Im having an issue with a customers truck. It has been an ongoing intermittent problem for about a week now. I was just recently given the new task of working on a newer fleet of Raymond reach trucks and to be completely honest I am not very familiar with them yet. I have been mainly an LPG internal combustion mechanic for about 7 years now. Anyways, the issue that i am having right now is when the 4 way switch that controls the tilt up and down is pressed, the carriage reaches out and retracts as well as tilts. The sideshift works as it should with no problems. The issue has been happening off and on for about a week now. I tried to run learn mode on the control handle and just when it seems that everything is working, it happens again. Just wondering if anyone out there has encountered this problem in the past and if someone could possibly point me in the right direction as far as diagnosis goes. Thanks...

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
