Modification Traction

Hello all,

I have a disabled customer (wheelchair) and wants his forklift customized to be handoperated travel.
Eg accelerator as joystick on the armrest.
This part works as a charm, now he also wants this to be selected, if he is on the truck switch to manual, and if someome else drives, switch back to pedal drive.

Another mechanic already tried to use a 4way switch, but is not really working.

Is there a way to make this happen?
Switching between handoperated an pedal drive.
He would be very happy.

It is a linde BR387 with two pedal drive.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
