Engine Type:
Internal Combustion Engine (Diesel for FD series, Gasoline/LPG for FG series).
Engine Manufacturer Likely:
Mitsubishi, or potentially a reputable third-party engine supplier used by Mitsubishi (e.g., Yanmar, Kubota, Isuzu for diesel; GM or similar for LPG/Gasoline).
Power Output:
Not specified in the product information, but would vary by specific engine and model capacity. Expect typical forklift power curves designed for torque at low RPM.
Torque Output:
Not specified. Crucial for lifting and low-speed maneuvering in forklifts.
Fuel Type:
Diesel (for FD series), Gasoline/LPG (for FG series).
Fuel Delivery:
Likely mechanical or electronic fuel injection for diesel, carburetor or fuel injection for gasoline/LPG.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled, typically with a radiator, fan, and coolant reservoir.
Lubrication Method:
Pressurized wet-sump system.
Transmission Type:
Likely an automatic transmission, commonly a torque converter with a powershift gearbox for industrial applications. Some models might utilize hydrostatic transmissions.
Optional Transmission Types:
Depending on the market and specific sub-model, variations in torque converter or hydrostatic options may exist.
Transmission Cooling:
Typically includes a transmission fluid cooler, often integrated with the engine's radiator or a separate unit.
Shift Control:
Lever-actuated or electronic shift control.
Overall Length:
Not specified, but typical for 4-5 ton class forklifts, varying with mast configuration.
Overall Width:
Not specified, but generally around 1.3-1.6 meters for this capacity range.
Mast Height Lowered:
Not specified, but standard mast heights range from approximately 2-3 meters.
Mast Height Raised:
Not specified, can range from 4 meters to over 6 meters depending on mast type (duplex, triplex) and configuration.
Operating Weight:
Not specified, but typically in the range of 6,000 - 8,000 kg for 4-5 ton capacity forklifts.
Load Capacity:
Nominal capacities of 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500 lbs (or equivalent kg) as indicated by model numbers.

Steering System:
Full hydrostatic power steering for precise control and reduced operator fatigue.
Operator Protection:
Overhead guard (OHG) is standard; optional full cabin with weather protection and integrated safety features.
Operator Restraint:
Seatbelt is a standard safety feature.
Operator Interface:
Basic dashboard with essential indicators (engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, battery charge), hour meter, and warning lights. Advanced infotainment is not typically a feature of industrial forklifts of this era.
Operator Aid Features:
Audible alarms (horn), backup alarms, work lights, safety seat interlock (engine may shut off if operator leaves seat without engaging parking brake).

Not explicitly mentioned as a standard feature for this model generation, but some may have provisions for aftermarket telematics or fleet management systems.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type used.
Hydraulic Filter Replacement:
Generally recommended every 1000-2000 operating hours or as per diagnostic checks.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Often recommended around 1000-2000 operating hours, or when specified by fluid analysis.
Air Filter Replacement:
As needed, based on operating environment (e.g., dusty conditions require more frequent checks/replacement), typically inspected every 250 hours.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Commonly SAE 15W-40 for diesel engines, or SAE 10W-30/15W-40 for gasoline/LPG engines. Specific grade to be confirmed by manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
ISO VG 32 or VG 46 hydraulic oil is common. Specific type and viscosity to be confirmed by manual.
Transmission Fluid Type:
ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or specialized heavy-duty transmission fluid. Specific type (e.g., DEXRON III/VI equivalent) to be confirmed by manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify approved types.

Potential Engine Issues:
Overheating due to cooling system issues, clogged fuel filters, exhaust leaks, carbon buildup in diesel engines.
Potential Transmission Issues:
Slipping gears, delayed engagement, overheating due to low fluid levels or internal wear. Torque converter issues can arise.
