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
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
