Discussion:
forward and reverse failure

I have a problem with a caterpillar forklift 2EC18 model with serial number A2EC160634. Moving the lever to move and start to accelerate, makes a little movement back and then starts moving forward. Moving the lever to go back and start accelerating, makes a small movement forward and then starts moving in reverse. does notIt indicate a failure in the panel and use microcomand control system. Could someone guide me on this fault?

try removing the accelerator control, remove the cover carefully and get some electric contact cleaner and clean it out.

Then when reassembling use some white lube and lubricate the plastic contact areas on the slide assy, then using silicone sealer reseal the box lid and around the wire harness where it goes into the box.

This box should be air tight so no dust can get in there and interfere with the LED emitters. These emitters if dirty will cause all sorts of travel problems if they get dirty.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
