I have a fleet of seven Toyota forklifts, all but one are 8FGCU25 model. The dock crew has figured out how to over ride the governor by shifting the gearshift rapidly for forward to reverse presumedly several times. I've never seen anyone do it but I've heard from a couple reliable sources it is being done..
Does anyone know if indeed this is possible and if so how to prevent it from happening. Thanks

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
