Will not move until warm.

My son just purchased a used forklift (tight budget). It will not move unless its running for at least 5 minutes. No brakes as well. We are very green owners. Any help / advise would be appreciated.

-service the transmission
-clean the sump screen
the directional valve may just be sticking because of dirty fluid or it's not picking up fluid well because of a dirty sump screen.

When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
