Clark C500-50 Troubleshooting

Just bought a c500-50. Looking for a source for transmission troubleshooting manual. Also looking for a source on a general service and repair manual. The ones I have seen I'm not sure cover troubleshooting, but cover repair. Just need to make sure I can get the right ones.

Was told this forklift doesn't move so I'll start with the basics like chalking fluids, but haven't been around these machines very much. All the hydraulics work work the lift and such, so I'm told. I don't have it in the shop quite yet but want to find the manuals so I can get going on it once's it's in the shop.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
