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.
