Towmotor DP20HS Forklift Service and Operator Manual (99729-90100)

A Cat DP20HS is a diesel counterbalanced truck for moving pallets and materials around a warehouse, plant, or yard. When one comes in for scheduled service or a fault before the next rental, this manual gives the mechanic workshop procedures and operating information to get it back on the floor. It is aimed at maintenance work, adjustments, diagnosis, and repairs, not just daily driving. The cover carries the Towmotor name, Caterpillar's older lift truck marque.
