Introduction
Kalmar empty container handlers DCE80-90E with lifting capaci-
ties of 8-9 tonnes are part of the Kalmar range, which includes
forklift trucks rated between 5 and 90 tonnes. This series of trucks
is based on a system of modules, and provides flexibility in the
selection of engine and gearbox.
The visibility is very good, due to the large windows and the clear
field of vision through the mast and the carriage.
The Instruction Manual applies to all models unless otherwise
stated.
Since the trucks are delivered with different equipment, minor
deviations from the Instruction Manual may occur.

OPERATION Instrument and controls
Warning lamps
(Trucks equipped with ECS System, module 07, have no
warning lamps 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49)
42 All of these lamps should be extinguished when the truck is in op-

eration. A steady light and a buzzer indicate failure.
Battery charging lamp (42)

If the lamp should light up this indicates that the alternator is not
43 charging. If this should happen, identify the cause and remedy it.
Never use the truck when the charging lamp lights.
Lubricating oil pressure, engine (43)

The lamp will light briefly on starting, and somewhat longer in
44 wintertime when the oil is cold and viscous.
If the lamp lights up when the truck is travelling, stop immediately
and make sure that the cause is identified and remedied.
Oil level? See Supervision.
45 Oil pressure, gearbox (44)

The lamp should go out immediately after the engine has started.
Pressure is too low if the lamp lights up while the truck is in op-
eration. If this happens, stop immediately and make sure that the
cause is identified and remedied.
46
Low brake pressure (45)
The lamp will light up if the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator,
i.e. the brake system pressure, should drop below 100 bar. After
the lamp has lit, sufficient capacity is still available for applying
the brakes a number of times.
If the pressure is not built up and maintained, check the accumu-
47 KL598
lators for leakage in accordance with the section entitled Super-
vision.
48 Engine coolant level (46)

The lamp will light momentarily on starting. If the lamp lights up
when the truck is travelling, the coolant level is too low. Check the
level and top up as necessary.
49
Engine preheating (47)
The lamp will lights during the preheating period.
Engine coolant temperature (48)

The lamp will light up if the coolant temperature becomes too
high. Make sure that the cause is identified and remedied.
50
Oil temperature, gearbox (49)
51 The lamp will light up if the temperature of the gearbox oil ex-
ceeds 120°C. Stop the truck and make sure that the cause is
identified and remedied.
Spare (50)
Parking brake lamp (51)

The lamp will lights while the parking brake is applied.
10 DCE80-90E
Trucks equipped with ECS System, module 07, have no
instruments 21, 22 and 23.
Pressure gauge, gearbox oil pressure (21)

21 The gauge shows the clutch pressure which should be
16.9–19.3 bar.
Activated parking brake. Idle speed 400–600 r/min. Working tem-
perature 82–93°C.
22 Fuel gauge (22)

The tank is full when the gauge reading is 4/4. The tank is half-
full when the pointer is vertical.
Always refuel before the gauge reading has dropped to 0.
Air may otherwise be drawn into the fuel system, which will then
have to be bled.
23
Temperature gauge (23)
The temperature gauge shows the engine coolant temperature,
which should normally be approx 80°C. This temperature will be
KL581 reached after the engine has run for about 5 minutes. The tem-
perature may vary between 75 and 97°C.
A higher temperature may be an indication that coolant level is
low. Check and top up as required, see under Supervision.
If the temperature is still too high, the cause must be identified
and remedied.
Don’t run the engine if the coolant temperature is too high.
Operating hour meter (66)

The operating hour meter records the number of engine operat-
66
ing hours. Use the meter to determine when the truck is due for
periodic service – all service is based on the operating hours of
the truck.

Trucks with ECS, automatic gear changing

The points at which the gearbox changes gear are optimized to
the truck's transmission system. The operator can limit gear
changing by twisting the gear selector from 3rd to 2nd or 1st
gears. If for example, 2nd gear is selected, the system auto-
matically changes gear between 1st and 2nd gears.
The ECS system

z prevents the gears being engaged if engine revolutions ex-
ceed 1100 r.p.m.
z prevents changing between forward and reverse gears if the
truck speed is in excess of 3 k.p.h. (reversing preventor).
z locks the gearbox in the current gear if the signal from the
propeller shaft sensor is excessive or if the signal ceases.
z reduces engine revolutions when changing to a higher gear
to ensure smothest possible gear changing.
z disengages the gearbox if the operator applies the brakes (at

Control levers (6)
The control levers are hydraulically connected to the main valve.
Electric servo control is available as optional equipment.
The speed of the various hydraulic functions, such as lifting, tilt-
ing,etc, will vary depending on the displacement of the corre-
+ sponding control lever. The speeds of the hydraulic functions can
also be varied by varying the engine speed.
a. Lift Lower
LIFT – pull the lever back
LOWER – push the lever forward
The lowering speed can only be varied by the amount of dis-

placement of the control lever, ie, engine speed does not affect
the lowering rate.

Parking brake (13)

The parking brake consists of a disc brake on the input shaft of
the drive axle and is applied by a powerful spring in the hydraulic
cylinder of the parking brake. The brake is released by means of
hydraulic pressure.
The brake is controlled electrically, by means of switch 13.
In turn, this switch activates a solenoid valve that directs the
hydraulic pressure to and from the brake cylinder.
A warning buzzer will be sound if the operator inadvertently
leaves his seat before applying the parking brake.
13 Warning lamp 51 will show a steady light when the parking brake
is applied.
KL1739 If the accumulator pressure should drop below a certain level,

OPERATION Engine heater, running-in, start, warming-up
Engine heater
The truck can be equipped with an engine heater to facilitate
starting at temperatures below 0°C.
The engine heater consists of a heater cartridge fitted into the en-
gine block and is designed to heat the engine coolant.
The engine heater must be connected to a 220 V a.c. earthed
outlet.
Running-in
A new engine should always be treated with care during a certain
running-in period. During this period, the surfaces of the bores,
gears and bearings will become hard and polished, and this will
ensure a long useful life of the engine.
Avoid running the engine at full load during the first 50 hours. The
load can then be gradually increased.
Try to extend the running-in period to 200 hours. This will pay in
the long run – the stoppages and breakdowns will be fewer.

Warming-up
Never race a cold engine. Run the engine at 1400–1500 r/min un-
til it starts to warm up. It is essential that the engine oil be warm
and that it is circulating correctly before the turbocharger starts
running at high speeds. Nor should the engine be run at critically
low speeds. Start using the truck only when the engine has
reached normal working temperature, i.e. when the temperature
gauge on the instrument panel reads about 80°C.

such faults are immediately rectified.
Compressor for tyre inflation

1. An air filter with water separator should be fitted in the line
from the compressor that is used for tyre inflation.
The water separator minimises the risk of the rims rusting.
2. Drain the water separator regularly.
Tyre inflation
1. Before inflating, make sure that the wheel locking ring is in
the correct position, see illustration.
N.B. If the tyre has been completely deflated, the wheel
must be dismantled and checked for damage.
2. Connect the compressor hose, with a grip-nozzle to the nip-
ple on the tyre.
3. Move away to the side and remain there throughout the en-
tire inflation process.

SUPERVISION Fuel system
Fuel system
Always refuel with ordinary diesel oil.
Never use any additives for the diesel oil.
In the winter, it is advisable to refuel the truck immediately after
the day’s work has been completed, ie, to avoid moisture con-
densing inside the fuel tank.
Never add water-absorbing agents, such as alcohol, to the fuel.
Tank capacity, see Technical Data.
The filling pipe is on the left-hand side of the truck.
Before refuelling, make sure that the area around the filler cap is
clean.
KL1309
Bleeding the fuel system
Volvo engines
Air will be drawn into the fuel system if the truck is used when the
fuel tank is completely empty. It will then be necessary to bleed
the system after refuelling. This is carried out as follows:
z Back off the bleed screw A half a turn.

z Release the pump handle B by turning it anti-clockwise
(TWD).
z Pump by means of the hand pump B until the fuel flowing
past the bleed screw is completely free from air. Continue
pumping and tighten screw A.
z Tighten the pump handle (TWD).
z Run the starter motor in 20–30 second bursts, with a pause
of a couple of seconds between each run. The engine will
start after 2–3 minutes.

SUPERVISION Cooling system
Cooling system
The coolant is topped up via the radiator filling cap accessible
through an aperture in the engine cover.
N.B. TAD and QSB engines have separate expansion tanks.
WARNING!
Do not open the cap when the engine is hot, since steam
or hot water may spray out.
Fill with water containing at least 40% glycol. If glycol is not used,
a corrosion inhibitor must always be added to the coolant. But the
corrosion inhibitor is not an anti-freeze agent, and should there-
fore be used only if the ambient temperature is constantly above
KL1310 0°C.
If the coolant level should drop below the minimum level, warning
lamp 46 on the instrument panel will light up.
IMPORTANT!
Insufficient coolant may impair the coolant circulation
which may cause the coolant to boil and give rise to
engine damage.

Checking the brake system accumulators

The accumulators are charged with nitrogen. If lamp 45 for low
brake pressure should light up, check for leakage as follows.
1. Start the engine and let it run until the accumulators are
charged.
2. Stop the engine and then turn the starting key to position I.
3. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly with long strokes, hold-
ing it down in the depressed position for a brief while on eve-
ry occation.
4. It should be possible to apply the brakes at least six times be-
fore lamp 45 lights up.
5. Start the engine, allow the accumulators to be charged and
repeat the test a couple of times.
6. If the brakes cannot be applied six times before lamp 45
lights up, the accumulators are faulty. If so, ensure that the
A fault recieves attention as soon as possible and that the ac-
cumulators are charged with nitrogen.
