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.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
