UPDATE 11/13/22: I've been able to get the engine to throttle up when attempting to engage the lift or fwd/rev drive functions. However even though it throttles up the lift and drive functions are still not working. If I use the lower control unit (lift UP) I notice that it starts to lift but does not continue after an inch or so. I noticed the hydraulic fluid is just above the minimum level so I am wondering if that could be the reason. Plan on adding some hydraulic fluid as soon as I figure out what particular fluid I should be adding.

I have an SM3884XT and likely have the schematics for this scissor lift.
I have the same problem. The equipment runs but fails to lift or drive forward or backward using the upper console. It was functioning a year ago but was showing the problem intermittently even back then. Recently (11/4/22) I started it up and it failed to drive or lift using the joystick. It will still steer but I notice it no longer increase the throttle when I push the blue engage button when I have it switched to either lift or drive. I'm thinking some sort of solenoid is refusing to engage that throttles the engine up. I think the steering still works because I don't think that requires the engine to throttle up like the drive or lift functions do.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
