I'm reading the mechanical troubleshooting for this unit, and I do have one with the same issue. While driving unit straight, unit turns left by itself. Also, it does it when stopped. If you would happen to know the solution for this problem, I gladly appreciate any suggestions.
thank you.

when you are driving the lift. You stop and put something away or say pull a file out of a box the drive unit slowly moves to the left by itself. then u have to reposition it to go straight again.
