Hyster 155XL2 - Creeping forward, Monotrol Pedal?

Hello,
I have a Hyster 155XL2 that is creeping forward with my foot off the throttle pedal. It has the Monotrol pedal on top of the gas pedal. I just bought the forklift and it was like this. Do you think it is the Monotrol pedal, or some adjustment somewhere? Trying to make it safe for my employees.

Thanks

Matt,

Couple of adjustments need to be checked. First, the idle adjustment on the engine. This model may be electronic but can be checked through program. Inspect the throttle cable to make sure it is not damaged. Most lifts will still move after letting off the throttle unless the brake pedal is pressed. The brake pedal is two part. Inching pedal when first pressed putting the transmission in neutral. Actuates brakes when pressed further to stop the truck. All this happens as quickly as you press the pedal. Good Luck.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.
