1-12 Reduced maintenance cost The following particular items are inherent to the conventional electric powered models. Supplying distilled water to the battery Material handling motor brush replacement Material handling motor contactor replacement Traveling motor brush replacement Traveling motor contactor replacement The new 7FBMF model eliminates the need for brush and contactor replacement because the new AC motor does not have brushes and the new AC controller does not have contactors. The average customer can benefit from this by an annual cost savings of 69% for maintenance expenditures.

The AC induction motor generates a braking force when the vehicle is traveling with the accelerator pedal at rest. Also the electromotive force generated in the AC motor, while the accelerator pedal is released, converts the braking effect energy into electrical energy that is sent to the battery. This regenerative system increases the operation hours. At the same time, the regenerative system improves the traveling feel because it allows the operator to use less brake pedal force to slow the truck down.
Further- more, the regenerative system reduces load on the brake system, slowing down brake lining wear and decreas- ing the brake maintenance costs. 519 5 Annual Cost Sa by Eliminating 294 4 127 3 451 (460) 69 2 451 1 1 ving 69% ~
