Forward and backwards movemant sluggish

Forks lift and tilt with no issue. Moving forwards or in reverse takes forever. Batteries are fully charged. Almost sounds like one or more of the batteries are boiling. Removed caps on batteries to check, not boiling.

Update- Found the transmission motors to be low on oil. Dont know what type or how much to add to system. Lift no longer moves in either direction. Forked lift and tilt with no issue.
