First post here. I know pretty much next to nothing when it comes to forklift troubleshooting, so I thought I would ask for some help. I have a Yale Model ERC080 Electric Forklift. When I connect the battery, the hydraulic pump (I think) engages, and revs? up like an engine with your foot on the gas. This happens whether the key is turned on or off. The only way to shut it off is to dis-engage the battery. My thought is that the switch for the pump is faulty, and it is sticking, but I would have no idea where to even look for this. Does this make sense? Any suggestions on how to fix this myself?

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
