not sure about its previous functionality. The unit has sat for over a year and I'm the first tech to touch it since. parts were taken off and so far I've found that the steer ring is missing the over mast reach can cables were damaged giving intermittent problems with lift and reach function and the steer encoder at the tiller was burned out. The encoder is replaced and I'm fixing the reach system currently. I have an old Hyster OP with the same motor and set up I'm going to see if the steer ring on it will match up the same.
