Forward Drive

Hi all,

My T40D doesn't like to drive forwards!
Reverse is fine, as are lift & tilt.
Any ideas?
Also, does anyone have a service or parts manual for this model?

im having the same issue, some lifts have a safety neutral with the unit like if some one gets off the unit it autos to neutral, the switches that control thaat such as the seat may be the problem, im having a prob like that with my cat 3500, my assumption is yours is a toyota.
