Linde (& Baker) E-18:
Older E18 - mast working but not driving

Hi, hoping someone can help me. I recently inherited a linde 18c-02 the serial number is H2X335K05977, it was laid up for a few years.
I can raise and lower the mast, tilt and side shift ok.
When I try to drive the truck forward or reverse it won't move but I don't see any error code.

The hand brake is down, the seat switch is working, I hear a tiny click when I press the forward pedal, when I press reverse the beeper is so loud I can't hear if there is a click or not.

The battery is on 2 bars flashing, waiting on a charger to arrive but I assume the truck should try to move even with 2 bars but asking for help or advice on this. Have I missed something fundamental that needs to happen before the truck can move?
Thanks

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
