Fluids and maintenance

I have a small welding business and I use an old Yale forklift to move steel. I can't find any kind of maintenance manual for a forklift as old as mine. Im trying to figure out what type of hydraulic fluid I need. Id also like to find the types of trans fluid, oil, etc.. I need.

Its an old Yale model GLP040ADJUAE085LPS

thanks for the help

As far as the hyd oil 32,wt oil is fine in that truck also for transmission use dextron III by Gm. For motor oil l believe this truck uses a Mazda va engine overhead valve if so 10w30wt oil is good. Hope l was of help.
