Forklift stops moving

For the past two days, our forklift will stop moving. The forks can be raised or lowered, but the machine itself will not move. If I turn the forklift off, then turn back on, it will usually start working again. This machine is not used on a daily basis. Any suggestions? I am the forklift operator, I am not a mechanic. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a display on the forklift (technically, it's a zero turn?), so no error codes. It doesn't stop suddenly, it just seems to die.

is there a message on the display on the truck?
what does it say when truck stops? anything like an error code?
when truck stops does it apply brakes and stop abruptly?
it might be the operator presence switches in the floor, possibly brake switch.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
