Newbie with Clark questions

I just bought my 1st forklift, an old Clark. I needed one badly for moving outboards in my shop and the price was too good to pass up. Call it rationalizing if you will. Anyway, I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer for me. 1st, I'd like to know what model and year it is. The serial # is E7517KP99. 2nd, I need to replace the hydraulic fluid. Do I have to buy it from Clark or can I use a generic hydraulic oil? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

1st I'd contact Clark about what year and model it is.
2nd Any hydralic fluid will work. Hydralic fluid is hydralic fluid so don't worry about getting it from Clark.
