Komatsu Forklift trucks, LPG/petrol - DX20 series, -7/-8

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Komatsu Forklift trucks, LPG/petrol - DX20 series, -7/-8 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.

  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,05 liter
  • Check 8 hours
  • Change 6 months/ 1200 hours

Additional Notes

  • The hydraulic brake system on the Komatsu FG70-7 with Nissan TB42 engine holds 0.05 liter of brake fluid, a notably small capacity consistent with a sealed hydraulic line reservoir rather than a large open system.
  • The FG70-8 with Nissan TB45E engine carries the same 0.05 liter brake fluid capacity in its hydraulic brake system, matching the FG70-7 figure exactly despite the difference in engine displacement.
  • A check interval of every 8 hours applies to the brake fluid system on both configurations, reflecting the frequency typical of shift-based inspection schedules in industrial forklift operation.
  • The change interval for brake fluid on both the FG70-7 and FG70-8 is set at 6 months or 1200 hours under normal use conditions, with whichever threshold arrives first serving as the service trigger.
  • The dual-format interval of 6 months and 1200 hours acknowledges that calendar time and operational hours can diverge significantly in forklift applications, where a unit may accumulate hours rapidly or sit idle for extended periods.
