Smooth Hydrostatic SteeringAdvanced hydrostatic power steering is designed to help

reduce steering wheel kickback. The hydraulic fluid

system, which uses fewer parts and no mechanical linkages,

is also designed to deliver smooth, reliable performance.

Positive ControlIn the steer axle, king pins are supported by self-aligning

tapered roller bearings that can help reduce maintenance

needs and wear that can lead to steering drift and

component damage in other systems. Additionally, a

special priority valve helps ensure needed oil flow to

the steering pump in order to provide the operator with

positive control under lift and tilt operations.

5

Efficient BrakingThe reliable, non-boosted brake system

requires nominal foot pressure. Problem-prone

components are eliminated, helping to reduce

maintenance requirements.

Reliability

Powerful, Reliable EngineThe Mitsubishi 4G63 (2.0L) and 4G64 (2.4L) engines help

deliver long and reliable performance. They are among

the industry’s smoother, quieter-running engines because

of their dynamically balanced crankshaft and other

components. A five-main bearing design adds strength

and long service life. Cross-flow valve ports help create

efficient “engine breathing,” which results in low

emissions and excellent fuel economy. In addition, a

pusher fan is teamed with a square wave radiator to

help prevent radiator clogging and to maintain effective

engine cooling. A filtered, full flow lubrication system also

helps optimize engine protection.

Noise And Vibration SuppressorsFor a more productive operator environment, sound and

vibration suppressors are used throughout the truck.

These include a sound barrier below the seat, a thick

rubber floor mat, a rubber-mounted steering console,

special vibration-absorbing engine mounts, a silent-

running nylon cooling fan, and a double-insulated muffler.

6

The rubber

floor mat helps

suppress vibration.

Powershift TransmissionThe powershift transmission, complete with torque

converter, helps make handling easier. It features an

inching valve designed to make load positioning

smoother and more precise at slower speeds, and

it provides on-the-go direction change capability at

speeds up to 2.5 mph. For added performance, an

accumulator valve helps to ensure smooth power

take-up during transmission reversals, for reduced

shock loading and longer service life. Productivity

Productivity

Easy-Access StepThe conveniently positioned, open-step frame and handy

grab bar help make entering and exiting the truck easier.

Stainless steel plates help provide a sure-footed surface

and can be removed for cleaning if necessary.

Easy Engine AccessThe entire engine compartment is accessible for quick

inspection and maintenance. A push-button latch releases

the engine cover and seat assembly, which are raised and

held in an upright position by a gas-assist spring. In

addition, no tools are needed to remove the floor plate.

Good Visibility Visibility is critical to the operation of a forklift

truck because visibility promotes productivity. Good

visibility is achieved with narrow mast channel

flanges, as viewed from the operator’s perspective.

Channel webs are deep to provide needed strength

and unique cross-members give torsional rigidity.

For smoothness, each primary lift cylinder is

equipped with a unique piston design which

hydraulically cushions the transition of the mast

when it lowers into the free-lift phase. For

reliability, each lift cylinder has an internal drain

which helps eliminate the chance of oil leaks

associated with an external drain line.

On Triplex masts, the chain and hose routings are

concealed behind the mast channels and square

fork bars allow for visibility through the carriage.

10

Everything Within ReachOperators can use the standard tray on the engine

cover to clip job tickets, pick lists, and other

papers, plus there are two storage compartments

to hold pens, markers, special tools, and other

items. A non-tip beverage holder also helps guard

against spills.

Monitoring FunctionsMounted on the steering column, the instrument

panel tilts with the wheel. Included are gauges for

engine coolant temperature, hour meter, and fuel

level; and lights for transmission oil temperature,

low brake fluid level, engine oil pressure warning,

and alternator charging.

Infinite Tilt-Wheel PositioningWith the smooth, gas-operated tilt steering wheel,

an operator can choose a preferred comfortable wheel

position from over a full five inches of movement. There

are no limiting factory presets. In its full forward position,

the wheel also allows for easy, unobstructed entry and

exit from the truck.

Comfort-Stretch Seat BeltOur resilient, comfort-stretch seat belt helps operators

turn more easily for reverse travel.

11

Contoured SeatThe specially designed operator’s seat delivers comfort

and helps reduce fatigue. A molded seat-back lip gives

extra leverage to relieve arm and body stress when

traveling in a reverse direction. The bottom cushion is

bolstered at the sides for thigh support. The supple back

cushion provides critical lumbar support over a long day.

The two-piece seat design allows change-out of either

the seat or back cushion, saving unnecessary and

costly replacement of the entire seat assembly.

The seat back folds forward by releasing a

pring-loaded pin.
