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.
