Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Raymond 8410 pallet truck.

Message: Motor assist disabled, steering slow

Symptom: steering becomes very heavy and reacts slowly.

All other functions (lifting, travel, etc.) are working fine.

No error code displayed (or not visible at the moment).

I suspect a problem with the PowerSteer / Steering Assist System (sensor or assist unit).

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Where exactly are the motor assist unit and steering sensor located on this model?

Is there a simple reset procedure or quick test to confirm the fault before disassembly?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
