Eight Mitsubishi forklift trucks fall under this 152-page Mitsubishi FD35 operator manual PDF (OEM 99730-78100), covering the gasoline and LP-gas FG35 to FG50 series and the diesel FD35 to FD50. Maintenance takes up roughly a quarter of the book, organized by the hour meter from the 10-hour daily checks through 50, 200, 1200, and 2400 service-hour intervals, with the schedule printed as a chart. Your capacity chart and load center explanation sit in the tipover chapter, the OK Monitor pages explain each warning light on the instrument panel, and troubleshooting covers a stalled engine, coolant temperature in the red, and a lit powershift oil temperature lamp. Set alternator belt deflection at 11 to 13 mm (0.4 to 0.5 in.), then torque rear wheel nuts to 378 N·m (278 lbf·ft) after a tire change. Late shift, stalled truck, nobody to ask. Bookmarks jump between chapters on screen, and printed pages can live at your bench and get greasy.

Mitsubishi FG35–FG50, FD35–FD50 Forklift Common Problems This Manual Covers
Mitsubishi FG/FD forklift engine coolant temperature gauge needle climbing into the red zone during work
Check the overheating inspection steps on page 94 the moment the needle hits red: stop lifting and park somewhere safe first. Let the engine cool before opening the cooling system, then verify coolant level. If the truck works in dust or lint, follow the severe dust and lint care on page 82.
Manual Section: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Needle Moves into Red Zone p. 94Powershift transmission oil temperature warning light glows on the instrument panel during heavy shifts
Confirm the light is the Powershift Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light on the OK Monitor (page 38), then follow the operating steps for an overheated transmission on page 94. Ease off the work cycle and do not keep pushing the truck hard while the lamp stays lit.
Manual Section: Powershift Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light Glows p. 94Engine cranks but won't start, or starter barely turns over after the truck sat in storage
Check fuel level first, then test the battery and starter connections. If the engine smells of fuel after long cranking, treat it as flooded and follow the Engine Won't Start steps in the Operation section that starts on page 58. For a flat battery, jump start only by the jumper cable procedure and safety warnings in that section.
Manual Section: Engine Won't StartHorn, stop lights, or backup lights dead while the rest of the electrical system works
Check the fuses before chasing wiring. The fuse chart on page 43 lists each circuit: horn, stop lights, and backup lights each run a 10A fuse, while tail, head, clearance and working lights run 15A. Replace a blown fuse only with the same rating, and if it blows again, inspect that circuit.
Manual Section: Know Your Forklift Truck p. 43Rear wheel nuts loose or wheel wobbling after changing a tire in the yard
Torque the rear wheel nuts to 378 N·m (38.5 kgf·m) [278 lbf·ft] as listed on page 91. Remove and install wheels following the tire changing procedure on page 85, and confirm the jack capacity is rated for the truck before lifting.
Manual Section: Changing a Tire p. 91LP-gas equipment leaking with a strong gas smell around the parked truck
Remove every ignition source right away: no smoking, no sparks, no open flame near the truck. Follow the gas leak and fire safety emergency procedures in the Trouble with the LP-Gas Equipment section of Troubleshooting. Do not restart the engine or refuel until the leak is found, and review the LP-gas refueling rules on page 55.
