Linde E 16 P Training Manual

You’ve got a Linde E 16 P forklift that’s cutting out under load, or the travel motor is pulling hard to one side. Before you start swapping parts, you need the factory training manual – not a third-party reprint that guesses the adjustment values. I’ve seen guys burn up controllers because they used aftermarket wiring diagrams. This Linde E 16 P Training Manual is 28 pages of the same document Linde gives to their own service techs. It covers the Type 322 chassis specifically.

Technical Data for the Electric Motors and Pumps

The manual opens with hard numbers for the drive motors, pump motors, and fans. Section 3.8.1 lists the 48V drive motor specs, and the steering pump assembly uses a Schabmüller D 112 motor – 48V, 27.5A, 0.9 kW at S3 27% duty cycle. Carbon brush dimensions are given: 4 pieces, 8 x 12.5 x 22 mm with allowable wear of 12 mm. That data is on page 4. If you’re pulling a motor, you need those numbers to order the right parts.

Wiring Diagrams for E 16 P Type 322

Section 3.8.2 provides multiple schematics: the main wiring diagram (Stromlaufplan) and four Wirkenschaltplan variants – series and special equipment for builds before 12/88 and after 1/89. If your serial number crosses that date, you need the correct diagram. The manual also includes pin assignments for connectors L1 and L4, and the microswitch connections for cornering travel. Without these, you’ll waste hours tracing circuits.

Battery Dimensions and Weights

Section 3.8.4 gives exact battery dimensions and weights. This matters when you replace the battery – wrong size kills balance and clearance. The manual lists the factory specs so you can match the replacement.

Electronic System Adjustments: Setting the Travel Current and Brake Current

The adjustment section (3.8.5) is where this manual earns its keep. It covers null adjustment of the travel switch U25, setting the travel current FS, handbrake current HBS, acceleration time HZ, brake current RS, and the full calibration table for the U200 control board. These aren’t guesswork – the manual gives specific target values. Adjusting the travel current without the proper procedure can overheat the motor controller. Follow the sequence: set null, then FS, then HBS, then HZ, then RS.

Repair and Assembly Notes: Carbon Brushes, Brake Pads, and Hydraulics

Section 3.8.6 walks through real repair jobs: checking and replacing carbon brushes on drive motors and steering pump, replacing brake linings, swapping the hydraulic filter, removing and installing the mast, pulling the drive motor with wheel drive, mounting a new brake disc, and steering axle service. Each step includes the order of bolts and torque sequence. If you’re pulling the motor with wheel drive, the manual shows how to support the assembly without damaging the wiring.

If you work on larger Linde trucks, the Linde H100-600, H120-1200, H140-1200, H160-600, H160-1200 2007 Training Manual follows a similar diagnostic approach for internal combustion models.

Factory training manuals like this one provide the correct specifications, unlike generic resources such as Manual Transmission which only give general theory. For cylinder head mechanics, see Cylinder Head Mechanics.

FAQ

Does this manual cover the E 16 P with the 48V system?

Yes, it covers the 48V drive motors and all electronics specific to the Type 322.

Can I use this manual for a Linde E 20 or E 25?

This is specifically for the E 16 P Type 322. The E 20, E 25, and E 30 models use different drive motors, controller cards, wiring pinouts, battery dimensions, and carbon brush sizes. Applying E 16 P adjustment values to an E 20 can damage the controller. You need the dedicated training manual for those models – see the Linde E 20, E 25, E 30 Training Manual – Factory Forklift Procedures and Linde E-Stapler E 20, E 25, E 30 Training Manual – OEM Factory Specs for those.

Your time and equipment are worth proper documentation. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it on your tablet next to the lift truck.
