I would check to see if the contactor coil is strong and pulling the contacts in nice and quick. Put a volt meter on the coil and see if the voltage is pulsing on and off. If so, check the the switch in the control handle and your machine may a a lift limit switch the shuts off the high speed (M) contactor when the forks are raised over 24". If the wiring and switches all seem ok then it may need a new auxiliary card.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
