Additional Notes

  • The front differential on the Komatsu Forklift 1540PG-8 with Nissan TB45E engine (serial number 44801 onward) holds 12.5 liters, a capacity figure that applies consistently across both the normal service and initial service fill conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the front differential fluid is checked on a 3-month or 600-hour interval, whichever comes first, and changed on a 6-month or 1,200-hour interval.
  • The initial service change interval for the front differential is set at 1 month or 200 hours, which is significantly shorter than the normal change interval of 6 months or 1,200 hours, reflecting the break-in period during which new gear surfaces shed fine metallic particles into the fluid.
