Forklift jerks when plugging

My forklift jerks when plugging. I changed the contactors and all of my wires going to the motor are tight. Cannot figure it out.

sounds like a Rec 1. Can you check the codes? Also check the diodes since they are very simple to test.

Check your 4 and 4b Rec's. Also check your duel motor contactor.
