Hyster H50

I have a late 70's H50 hyster I don't know much about forklifts but the tranmission shifts from reverse to forward through the gas pedal. The forklift sat for about 5 years due to bad brakes so I finally got the brakes fix and new ignition parts now the trouble I'm having is the forklift will not move?????????? I filled the hydaulic tank the is mounted under the seat on the rh side the mast works steering works but no go????? any help would be appreciated the hydraulic tank was empty when I went to fill it is there some sort of bleeding process or am I just plain missing something

Take the floor plate off and look at the petal. Are there hoses or wires going to it.

this thing may even have a push button (or other type if someone replaced the OEM) switch on the dash that supplies power to the foot pedal switches that puts the unit "in driving mode"

"it's not rocket surgery"
There are switches under the gas petal that must operate properly to make the transmission work. I would check to see if there is power going to them, the wires are connected ok, and that they are working. Also check the transmission fluid.

Fact of the week
A 1904 lecture by scientist Elie Metchnikoff extolled the benefits of consuming yoghurt for halting the "intestinal putrefaction" which he believed causes aging. The press reported yoghurt as a cure for aging and the ensuing popularity is still with us today.
