TCM FB10-7, FB15-7, FB15-17 Parts Catalog – Get the Right Part Number Every Time

Twenty-eight years in the shop, and I still see guys order a part based on a fuzzy photo or a hunch. Then they wait, the part shows up, and it doesn’t fit. That’s wasted billable time and a pissed-off customer. This TCM FB10-7, FB15-7, FB15-17 Parts Catalog – 338 pages of factory-issued part numbers, exploded diagrams, and application data – is how you keep that from happening. It’s not a service manual. It’s a parts catalog. You use it to pin down the exact component before you touch a phone.

I printed out the index from page 4 and taped it to the wall. That table of contents lists every section: DRIVE MOTOR, PUMP MOTOR, WIRE HARNESS, HEAD LAMP & FRONT COMBINATION LAMP, BATTERY UNIT, DC CHOPPER, METER PANEL, ELECTRIC UNIT, and more. You find your model – FB10-7, FB15-7, or FB15-17 – then flip to the right FIG number. Each figure shows an illustration with callout numbers linked to a parts list. That list gives you the part number, description, quantity, and any application notes like machine serial number ranges. No third-party guessing.

DRIVE MOTOR Section: Finding the Right Assembly

One of the first sections you’ll hit is DRIVE MOTOR. If you’ve got an electric forklift with a bad motor, you need to know exactly which version – there are different armature windings and brush holders depending on the machine serial number. This catalog breaks it down by model and option code. You’ll see the exploded view of the motor assembly, and the parts list tells you which bearings, seals, and terminal kits are original. I’ve seen shops order a generic replacement brush set that lasted three months. Use the factory part number from this catalog and you get the real deal.

Same story for PUMP MOTOR and WIRE HARNESS. The wire harness section is critical – electric forklifts have complex routing, and a chafed wire can kill the controller. The catalog gives you the harness part number by model, so you don’t end up with a harness that’s three inches too short. That’s saved me hours on rebuilds.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Catalog Data

First, you get the exact part number TCM assigned when the truck left the factory. Second, you see any supersessions – sometimes a part is updated to a newer version, and the catalog notes it. Third, you reduce the chance of ordering the wrong version by cross-referencing the machine serial number. That’s three specific advantages you won’t find in aftermarket reprints.

BATTERY UNIT and BATTERY CASE: Critical for Electric Forklifts

The BATTERY UNIT section covers the entire battery pack – connectors, vent caps, cell spacers. The BATTERY CASE section (with option codes like EB, EXC, EXE, EXH, EXN) shows the tray, cover, and mounting hardware. If you need a replacement battery case cover because yours cracked, you can look up the part number by your truck’s specific option code. That matters because the case dimensions change with battery capacity. Same for the DC CHOPPER controller section – it includes the SCR modules, heat sinks, and control board part numbers.

Does This Manual Cover the FB10-7, FB15-7, and FB15-17?

Yes. The catalog is split into three model sections: A for FB10-7, B for FB15-7, C for FB15-17. Each section has its own set of parts lists and illustrations. If you’re working on a mix of these trucks, one catalog covers all three. That’s 338 pages of organized data. The introduction on page 2 explains how to order parts using the model name, specification, and serial number – read that page before you call the dealer. It’ll save you from being put on hold while they look up your machine.

Audience: Who Needs This Parts Catalog

If you own or maintain one of these electric forklifts – whether you’re a small warehouse operator, a hobbyist with a retired truck, or a mobile repair tech – this is your reference. Beginners should know that this is not a repair manual. It won’t tell you how to rebuild a motor. It will tell you which bearing number to buy. Pair it with a service manual for the repair procedures, and you have the complete factory picture. Check the related manuals below for service manuals that match this chassis.

Source Validity: Why Aftermarket Parts Lists Fail

I have a stack of aftermarket parts catalogs on my shelf. Every time I cross-reference them with a factory source, I find mistakes. Wrong part numbers, left-out revisions, drawings that don’t match the actual truck. This is an original TCM factory publication – it has the Japanese text on left pages and English on right pages, so you’re getting the same documentation the guys in Osaka used. The TCM name is stamped right on the cover. Don’t rely on some photocopy from a forum. Use the real source.

For a broader understanding of electric forklift design, see Automotive Industry Overview. While this catalog covers electric models, the same part-numbering logic applies to internal combustion models; learn more about that at Internal Combustion Engine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a part number if I know the location of the part on the truck?

Use the table of contents on page 4. Find the section that matches the assembly area (e.g., DRIVE MOTOR). Look up the FIG number for your model (FB10-7 = Section A). Then flip to that page, find the illustration, locate the callout number, and read the part number from the parts list next to it.

Can I use this catalog for the FB15-17?

Yes. The catalog has a dedicated Section C for FB15-17. All illustrations and part numbers are specific to that model. Use the same method – find Section C in the contents, then locate the FIG number for the assembly you need.

What if I need a part that isn’t listed in this catalog?

This catalog covers all factory-installed components for standard models. If you have a special option not shown, contact your TCM dealer with your machine serial number. Some options are covered under the ‘Electric Unit’ sections that list multiple option codes – check those pages.

Is this the same as a service manual?

No. This is a parts catalog. It gives you part numbers and exploded views. A service manual gives you removal/installation procedures, torque specs, and troubleshooting. You need both to do a proper repair. We sell service manuals separately.
