i believe you will need a handset or gesentry and a pc, either one (gesentry requires a specific cable to hook directly to the card). The handset is much simpler for the novice.
Not sure if my memory serves me correctly or not but do you know what controller this has? is it the EV100ZX or the SEM control.... EV100 is the small rectangular card, the SEM controller is a big square box either black or gray. These units came with either one depending on how it was ordered.


it will retain whatever is stored in the dash display but the motor control parts such as 1A time dropout and pickup, powersteer timer, current limit, etc you will have to program, most likely the default paramaters will let it run but they wont be correct and could damage the motor. If Hyster has the same adjenda as Yale does when it comes to programming thier lifts their may be a rapid tuneup chart with base settings. I'll take a look.
