Linde E 14, E 20 1999 Training Manual

You have a Linde E14 or E20 on the lift, and the thing drives like garbage or the steering is sloppy. You crack open some third-party PDF and find a generic diagram that doesn’t match the 335-02 series hardware. That loses billable hours and gets you a comeback. This **Linde E 14, E 20 1999 Training Manual** is the actual factory document Linde gave to their own techs in 1999. It runs 306 pages, covers both the E14 and E20 with the shunt-wound drive (NebenSchlußantrieb), and it does not waste your time with theory you won’t use.

Drive Motor Diagnostics and Rebuild

Section 1 (Antrieb – Motor) starts on page 1 of the manual. It walks through the drive motor assembly – left and right motors (1M1), carbon brush inspection and replacement, armature disassembly, and the full DC motor test sequence. Page 1 has the visual inspection checklist and the winding resistance tests you need before you condemn a motor. The section also covers the optional speed sensor (Drehzahlsensor) and the fan assembly. This is not a generic motor guide; it matches the specific Linde part numbers from the 335-02 series.

Planetary Gearbox: Oil Changes and Seal Replacement

Section 2 covers the GR2E-02 planetary gearbox. You get oil level checks, drain intervals, and the procedure for replacing the radial shaft seal (Radialdichtring) without pulling the entire unit. The manual even shows how to separate the gearbox from the drive motor properly – a step that aftermarket books almost always get wrong. If you’ve ever fought a binding gearbox because the shop manual skipped the preload procedure, you’ll appreciate having the OEM method in front of you.

Steering Axle Overhaul – Two Different Designs

Section 4 (Lenkanlage) is worth the price alone. It covers the pivot-steer axle for the E14, E16, E16C and the combo steering axle for the E16P/E18P/E20P. Page 26 shows you exactly how to replace the steering position potentiometer (Lenkstellungspotentiometer) – a common failure that causes erratic steering. The steering cylinder seal replacement is broken out by manufacturer (Rochlitz vs. Weber) with torque specs for the tie rod ends. You also get the procedure for the Servostat steering control valve with the inductive sensor. This is not a generic steering section; it lists the exact spring and shim stacks for the cone bearings on the kingpins.

Electrical System: Control Logic and Component Locations

Section 6 (Elektrische Anlage) is the brain of the truck. It explains the drive control (Fahrantrieb) including motor activation, forward/reverse logic, freewheel circuit, and regenerative braking. The power stage sections (Leistungsteil A1, 1A1) include the transistor temperature monitoring – critical for diagnosing intermittent shutdowns. Connector locations are mapped for both individual and combined controllers (E14 vs. E16-20). Fuse assignments are there. The control circuit breakdown lists every signal: voltage supply, capacitor charge/discharge, enable signal, accelerator, single-pedal switch, steering pot, handbrake switch, stop-pedal switch, speed reduction, relay driver, motor temperature monitoring, emergency stop microswitch, and speed monitoring. If you’re chasing a no-drive or a limp-home condition, this section gives you the factory diagnostic tree.

Brake and Pedal Adjustments – Manual That Saves Fingers

Section 5 covers brake actuation: pad replacement, parking brake adjustment, foot brake adjustment, and brake fluid replacement. The accelerator pedal stop screw adjustment is listed with a specific dimension – not a “tighten until it feels right” line. A properly adjusted pedal prevents the driver from overspeeding the motor and damaging the controller. I’ve seen techs skip this because they think it’s trivial. Then they wonder why the truck throws a code. The manual does not let you skip it.

Does This Manual Cover the Linde E 14 and E 20 Only?

Yes, specifically the 335-02 series with shunt-wound drive. If you have an E16 or E18P, many steering and electrical sections apply, but the manual is titled for the E14 and E20. Check the TOC: Section 4.1 covers the pivot-steer axle for E14, E16, E16C; Section 4.2 covers the combo axle for E16P/E18P/E20P. The electrical section has separate connector layout tables for E14 single control vs. E16-20 single control, and similar for combined control. The manual is a training document, so it explains the system theory before the repair steps – that’s why it’s 306 pages. If you need a pure repair manual for later models, look at the Linde E 14-20 P Operators Manual – OEM Factory or the Linde E 20, E 25, E 30 Training Manual – Factory Forklift Procedures for the next generation.

Source Authenticity – Why This Beats Any Aftermarket Copy

I have been through enough aftermarket reproductions that claim to be “factory” but omit the temperature sensor part numbers or skip the insulation test details. This document is a direct scan of the original Linde Service Training binder from 1999. The OCR excerpt shows the exact header: “Linde E-Stapler E 14 – 20 mit NebenSchlußantrieb Baureihe 335 -02” and the Linde part number 335 814 4600 054. There are no missing pages, no blurred torque tables, no translated garbage. The manual is in German, but the diagrams and labeled components are legible enough for any technician who knows the parts. If you cannot read German, you will still get the sequence and the measurements. For electrical theory basics, the Manual Transmission page is irrelevant here, but for understanding motor control principles, the Cylinder Head Mechanics article might give you background on induction – irrelevant again. Stick with this manual for the Linde-specific stuff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this manual for the Linde E 16C?

Partially. The steering axle section (4.1) covers the E16C pivot-steer axle, and the electrical section covers the E16-20 controller variants. The drive motor section applies as long as it’s a shunt-wound motor. But the manual’s title is E14/E20, so double-check your specific controller board revision.

Is this manual in English?

No, it is the original German service training document.

You can chase down intermittent electrical faults all day with a multimeter and a prayer, or you can get the factory wiring logic and torque values from the source. Access the Factory Manual and stop guessing on the steering potentiometer adjustment or the brake pedal travel spec. Your customer is waiting, and your time is worth more than a stripped thread from eyeballing a torque value.
