1.25XL hyster Forklift won't go back or forward

We have a 1992 year 3 wheel electric 1.25XL hyster Forklift
Worked perfectly well until this morning, not moving forward or backward, everything else works fine, tilt, lift, steering etc
What are the things we need to try and trace the fault
Did the simple things like seat switch, more than that we're lost

Model and serial number please I'm guessing it's an A1.25XL so will have a sevcon controller in the rear of the truck. Is it monotrolor colum change?? It could be a faulty brake switch, a wiring fault to either the brake swtich, monotrolor pedal/direction control switch or throttle pot, a faulty throttle pot or a blown SCR (I've changed a few), you'd be better pitting the bullet and getting an engineer in to look at it

Do you know what system the truck has installed in it if it is ev100 or general electric with two gray boxes you will need a hand set to check codes am sure you check all fuses to drive controller.
