Digital Format:
PDF (Portable Document Format)
Required Software:
Adobe PDF Reader and WinZip (or similar decompression utility).
Operating Systems:
Compatible with all versions of Windows and macOS.
Digital Quality:
High-resolution scans, often sourced from original factory manuals, ensuring clarity of text and diagrams.
Engine Options:
Likely included Daihatsu's robust diesel engines (e.g., 2.8L 4 সিলিন্ডার diesel) and potentially some petrol variants, depending on market. Specific engine codes like DL, DM, or similar would be detailed in the manual.
Typical Horsepower Range:
Diesel engines typically produced between 70-90 hp, petrol variants may vary. Precise figures depend on specific engine code.
Typical Torque Range:
Diesel engines provided strong low-end torque, crucial for off-road driving and towing. Figures often in the 150-200 Nm range.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely featured diesel indirect injection or mechanical fuel injection systems. Petrol variants would use carburetion or early fuel injection.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000-10,000 km or 6 months, depending on driving conditions and engine type (diesel intervals may be longer).
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 20,000-40,000 km, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API CD or CE for diesel engines, viscosity grades like 10W-30 or 15W-40. Petrol engines would use API SG or SH equivalents.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Given the age and off-road nature, common issues can include worn suspension bushings, exhaust system corrosion, clutch wear, and potential turbocharger issues (if fitted).
Engine Specific Concerns:
Diesel engines might experience glow plug issues, injector pump wear, or overheating if the cooling system is neglected.
Daihatsu Specialization:
Daihatsu is known for producing compact and rugged vehicles, often with a strong emphasis on utility and affordability.
Fourtrak Legacy:
The Fourtrak (also known as Rocky in some markets) was Daihatsu's primary offering in the SUV segment during this period, building on a reputation for off-road prowess.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily manufactured in Japan.
