Looking for a manual

My lift is actually a G83P 050 SAS-086 but it wasn't listed. It has a slant six engine which runs pretty good and it lifts very well. The transmission however does have some hesitation. Does anyone know how to tell the year? I would also like to find a manual or manuals. Thanks!

Showing items 1 - 5 of 5 results.
I've already asked the nearest Yale dealer about a manual. They said the lift is so old they would have to research to find one. The rep never called back as promised. I eventually found a G83P service manual on Ebay for $70. Is that a reasonable price?

Will need the serial number. I will look and check if we still have a manual. If we have a manual, will try and locate the serial number location. Thanks.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.
the serial number (complete) will be required to figure out the DOB of your forklift.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
