Komatsu Forklift trucks, diesel - Tusk DX20 series

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Komatsu Forklift trucks, diesel - Tusk DX20 series utilize brake fluid with a capacity of 0,05 liter. Service intervals include checking every 8 hours and changing every 6 months or 1200 hours. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The hydraulic brake system on the Komatsu Forklift Tusk DX20 series carries a brake fluid capacity of 0.05 liter, which is a very small reservoir volume consistent with a compact hydraulic brake circuit rather than a large overhaul fill.
  • Both the 1540PD-8 with the Komatsu S6D102E engine and the 1800PD-8 with the SA6D102E engine share an identical 0.05 liter capacity, indicating no variation in brake fluid volume between the two engine configurations covered in the specifications.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake fluid check interval is set at every 8 hours of operation, reflecting the safety-critical nature of brake system monitoring in forklift applications.
  • The change interval under normal use is defined by a dual threshold of 6 months or 1200 hours, whichever comes first, meaning calendar time and operational hours are both tracked as independent triggers for fluid replacement.
  • The 6-month time-based limit on brake fluid change acknowledges that brake fluid degrades through moisture absorption over time, independent of how many hours the machine has been running.
  • Both engine variants covered in the specifications carry serial number designations starting from 46001, establishing the production point from which these fluid and interval figures apply.
