Need assistance from someone. I have purchaed a used Toyota 6FBRE14 Reach Truck (YOM 2003) with 5500 mm 3 stage FFL mast. There is a noise from the steering motor and we tried fixing it but could not succeed. The steering motor gets heated while truck being used and when the truck is used for about 15 minutes we cannot even touch the steer motor as it becomes so hot. There are no issues with brushes of the motor and we cannot identify as to what the actual problem is. We are afraid to use the truck as the issue may lead to a steering motor failure. Could someone assist me in diagnosing and rectifying this issue ?
Thank you in advance
