Engine Manufacturer:
Mitsubishi (likely)
Engine Displacement:
Typically in the range of 2.0L to 3.3L, depending on the specific model (FD100NM1 series likely smaller displacement than FD150ANM1 series).
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 40-70 HP, calibrated for torque and lifting power rather than high RPM.
Torque Emphasis:
Engines are optimized for low-end torque essential for lifting heavy loads and maintaining stability.
Fuel System Type:
Direct injection diesel fuel system.

10,000 lbs (FD100NM1) to 15,000 lbs (FD150ANM1).
Mast Configurations:
Likely available in various mast types (e.g., Duplex, Triplex) offering different lift heights and lowered mast heights for warehouse clearance.
Fork Dimensions:
Standard industrial forklift fork sizes apply (e.g., 48" or 54" length, specific width and thickness depend on capacity).
Operating Weight:
Varies significantly with capacity and configuration, but typically in the range of 10,000 - 15,000 lbs (approx. 4,500 - 6,800 kg) without load.
Safety Design:
Built to meet industrial safety standards. The manual emphasizes operator safety and tipover prevention as primary concerns.
Operator Safety Focus:
The manual dedicates significant sections to safe operating practices and hazard avoidance, underscoring safety as a paramount concern for industrial equipment.

Passive Safety Features:
Operator overhead guard (OHG), seatbelt, robust frame construction.
Infotainment System:
N/A (Industrial equipment, no infotainment system).
Driver Assistance Features:
Focuses on basic operational controls and safety features like Operator Presence System (OPS), rather than advanced electronic driver aids.
Connectivity Features:
N/A (Industrial equipment, no connectivity features).
Daily Checks:
Engine oil level, coolant level, hydraulic oil level, tire condition, brake operation, horn, lights, general inspection for leaks or damage.
Hourly Checks:
Check and top-up fluids, inspect mast rollers, lubricate specified points (refer to manual for precise intervals like 250, 500, 1000 hours).
Filter Replacement Intervals:
Engine oil filter, fuel filter, hydraulic filter, air filter replacement typically recommended every 250-500 operating hours, or as indicated by service codes.
Major Service Intervals:
Engine overhaul, transmission service, and hydraulic system flushing typically recommended every 2000-4000 operating hours or as performance dictates. Manual will detail specific intervals.
Engine Oil Type:
API CI-4 or higher rated diesel engine oil, viscosity typically SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature. Consult manual for exact OEM specification.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific automatic transmission fluid (ATF), likely Dexron-III equivalent or a Mitsubishi approved equivalent. Capacity varies by model, typically 10-15 liters.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
ISO VG 32 or VG 46 hydraulic oil, or a Mitsubishi approved equivalent. Capacity varies, typically 20-30 liters.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant mixture (50/50 with distilled water). Check manual for specific OEM additive requirements.
Brake Fluid Type:
Typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 automotive brake fluid, but specific recommendation should be confirmed from the manual.
Known Issues:
Common issues on older diesel forklifts can include injector wear, glow plug failure, cooling system leaks, hydraulic system leaks (hoses, seals), brake component wear, and electrical connection corrosion. The manual provides guidance for diagnosing and resolving these.
Lubrication Points:
Mast channels, lift cylinder bearings, steer axle kingpins, drive axle splines, various pivot points. Manual specifies grease type and intervals.
Brand Heritage:
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has a long history in heavy engineering and manufacturing. Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks is a recognized brand known for its industrial equipment.
Model Evolution:
The NM1 series represents a generation of Mitsubishi diesel forklifts, building upon previous designs with enhancements in performance, operator comfort, and reliability. Specific model designations (NM1, NM1S, ANM1) likely indicate variations in features, capacity, or emissions compliance.
Production Period:
These models (NM1/NM1S/ANM1) were likely produced in the late 1990s through the 2000s, preceding more recent EPA/Tier emission compliant models.
