Why Should I Check My Transmission Fluid?
Regularly checking your transmission fluid is like going to the doctor – it’s important to make sure everything is running smoothly. Checking it will tell you if something is wrong before it gets too bad. Plus, it’s easy to do and only takes a few minutes.
How to Check Your Transmission Fluid
Step 1: Park your forklift in a safe spot. Make sure it’s in park and the engine is off.
Step 2: Locate the dipstick. It’s usually on the side of the transmission and looks like a big metal stick.
Step 3: Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Step 4: Put the dipstick back in and pull it out again. Check the fluid level and make sure it’s between the “Full” and “Add” marks on the dipstick.
Step 5: If the fluid level is low, add more transmission fluid until it reaches the “Full” mark.
Tips for Checking Your Transmission Fluid
• Always check the trans fluid when the engine is cold.
• Use the right type of trans fluid. Check your owner’s manual to make sure you’re using the right kind.
• Make sure you check the fluid level regularly – at least once a month.
• If you notice any leaks, get them fixed immediately.
