lol wash a electric truck now I think I have heard everything that's almost as good as this I was at this shop just finished fixing the truck and I told the operator to fill the battery and I continued working and about 10 min later I walking around out back and don't I see is Dumb... out back doing donuts so I ask him what he was doing and he said that he was mixing up the water he just put in so say the least I don't think he ever drove an forklift again

don't worry. yard man, unless you get the logic card adjusted properly, it's very likely to happen again, just when you realllllllllly need the unit

Justinm is correct, it is a battery that reads too high of a voltage, it may be set as a dual voltage truck, and you will need someone with the handset to adjust it. you might have good luck leaving the headlights on a few hours, (drain a 10th of a volt or so off the surface charge of the battery) then pulling the battery connection and re-plugging the battery in.

"it's not rocket surgery"
Justinm,
You are correct that it has a GE EV100 motor control system, the reason that i'm not shure about the m#, s# is it is written in black marker on the machine but i'll get for you and thank you so much.

if im correct and this is a GE EV100 or a GE SX (the motor control system in the back) then a -16 error means "battery volts too high"
you may have inadvertently reset the control card

if its a diff system im wrong and dont listen to me lol but im pretty sure those clarks with self diagnostics use GE control systems
write down the proper model and serial # and post it 2morrow after work

if im right youll need to have some1 with a handset come out and reset it (function 15)
