Recommended transmission fluid

I would like to know what is the recommended transmission fluid for this forklift. It carries the 2.2L engine. The technicians said the fluid came out a clear/brown color. Our local parts supplier is unsure of the fluid. Thank you in advance.

JD40 spec oil Hyster recomend tractran 9 do not use standard atf or engine oil in the transmission because it will destroy the clutch plates and I've repaired lots that have had the wrong oil in them

I have a 1998 H60XM and mine uses 15-40 motor oil in the transmission don't know if that helps but that's what I know.

Thank you. It is the single speed power shift. We have ATF GL-4 on site, could that be used as well?

Is this a single speed power shift or a hydrostatic truck? If it is a power shift the fluid would be universal trans/hydraulic fluid ( JD20).

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
