High speed in gear

I just bought a used 8FDU25 from the Toyota dealer. Its a 2012 with 1700 hours. Ive never owned a forklift but have used many in the past. When this one is put into gear without giving it any throttle it goes 7-8 MPH. I cant believe that's normal. There tech came out and showed me the read out and idle speed was between 800-900 rpm. He said that was spec. Can someone tell me if there's does the same. Thank You.

I recently bought a brand new Manitou TMM 20 4W from a dealer at https://anguslifttrucks.co.uk/forklift-sales-uk/. It is a 2020 model with 0 robot hours. I have never driven a forklift like this, but I have used different models in the past, so I have experience. I had a similar problem, but a friend helped me with it. He is a good professional, I will give you his card, or when he is available, I will contact you. He is excellent with forklifts. He used to work as an auto mechanic. Now he's completely private.

Fact of the week
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.
