Drive take-up

Perkins 4 cylinder diesel H50H. Starts first time but needs a minute or two of revving to get forward or rearward movement. Once it gets moving, it's fine. Is this likely to be a clutch or hydraulic issue?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the forklift has sat in the corner of my workshop since! I used it for a while today and left it idling. After a few minutes, I went to move it and had no forward or reverse motion, despite the revs. I will have a look at the oil level and control valves.

check the control valve on the transmission, sounds like a directional solenoid or spool gummed up and has to warm up a bit before it starts working.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
