Additional Notes

  • All five KDF models paired with the Kipor KM493T engine share an identical cooling system capacity of 10 liters, indicating a uniform engine cooling architecture across the KDF15, KDF20, KDF25, KDF30, and KDF35 variants.
  • A 10-liter cooling system capacity is relatively substantial for an industrial forklift engine, reflecting the thermal demands of sustained warehouse or yard operation where engine loads remain high for extended periods.
  • The coolant change interval is set at 24 months across all five configurations under normal use conditions. A 24-month interval is a time-based schedule, meaning the change is due regardless of hours accumulated, as long as operating conditions remain within the normal use classification.
  • The normal use condition applied to all five rows means the 24-month interval assumes standard operating environments. Forklift applications involving extreme temperatures, heavy contamination, or continuous multi-shift operation may fall outside the normal use classification and could warrant different service timing.
  • The absence of capacity variation across the KDF15 through KDF35 range suggests the KM493T engine installation is consistent regardless of the rated lift capacity of each truck model, with the cooling system volume remaining fixed at 10 liters throughout.
