Description
General
This section covers the description of the KORDEL
master drive unit. It also covers removal, disassem-
bly, assembly, and installation procedures. The trac-
tion motor and steering repair procedures are in sep-
arate service manuals. This service manual focuses
on the main parts of the MDU, which are the upper
and lower sections, pinion (motor) and large (helical)
gear set, the pinion and spiral bevel gear set, roller
bearings, and the axle and wheel.
NOTE:
Some A1.00-1.50XL (A20-30XL) units come
equipped with an MDU manufactured by ZF
GOTHA. The service manuals listed below pro-
vide information on how to repair the ZF MDU along
with the traction motor and steering system.
• Master Drive Unit (ZF) 630 SRM 794
• DC Motor Maintenance 620 SRM 294
• Steering System 1600 SRM 796
The two types of MDUs used in the manufacturing
of this lift truck do have some minor mechanical dif-
ferences, but are similar in form, fit, and function.
However, when repairing or replacing parts on the
MDU, do not use parts from one model of MDU on
the other MDU.
Description
The transmission (MDU) is a steered drive that uti-
lizes bevel and helical gears in order to propel the lift
truck. See Figure 1 and Figure 2. The MDU has a to-
tal gear ratio of 20:37.
The general operating procedure of the MDU consists
of a ground bevel gear set forming the crown wheel
and pinion which drives the wheel shaft. A further
reduction occurs between the motor pinion gear and
the first helical gear, which in turn drive the crown
wheel and pinion.
The MDU is composed of two main components: the
upper section and the lower section. See Figure 1.
UPPER SECTION
The upper section is made up of two parts. The first
part is the centering (or mounting) ring. This ring
fits on the cover plate (the second part of the upper
section) and is the mounting platform for the traction
motor. The cover plate is also in the form of a ring,
but with a rectangular-shaped bottom. This bottom
is in the same shape and size as the top portion of
the lower section because it covers the gears that are
housed in this part of the lower section.
The upper section performs three functions within
the MDU. The first function is to hold the traction
motor in place. The second function is to bring to-
gether the lower section and traction motor as one
unit, allowing this unit to be attached to the lift truck
frame. The third function performed by the upper
section is to cover and protect the roller bearings and
gears that allow the MDU to turn with the lift truck.

Steering is performed by the steering control unit.
See service manual Steering Control Unit 1600
SRM 797 for more information about this function.
The steering control unit uses a combination of a hy-
draulic motor, chain, and gear set to turn the lift
truck in all directions.
LOWER SECTION
The lower section houses several roller bearings,
gears, and a gear shaft. The spline on the end of the
motor armature turns the pinion gear mounted in
the upper section of the MDU.

Check and Change Transmission Oil
Check and Change Transmission Oil
WARNING
After a long period of operation, transmission
oil becomes very hot. Use heat-resistant gloves
to protect against serious burns and other in-
juries.
The MDU assembly has one oil compartment. See
Figure 6. It is recommended that after 500 hours of
initial operation, the oil be changed. After the ini-
tial service, the oil needs to checked and changed af-
ter every 2000 hours of operation. The amount of
oil used is 4.2 liter (4.4 qt). Access to the filler in-
let screw is gained by removing the tow pin from its
slot on the counterweight. Turn the MDU counter-
clockwise until the inlet screw and hole become visi-
ble through the tow pin slot. To drain and change the
gear oil, do the following.
1.
Remove the inlet screw.
2.
Position a suitable oil catch container under-
neath the oil outlet screw. The container must
have a capacity of at least 5 liter (5.3 qt).
3.
Remove the oil outlet screw and seal ring.
4.
Allow the gear oil to fully drain into an appropri-
ate container for at least 5 minutes.
5.
Clean magnet on the oil outlet screw and reinsert
the screw with a new seal ring. Tighten the screw
to 22 N•m (16.23 lbf ft).
6.
Fill the MDU with new gear oil. A small hand
pump may be needed to feed the oil in under pres-
sure due to the viscosity of the oil. The correct oil
level is achieved when it is level with the lip of
the oil inlet hole. During filling, make sure that
air does not become trapped within the transmis-
sion. Trapped air can be removed by turning the
wheel shaft.
7.
Insert the oil inlet screw together with a new seal
ring into the oil inlet hole and tighten to 22 N•m
(16.23 lbf ft).

Tooth Contact Pattern Adjustment
630 SRM 795
Tooth Contact Pattern Adjustment
See Table 1 on for information on how to adjust and
correct the tooth contact pattern of the bevel gear set.
Also, Figure 2 and Figure 5 can be referenced for the
locations of the shims and bevel gear set.
Table 1. Tooth Contact Pattern
Step 1. The correct preloading of the taper
roller bearings is established by changing
the thickness of the shim and spacer (38 and
28 in Figure 2).
Step 2. To set the correct tooth contact
pattern at the bevel gear set, first apply
marking ink to the gears and rotate them
until the pattern is visible.
Correct Contact Pattern
Step 3. Compare the contact pattern
with the information below. To correct the
pattern, change the thickness of the shims
(35 and 36 in Figure 2).
Wrong Tooth Contact Pattern
Tip Contact
The spiral bevel pinion is too far from the
center of the spiral bevel gear.
Base Contact
The spiral bevel pinion is too close to the
center of the spiral bevel gear.
Inner Contact
The spiral bevel pinion is too far from the
center of the spiral bevel pinion.
Outer Contact
The spiral bevel pinion is too far from the
center of the spiral bevel pinion.
