hydraulic control valve. Each mast function allows
for full pump speed with flow restrictors (orifices)
used to slow tilt and sideshift functions. Hydraulic System
The lift hydraulic system is powered by a DC electric
motor, connected to a vane pump. This system
provides power for primary and secondary circuits
for the mast tilt (forward and backward), side shift
(right-to-left) via a double-acting, double ended
cylinder, and mast lift / lower (up and down)
positioning.
System cooling uses convection and conduction of
heat from the reservoir, hydraulic tubing and
cylinders to maintain a safe operating temperature
below 175° F (97.22° C).
A steel mesh suction filter, within the hydraulic
reservoir, plus an easily accessible return line filter
(10 micron rating) with a contamination level of ISO
2943 or better is used for oil filtration.
Additional information is available beginning on page
4-25.
Mast Controls
Mast positioning is achieved by operating the
hydraulic control valve via the three hydraulic control
levers. Hydraulic pressure is provided by a pump
driven by a single DC electric motor.
Mast movements may be operated individually or
together; however, when operated together, the
speed of operation is somewhat slower.

Mast Assemblies
Various mast assembly configurations (duplex,
triplex and /or quadplex) can be applied to the Bendi
3 Wheel trucks to provide both collapsed and
extended heights suitable for most customer
requirements. The lifting capacity of the mast also
varies depending on the truck and its application.
Load capacities are determined at 24” (609.6 mm)
centers, centered on the mast and include all
attachments on the carriage.
The Bendi Specifications list the dimensions of
standard masts available for these trucks. Also
check the identification (capacity) plate in the
operator’s cab for the maximum lifting capabilities
Figure 1-11 Mast in Collapsed Position
based on the particular truck and mast combination
(See Figure 1-1).
The trucks are counterweighted to compensate for
all positions of the maximum allowed load.
Masts are engineered to distribute thrust loads
evenly between the rollers and rails. Masts move as
a unit, providing maximum strength and endurance
for the rated load and consists of up to three pairs of
channels or rails (steel beams) rolling one within the
other on steel rollers.
The outer rails provide guidance and support for the
middle rails, which in turn guide and support the
inner rails. The truck forks are mounted on a
carriage assembly that runs on rollers within the
inner rails (See Figure 1-11).
Figure 1-12 Mast in Free Lift Position
A primary cylinder is supported by the inner rails and
hydraulically controlled. As the primary cylinder rod
extends, a sheave and chain assembly lift the
fork/carriage upward at twice the distance covered
by the cylinder rod.
This first stage of carriage lift is called free lift. It is
the distance of lift available without increasing the
overall height of the mast assembly (See Figure
1-12).
A secondary cylinder, attached to the outer rails, lifts
the middle and inner rails progressively via chains,
rollers and sheaves. The inner rails are raised at
twice the rate of extension of the secondary cylinder
piston.
This upward lift continues until the secondary Figure 1-13 Mast Fully Extended
cylinders are fully extended (See Figure 1-13).
The hydraulic fluid used to lift the primary cylinder is As an option, trucks may be equipped with quadplex

raised, it moves through two phases: the middle rail speed, and push up the inner rails at
twice the middle rail speed.
· Free lift, in which only the carriage assembly
moves, up to the maximum height allowed by
the inner rails (See Figure 1-12).
· Rail extension, in which both the middle and
inner rails move, carrying the carriage
upward (See Figure 1-13).
Downward movement of the mast is accomplished
by releasing the hydraulic fluid from the cylinders
back into the reservoir. The weight of the rails and
carriage provides enough pressure to force the fluid
from the cylinders. When the secondary cylinder
piston is fully contracted, the primary cylinder begins
to collapse, forcing its fluid back to the reservoir.
The mast is supported by trunnions which allow it to
tilt fore and aft. The amount of tilt is controlled by
two short hydraulic cylinders mounted between the
bottom of the mast and the pivot arm. A mast

Failure to follow these guidelines can

If you sense your forklift is going to tip-over, follow Figure 4-24
these instructions:
3. Brace your feet (See Figure 4-25).
1. Lean away from the direction the truck is tipping
(See Figure 4-23).
Figure 4-25
Figure 4-23
4. Don’t jump (See Figure 4-26). Follow these rules when you carry a load to help
prevent the truck from tipping:
· Slow down. Your forklift can tip over if you
turn at a high rate of speed!
· Sound the horn as you reach the intersection
to warn pedestrians and other equipment
operators you are approaching the
intersection.
· Always follow the rules of the road and yield
to other equipment operators and pedestrians
as required.
Figure 4-26
Transporting a Load
Follow these guidelines when you transport a load:
Turning · Do not speed.
· Use your horn to warn others of danger.
· Make sure the load is seated firmly against
the load backrest.
· Tilt the mast back.
· Lower the load so the forks are 4 in. to 6 in.
off the ground.
· Be alert to overhead obstructions such as low
doorways, racking, and pipes. Make sure you
know the raised and lowered heights of the
mast.
Figure 4-27 · Make sure the load is not wider than the
width of the gangways or aisles, especially if
you are backing a bulky load down an incline.
Warning
A lateral tip-over can occur if your truck
is improperly operated (See Figure
4-27). Slow down before turning! Fail-
ure to slow down can cause serious in-
jury or death.
Traveling on Inclines
Warning
Use extra caution when operating on
ramps. Travel slowly and do not turn.
Travel with load uphill. Travel with
empty forks downhill. Failure to follow
these guidelines can cause serious in-
jury or death.
When you travel up or down an incline, follow these
guidelines:
· Make sure the gradient is 5% or less with a
loaded Bendi forklift and 8% or less if you are
not carrying a load.
· Always keep the load pointed uphill (See
Figure 4-28). Travel with the forks facing
uphill whether you are going up or down an
incline. That means you must back down an b3 ser ii uphill
incline when you are carrying a load. If vision
is obscured, arrange for a ‘Banksman’ to
Figure 4-28 Traveling Uphill
guide you.
· If you are not carrying a load, travel with the
forks facing uphill when you are going up the
incline and face the forks downhill when you
are traveling down an incline (See Figure
4-29).
· Never travel across a grade. This can cause
the truck to tip-over laterally and can cause
serious injury or death.
· Use the foot brake to maintain control before
the truck builds up momentum.
· Raise the forks as necessary to avoid
damaging the forks or load as the road
surface changes grade at the top or bottom of
an incline. Lower the forks to 4 in. to 6 in. off
the ground when you clear the incline.
