Drain fluids on H40FT

How to drain all fluids from forklift (propane fueled)? Drain port locations for the fluids and any lessons learned? Also, is there a manual available with this information? I have limited forklift mechanics experience, more driving experience. Thank you in advance for your help. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Dustin,

The engine will have a drain plug toward the middle of the lift as the engine is mounted backwards. The transmission has a plug in about the same location. Hydraulic tank drain should be on right side at the bottom of the tank. You will have hydraulic oil in hoses and cylinders that will need to be removed to remove all oil. The front differential has a plug t the bottom. Good Luck
