Cat F30 Type E forklift

Hello everyone, I'm new here and arrive with a problem. I have an old F30 that the model number plate is missing on. So my first question is where can I find that info (stamped on the units engine somwhere?, can't find) Then the reason i need it is to buy a manual for it. The hydraulics work on it, but it will not move in forward or reverse. Checked every fuse i could find, but cannot locate a "drive fuse" listed on the schematic. Thanks in advance to anyone who is kind enough to offer help.

Is there any error code on the display?

Give me your email address or send me an email and I will give you some info on the controller.

Okay so this is bizarre... there are only two fuses there and its obvious that one has been removed with a shrink sleeved wire in it's place. (WHY do people do these things?) I checked the two fuses that are there with a meter and they are okay. The contactors do not pull in. I did check out the park brake switch, briefly, I will go see if there is continuity now with a meter. Thanks for the advice.

The serial number will be on the right front side of the frame, on the mast side, just above the drive tire. The drive fuse is one of the three fuses mounted on the panel near the centre of the truck close to the battery. They sit upright at a bit of an angle so you won't really see them unless you know what they look like.

Those are just the power fuses so if you don't have travel, look at the park brake switch first. Do the directional contactors pull in?

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
