Brake issue

The brakes have failed on the forklift (pedal is soft). I suspect it's low on fluid. Does anyone know what fluid I should use. There is nothing on the reseviour cap and I don't seem to be able to find information on this model.
Assistance much appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. The nameplate is pretty faded. The serial number appears to be 63434. If the middle letter isn't a B it might be an R. I have not found any information available online for this unit!
Thanks for the assistance.

I think the middle letter of your model number is incorrect. What is the serial number. Whichever, I'm pretty sure that it is DOT3.
