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.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
