Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is CR 083873 and what is its function?
A: CR 083873 is a contactor rated at 24V that controls forward direction operations in electric lift truck systems. It is a critical control component that manages the directional flow of power to the truck motors.
Q: What voltage does CR 083873 operate at?
A: CR 083873 operates at 24 volts DC, which is the standard control voltage for Crown electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment control system voltage before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: Why is the forward designation important for CR 083873?
A: The forward designation indicates that CR 083873 controls forward direction movement specifically. Electric lift trucks typically use separate contactors for forward and reverse operations. Do not substitute a reverse or multi-directional contactor for this forward-only unit.
Q: Which Crown electric lift truck models use CR 083873?
A: CR 083873 is compatible with Crown electric lift truck models that use 24V control systems. Verify your specific equipment model and serial number against Crown technical documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What symptoms indicate CR 083873 may need replacement?
A: Signs of contactor failure include loss of forward motion capability, intermittent forward operation, or no electrical response from forward controls. If forward motion does not respond consistently to operator input, CR 083873 should be tested for electrical continuity.
