Hi guys,
Kind of a simple problem the operator complains about, but seemingly never does it when I'm on it, I've seen this reported on other trucks too sporadically, but never really had a chance to diagnose it properly as its sort of a rare occurance,
Anyhow, pretty simple matter,
You're driving the 112 Walkie down the aisle, while in motion and throttle applied, you grab the lift button to raise the pallet up a bit more, and the truck cuts out, with or without a code, I'm not sure,
My thinking is that the current draw from the lift motor causes a voltage drop that triggers the curtis motor controller to react in a way that cuts the drive function temporarily,
when this happens unexpectedly during travel, it can be dangerous for the operator,
In this case, the battery is brand new, don't think it's that,
My thinking is a short in the motor or lift motor maybe, causing this issue sporadically,
Any opinions guys? I'm hoping some of you veterans in this game have come across this before and have some insight,
thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
Well no responses to this problem, but figure I would reply with a remedy,
I replaced the suppressor thingy that runs across the +/- of the lift solenoid/contactor, not the side that powers the lift motor, but the side that powers up the coil itself,
According to the operator, since the new suppressor been installed he hasn't had this problem anymore,
