Hello,
I am looking for some help regarding my new to me Yale diesel forklift.
It's a GDP060TFNUAE087 model and is from around the year 2000.
Serial no. E177B17347U
I purchased the forklift and dropped it off at my shop. When I returned a week later I had a leak.
I checked all the dip sticks to see what fluid is low and I found out the dip stick in front of the engine in the area around the gas pedal, beneath the floor plate is very low.
I do not have the service manual, that's why I am reaching out.
Question:
For what fluid is the dip stick beneath the floor plate?
Is it for transmission fluid? If yes where can I find the lid to refill it? Or do I need to refill it trough the dip stick pipe?
If someone knows what exact fluids I need for the forklift
Would be very helpful. Like what transmission, engine oil etc.
I have a hard time getting a mechanic out and I need to run the forklift for 2 hours but don't want to run it without all the fluids on working level.
I am a woodworker and not a mechanic, and English my second language that's why I might have not used the right terms to describe my problem.

Thanks for any help.

I appreciate it.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
