Horsepower Range:
Typically ranging from 40-75 HP (approx. 30-56 kW) for this class of forklift, depending on the specific model and engine variant.
Torque Specifications:
Detailed torque specifications for engine components, fasteners, and assemblies will be present in the manual.
Fuel Delivery:
Details on fuel pumps, injectors, carburetors (if applicable), fuel filters, and fuel lines.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled system, including radiator, coolant hoses, water pump, thermostat, and fan operation.
Lubrication Type:
Wet sump lubrication system, detailing oil pump, oil filter, oil passages, and oil cooler (if equipped).
Type:
Automatic transmission, likely a torque converter automatic (AT) designed for industrial applications, optimized for lifting and maneuvering.
Variations:
While the primary transmission is likely automatic, specific model variants might exist. The manual would cover any such variations.
Drive Systems:
Details on drive axles, differential, and final drives for transmitting power to the wheels.
Fluid Requirements:
Specific transmission fluid types (e.g., ATF - Automatic Transmission Fluid) and capacities will be detailed.
Lift Height:
Varies by model and mast configuration, typically from around 3 meters to over 6 meters. Specific heights will be detailed in the manual.
Load Capacity:
Models indicate capacities from 3500 lbs (approx. 1588 kg) up to 7000 lbs (approx. 3175 kg). Exact capacities for each model are essential for safe operation.
Overall Width:
Specific to each model, but typically around 1.2-1.5 meters. The 'SWB' (Short Wheelbase) designation implies a more compact footprint.
Operating Weight:
Will vary significantly based on model and configuration, typically from 4,000 kg to 6,000 kg or more. Detailed weights for each variant are crucial for transport and stability calculations.
Wheelbase:
Different wheelbase configurations (e.g., SWB) will affect turning radius and stability. Specific dimensions will be in the manual.
Design Standards:
Adherence to relevant industry safety standards for forklift design and operation (e.g., ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 in the US, EN standards in Europe).
Operator Presence System:
Likely includes an operator presence system (OPS) that prevents hydraulic functions and drive if the operator is not seated.
Braking Systems:
Dual brake circuits, parking brake, and potentially power-assisted braking systems for reliable stopping.
Overhead Guard:
Standard overhead guard to protect the operator from falling loads.
Seat Belt:
Operator seat belt for enhanced safety.
Mast Safety:
Details on mast tilt locks and safety latches for secure load holding.
Operator Interface:
Focuses on functional operator interfaces rather than typical infotainment. This includes dashboard indicators, warning lights, and control levers.
Operational Aids:
Features like load capacity indicators, tilt angle indicators, and potentially integrated scale systems (depending on specific options).
Telematics Readiness:
Modern forklifts may be equipped or prepared for telematics systems for fleet management, which could be detailed if the manual covers advanced features.

Coolant:
Type of antifreeze/coolant (e.g., ethylene glycol-based) and the correct mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50 with distilled water) will be specified.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Designation for hydraulic fluid (e.g., ISO VG 32 or 46) and its capacity will be provided.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific type of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and its capacity will be detailed.
Common Wear Items:
The manual will likely address common wear items such as mast rollers, lift chains, fork wear, brake pad/shoe wear, and tire wear, providing inspection and replacement procedures.
