Make sure your lift truck battery is good shape and also check static straps. I have a customer who has 14 Model 5600's and i had to replace 4 steer amps on different trucks in same month. All 4 trucks were missing static straps and batteries were in dire need of watering. They had watering systems installed , but still need to do cell to cell checks periodically.
