I'm hoping someone is able to help me. I work for a non profit organization and our lift started to smoke. I jumped off it and disconnected the battery. I see no smoke coming from the battery itself. Smoke comes from the rear panel which I removed the cover and it comes up through where the fork controls are. Would a bad battery cause this or do I have potentially bigger issues at hand? Thanks for your help.
