Performance Performance: Details on engine specifications, including potential horsepower and torque figures for each model variant (H50D-H80D), are provided in Section 6. Specifics like valve clearance are covered in maintenance. Fuel System Fuel System: Diesel. Includes procedures for draining fuel system water strainer, changing fuel filters (primary and pre-filter), and bleeding the fuel system. Cleaning of fuel tank ventilation hose is also covered. Cooling System Cooling System: Radiator and engine coolant. Procedures include checking coolant level, changing coolant, checking coolant concentration, and cleaning the water cooler and hydraulic oil cooler. Air Intake System Air Intake System: Features air filter cartridge replacement, checking vacuum-operated switch, changing air filter safety cartridge, checking dust discharge valve. Includes special equipment procedures for cleaning pre-filter and oil bath air filter, and changing oil in oil bath air filter. Checking intake and exhaust pipes for leaks is also covered. Exhaust System Exhaust System: Includes information on regenerating the particle filter, checking the particle filter system (special equipment), regenerating and changing the particle filter, and draining/cleaning water traps associated with the particle filter system. Also covers cleaning the pressure control device for the particle filter system. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard: Likely a hydrostatic transmission or a robust torque converter automatic transmission, common in heavy-duty forklifts. The manual references 'dual-pedal operation' and 'single-pedal operation', indicating advanced drive control systems. Planetary transmissions are mentioned for axle components. Optional Optional: Not explicitly detailed in the product description, but variations in drive control or specific transmission components might exist. Features Features: The manual covers both dual-pedal and single-pedal operation modes for starting the engine and driving. It also details steering system and brake system operation and checks. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Exterior: Section 6 lists an 'Overview of dimensions', specific 'typesheets' for H50D, H60D, H70D, H80D, and an H 80 D/900 and H 80 D/1100 type sheet. It also provides 'Lift mast data type 195'. Weights Weights: Load capacity diagrams for various models and attachment configurations are included. Additional capacity rating plates for attachments are also mentioned, indicating specific load handling capabilities are detailed.
