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.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
