Do not work from the side of the tyre.
• Always use the specified tyre of KOMATSU FORKLIFT, and
observe the specified tyre inflation pressure. For the right tyre
inflation pressure, see "4.16 SERVICE DATA (PAGE 4-55)".
• When filling up the tyres, make sure no one is around and use
a clip-on air chuck that can be fixed to the air valve. Fill up the
tyre while checking with an air gauge to avoid over inflation.
• The rim will not " fit " the tyre if either the tyre or rim is defective,
or if it is not properly assembled. To fit, the rim must contact with
the tyre evenly around the circumference. Contact your
KOMATSU FORKLIFT distributor.
2.6.19 CAUTION IN WASTE DISPOSAL

Take full cautions for waste disposal to prevent environment
pollution.
• Always drain waste fluid such as oil, fuel, coolant and battery
electrolyte into containers like cans and tanks. (Do not drain the
battery electrolyte into metallic containers. Always use plastic
containers.) Do not pour on the ground or into rivers, drains,

2.7 HOISTING AND TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK SAFETY
2.7 HOISTING AND TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK 2
2.7.1 CAUTION WHEN HOISTING THE LIFT TRUCK 2
• Never lift up by the overhead guard.

• Before lifting-up, Check that the mounting bolts of mast and
counterbalance-weight are tightened to the specified torque.
Tightening torque for the counterbalance-weight mount bolts
: 980 - 1,373Nm {100 - 140kgfm}
Tightening torque for the mast lower mount bolts
: 824 - 1,030Nm {84 - 105kgfm}
• To hoist the lift truck, hook on the holes on the top of the outer
mast for the front, and the hole on the top of the counterbalance-
weight for the rear.
• Do not go under the lifted truck.
• Use undamaged wire having sufficient strength. For the hoisting
of lift truck, see "4.12 HOISTING LIFT TRUCK (PAGE 4-47)".
2.7.2 PRECAUTIONS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING THE LIFT TRUCK 2
Loading and unloading a lift truck to and from a trailer always

involve a hazard of the lift truck tipping over or falling off by
handling error. Follow the instructions below:
• Stop the trailer on level, flat road. Always apply parking brake.
Apply blocks to the tyres. Ramp
• Use ramps or dock plate of appropriate length, width and
strength. Secure it tightly to prevent it from being dislocated or
disengaged.
• Take a right posture on the seat while operating. Blocks
• If you operate the lift truck in such a posture that your weight is
not properly applied to the seat, like standing up or leaning
forward or sideways, travel interlock activates to cut off the
transmission of engine power. Then the lift truck may slither
down even if the accelerator pedal is stepped on or an uphill.
Operate the lift truck assisted by a signal person if necessary so
that you don't have to stand up or lean forward or sideways to
watch. For more details on the function of travel interlocking, see
(PAGE 3-30)".
• When using the ramps, set them in gentle gradient, align the
center of both the trailer and the lift truck and lock securely to
prevent misalignment.
• Do not change the course of the lift truck while on the ramps. If
course change is needed, move off the ramps once and make
another uphill travel on them in right direction.

SAFETY 2.8 STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK (TO PREVENT LIFT TRUCK FROM TIPPING)
2.8 STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK (TO PREVENT

LIFT TRUCK FROM TIPPING) 2
To operate the lift truck safely, it is important to understand the structure and stability of the lift truck.
2.8.1 LONGITUDINAL STABILITY 2
• The front wheels of the lift truck act as a fulcrum, and the load
weight and the weight on the rear wheels are kept in balance to
prevent the lift truck from falling forward.
• When an overbalanced load weight is applied, the rear wheels Load
will be raised off the ground. It is very dangerous and poses a
high risk of serious accident like tipping over.
Weight on
Load weight Fulcrum the rear wheels
2.8.2 CENTER OF GRAVITY OF A LOAD 2
• The shapes of loads carried by lift trucks vary from boxes to planks and long objects.
• To judge the stability of the lift truck, it is important to determine the position of the center of gravity for loads of
various shapes.
Center of gravity Center of gravity

2.8 STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK (TO PREVENT LIFT TRUCK FROM TIPPING) SAFETY
2.8.3 COMBINED CENTER OF GRAVITY AND STABILITY ON THE LOADED LIFT TRUCK 2
COMBINED CENTER OF GRAVITY

The center of gravity of the loaded lift truck shifts to a combined Combined center of gravity at
high lifting height Center of gravity
center of gravity of both the lift truck and the load. When the load of load
is raised, its center of gravity will rise, hence the combined center
Combined center of
of gravity will also rise. gravity at low lifting
height
Center of gravity of
lift truck
COMBINED CENTER OF GRAVITY AND STABILITY

The higher the position of the center of gravity, the worse the
longitudinal and lateral stabilities become. In addition, swaying or
shock encountered during traveling or load handling will have a
larger impact on the stability of the lift truck.
Stability of the lift truck also changes depending on the following
factors.
• Size, weight, shape of load (position of center of gravity etc.)
• Lifting height
• Tilting angle of mast
• Inflation pressure of tyres
• Acceleration, deceleration and turning speed when traveling
and load handling
• Road condition and gradient
• Type of attachments
Do not travel with the forks (load) raised. Do not make sharp turns
or apply sudden brakes. Do not raise or tilt the forks abruptly. There
are dangerous and poses a high risk of serious accident like
tipping over.
2.8.4 ACTUAL CAPACITY 2
• The horizontal distance from the position of the center of gravity

of a load on the forks to the upright load backrest of the fork is
called a load center. Actual capacity means the maximum
weight of a load that can be loaded at a certain load center.
• The load table is given in the name plate accessible from the
operator's seat. The table shows the relationship between the
actual capacity and load center.
• When the load center shifts toward the fork tips, the load weight
(mass) has to be decreased in the actual operation to maintain
the balance. Load center: Small Load center: Large
Load : Large Load : Small

2.8.5 SERIAL NO. AND LOAD TABLE 2
A serial No. plate for lift trucks of the US specifications differs from the one shown above in the shape.
Since actual conditions will vary, be sure to check your capacity rating being adequate for the particular job before
beginning.
If you are unsure at the capacity, please contact your employer for assistance.
EXPLANATION OF LOAD TABLE

• In the load table of the serial No. plate, actual capacity and
maximum load (2) are shown in relation to load center (1).
• Actual capacity and maximum load are determined according to
each model on the condition of the specifications shown in area
(3).
• Before loading, make sure that the load center and the load are
well within the range of capacity.
• When the load is in a complex shape, pull the load so that the
heaviest portion of the load comes to closer to the load backrest
and the lateral center comes to the two forks center.
• Should a load be loaded beyond the range of capacity, it would
pose a big danger to the lift truck as the rear wheels (for
steering) may lift off the ground, letting the operator lose control
of steering, or the lift truck may tip over. Always keep the load
within the range of capacity.
• Work within the specification ranges given in the serial No. plate
attached to the lift truck. Replace the broken or unreadable
serial No. plate. Call your KOMATSU FORKLIFT distributor for a
new serial No. plate.

high mast has a smaller maximum capacity and actual capacity
than the standard truck.
• Follow the load limit as indicated in the load table of the serial
No. plate.
LOAD TABLE AND LOAD CAPACITY FOR DETACHABLE AND INSERT-TYPE ATTACHMENTS
• For some detachable attachments, additional load table is
provided at a certain place of the lift truck. In this case, follow the
instructions in the table when installing such an attachment.
• For insert-type bucket and fork extension sleeve, calculate the
capacity as follows: Subtract the weight of insert-type bucket or

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 4.4 SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
4.4 SIMPLE MAINTENANCE 4
4.4.1 GREASES AND FUEL 4
4.4.1.1 BASIC PRECAUTIONS 4
When refilling greases according to " Start-up inspection " and/or "
Checking after operation ", do so by understanding the following
basic cautions for required greases.
OIL
CAUTION
• When checking leakage from hydraulic piping or hose, do not touch it
directly by hand. The pipe or hose may be pressurized and can be
dangerous.
• If your skin and/or eye are injured by high-pressure oil, wash the skin/eye
with fresh water and immediately see a physician.
• For other than leakage that can be checked visually by the appearance,
call your KOMATSU FORKLIFT distributor for inspection and repair
service.
• Since engine oil, hydraulic oil, TORQFLOW transmission oil,

gear oil, etc. are used under severe conditions (at high
temperature and high pressure), they deteriorate as the
operation time passes. Therefore oil must be changed
periodically. For the standard oil change intervals, see "OIL
AND GREASING CHART (PAGE 4-24)" and "LUBRICANT
LIST (PAGE 4-25)".
• Always replace oil at the specified period even if not
deteriorated.
• Always use Genuine Engine oil. At shipment from a plant, the lift
truck is applied with those listed in the "LUBRICANT LIST
(PAGE 4-25)".
• Never mix oils of different grade (class) or brand.
• A lift truck should be maintained so that contaminants (water,
metal chips, dust, etc.) do not enter the lift truck system. Most lift
truck malfunctions are caused by entry of impurities such as dirt,
dust, water, etc. Take special care to avoid entry of impurities
during storage and lubrication, etc.
• Add specified volume of oil. Insufficient or excessive amounts of
oil may both cause problems.
• If the hydraulic oil has become murky, there is a possibility that
either air or water entered into the circuit. If no corrective
measures were taken, it may damage the lift truck. In such a
case, call your KOMATSU FORKLIFT distributor for their
service.
• When replacing oil, replace the relevant filters at the same time.
For oil and filter changes, contact your KOMATSU FORKLIFT
distributor for service.
4 - 21
4.4 SIMPLE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
FUEL
CAUTION
Always use diesel oil for the fuel.
To ensure good fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust gas characteristics, the engine mounted on this machine uses an
electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection device. This device requires high precision parts and lubrication, so if low
viscosity fuel with low lubricating ability is used, the durability may drop markedly.
• At the end of the day's work, fill the fuel tank to full. Reducing the air inside the fuel tank helps reduce mixture
in the fuel of condensed moisture from the air.
• Since the fuel pump is a precision machine, it may fail to operate if fuel containing moisture and/or impurities is
used. Take special care to avoid entry of moisture and impurities during storage and lubrication.
• Always use fuel of appropriate grade from among those listed in the "LUBRICANT LIST (PAGE 4-25)".
• When a diesel engine runs out of fuel or has its filters replaced, the fuel circuit has to be purged.
COOLING WATER (COOLANT AND DILUTED WATER)
CAUTION
• After the engine stops, the coolant temperature is very high, and high pressure is accumulated inside the radiator. Do not
remove the radiator cap under these conditions or it may cause burns. After the coolant temperature has gone down, turn the
cap slowly to release the pressure before removing it.
• Undiluted Supercoolant is flammable. So keep it away from open flame.
• Dilute the coolant according to the ambient temperature before applying to the radiator. Use distilled or soft water for dilution.
Hard water contains high mineral contents (calcium and magnesium). These contents are deposited inside the radiator as
water stain and scale, causing an overheat of engine. They are difficult to remove. For the radiator, it is recommended to use
diluted water having total hardness of 100 ppm (mg/l) or under.
• This lift truck is filled with Genuine Supercoolant (FAF-NAC). This Supercoolant has other important function as the corrosion
inhibitor of the cooling system than antifreeze function.
Continue to use this Supercoolant in an area where antifreeze is not required.
Using other brand of coolant may cause critical failure to the cooling system including the engine.
• Genuine Supercoolant is good for continual use for two years or 4,000 service hours.
• Apply different mixing ratio for the Supercoolant according to the outside temperature.
For the right mixing ratio, see "4.6 RUNNING IN COLD WEATHER (PAGE 4-39)".
• Shortage of coolant causes engine overheating and corrosive defect of cooling circuit due to the mixing of the air.
4 - 22
GREASE
• Grease prevents the joints from seizure, rusting and noise emission.
• Always use recommended grease and strictly follow the greasing intervals. For the type of grease, see the
"LUBRICANT LIST (PAGE 4-25)".
• Wipe clean old grease extracted after greasing. Wipe grease off with particular care from sections where
attached sands and dirt promote the wear of the rotating units.
FILTERS
• Filters are very important items which prevent impurities contained in the oil, fuel and hydraulic circuits from
entering important machine components to cause failure. They require periodical replacement. Call your
KOMATSU FORKLIFT distributor for service.
• Never have your lift truck parts changed by other than. Never reuse filters (cartridge type) after washing.
• Always use Genuine Filters.
NOTICE
• Special filter of high-efficiency filtration property is adopted for the Genuine Fuel filter cartridges. Always use Genuine Parts
for replacement.
• The common rail fuel injection system adopted for the machine is configured with components of higher accuracy compared
with conventional injection pumps and nozzles. Using other fuel filter cartridges than Genuine Parts may cause mixing of
foreign matters, leading to a failure of injection system. Never use substitute parts.
• For inspection and maintenance of the fuel system, more care should be given for the mixing of foreign matters than before.
Attached dirt, if any, must be fully washed off using fuel.
• Some of commercial filters are inferior to the genuine product in performance. Using such filters may affect performance and
durability of the fork truck. If genuine Komatsu Utility products are not used, quality assurance may not apply.

The work of loading and unloading a lift truck on a trailer always involves a
hazard that the lift truck tips over or falls off if you make a mistake in
handling.
Strictly follow the instructions shown below.
• Stop the trailer on level, flat road surface. Apply parking brake without
fail and apply blocks to the tyres.
• Use ramps or dock plate of sufficient length, width and sufficient
strength. Secure it tightly to prevent it from being dislocated or
disengaged.
• Take a right posture on the seat while operating.
• If you operate the lift truck in a posture that your weight is not properly
applied to the seat, like standing up or leaning forward or sideways,
travel interlock functions to cut off the transmission of engine power.
Then the lift truck may slither down if the accelerator pedal is stepped on
an uphill or a slope. Operate the lift truck assisted by a signal person if
necessary so that you don't have to stand up or lean forward or sideways
to watch. For more details on the function of travel interlocking, see
"TRAVEL INTERLOCK (ENGINE POWER CUTOFF) (OPTION) (PAGE 3-
30)".
• When using the ramp, make the gradient gentle, align the center of both
the trailer and the lift truck and lock the ramp securely to prevent
misalignment.
• Never correct the course of the lift truck while on the ramps. If course
change is required, move off the ramps once and correct the course
direction.
1. Arrange for a trailer having adequate loading capacity for the

weight and size of a lift truck to transport.
2. Stop the trailer on level, flat road surface. Apply parking brake
without fail and apply blocks to the tyres.
3. Install the ramp, dock plate, etc. between the loading platform Ramp
of the trailer and the road surface and fix it securely so that it
would not be disengaged.
4. Instruct the trailer operator not to move the trailer until loading/
unloading of lift truck is completed. Blocks
5. When loading/unloading a lift truck to or from the trailer, drive
the lift truck at slow speed by sitting on the seat with right
posture.
6. To prevent a loaded lift truck from moving during
transportation, apply blocks to the tyres and secure it with wire
rope and/or chain before starting the trailer.

4.15 PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
4.15 PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS 4
For your safety use of lift trucks, you are requested to always implement periodic replacement of parts listed in the
Periodic Replacement of Safety Critical Parts below related particularly to the safety and fires.
The material of these parts may change over time, or may easily wear or deteriorate. However, as it is difficult to
judge the condition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, they should always be replaced after a fixed time
has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that their full function is always maintained.
However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they should be repaired
or replaced immediately.
If the hose clamps show any sign of deterioration such as deformation or cracking, replace them with the hoses
at the same time.
Note that the periodic replacement is not covered by warranty.
