Four electric lift trucks in Komatsu's FBM and FB line, from the FBM10M through the FB18M-2, share this 72-page Komatsu FB15M service manual PDF, factory document SM019. Troubleshooting flowcharts fill nearly a third of the book, tracing a dead FR contactor, a truck that won't move in either direction, or travel speed that ignores the accelerator back to the failed component. Wiring diagrams for the 24V USA, 24V and 48V pump controller, and pump contactor configurations close it out, and the chopper circuit gets its operating theory explained mode by mode, so you can read a thyristor check instead of guessing at one. Gap the 48V FR contactor microswitch at 0.5 to 0.7 mm; set LIFT first-stage lever travel to 15 to 25 mm at the cam. Meanwhile the truck sits and pallets pile up. Print what you need and let it get greasy; the bookmarked, keyword-searchable file stays clean on your drive.
