My first fork lift.

Loosing fluid. Can't find the source but the puddle is in the middle of the unit. The shape of the puddle looks like there may be two leaks from the shape of the puddle. Fluid is red in color. The question is what types of fluids and weights should I use once it is discovered what is leaking? The unit has two holding units on the right side, as you sit in it, and one on the left side and this cap seems to be frozen on this one.

Also, when I go in reverse I have to be very cautions and very, very gentle on the peddle as it will jump otherwise. Any thoughts on this?

Is there a site where a manual can be found.

Thanks in advance.

Cat uses ATF fluid in some of its wet clutch transmissions.

I have that same forklift, it is awesome. A really capable outdoor
machine. Power wash it with hot water, including on the bottom, you
will see it more easily where it leaks.
