unit that extracts charge gases through a fan in the counterweight, and battery replacement using a crane with C hooks, a battery removal tool, a battery support, or the lateral hydraulic battery carrier that extends the battery about 60 percent out of the truck. Error codes for the charging process are listed with causes and remedies, so a fault on the charger can be identified before calling a technician.

Get This Linde Series 388 Operator Manual as an Instant PDF

With the Linde E35 E40 E45 E50 operator manual 388 801 1501 on hand, you can run the truck the way it was designed to be run, perform the daily and pre-shift checks, follow the correct load pick-up and set-down sequence, and carry out the scheduled maintenance at the right intervals with the right consumables, torque values and oil quantities. Correct procedures protect the operator, the load and the truck – the wrong hydraulic oil affects the braking characteristics, the wrong wheel torque affects the wheel fastenings, and a missed chain adjustment affects the lift mast. This PDF is delivered instantly after payment, with no shipping and no waiting, and it opens on any device – laptop, tablet or phone – so you can read it in the cab, print the pages you need for the workshop, or keep the whole document on a USB stick in the service office.
