Engine Types:
This manual covers the specific engines used in the Hyundai 15LC-7, 18LC-7, and 20LC-7 forklift models. While not explicitly detailed here, these models typically utilize robust diesel engines known for their reliability in demanding industrial environments. Common engine manufacturers for this class of forklift include Cummins, Yanmar, or Hyundai's own proprietary diesel engines. Specific engine models and configurations (e.g., displacement, horsepower) would be detailed within the manual.
Power Output:
Specific horsepower and torque figures for each engine variant are detailed in the manual, crucial for understanding load capacity and operational performance.
Injection System:
Typically common rail direct injection (CRDI) or older mechanical injection systems, depending on the specific engine variant and manufacturing era. Manual will detail specific injection system components and procedures.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled, typically featuring a radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat. Manual will detail coolant types and capacities.
Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil conforming to specific API or manufacturer specifications (e.g., CI-4, CJ-4). Manual will specify exact viscosity grades and API classifications.
Major Components:
Cylinder block, cylinder head, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft, fuel injectors, glow plugs, turbocharger (if equipped).
Type:
Automatic transmission, likely a hydrostatic transmission or torque converter automatic specifically designed for heavy-duty forklift applications. The manual will provide detailed schematics and repair procedures for the specific transmission type installed in each model.
Optional Types:
While the primary transmission is usually standard, variations might exist based on specific configurations or regional markets. The manual will cover all provided transmission options.
Shift Control:
Typically lever or joystick controlled for forward, neutral, and reverse selection. Manual details operation and maintenance of the control linkage.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specialized automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or hydraulic fluid, depending on the transmission design. Manual will specify exact fluid type, viscosity, and capacity.
Overall Dimensions:
Exact dimensions (length, width, height) vary by model capacity (15LC-7, 18LC-7, 20LC-7) and mast configuration. The manual provides detailed specifications and drawings for each variant.
Operating Weight:
Operational weight will differ based on the specific model (15LC-7, 18LC-7, 20LC-7) and any optional equipment. The manual will list the exact operating weight and curb weight for each configuration.
Load Capacity:
Rated load capacities are 15,000 lbs (approx. 6,800 kg) for the 15LC-7, 18,000 lbs (approx. 8,165 kg) for the 18LC-7, and 20,000 lbs (approx. 9,070 kg) for the 20LC-7. The manual covers all aspects related to maintaining these capacities.
Safety Standards:
Compliance with relevant ANSI/ITSDF (formerly HMI) standards for forklift safety, including stability and operator protection. The manual will detail safety features and operational guidelines.
