I will explain what the problem are.

when you drive slow (theres no difference between forward or backward) and you do lift or tilt at the same time the truck,goes a short time faster drive.

Its of course very unsafe and dangerous.

It sounds to me like Andrew was right. The batteries are off. So if you were to replace them, I am confident the problem will go away.

I know this post is quite old but here goes ignore the batteries I assume the truck is a geny start model so go for the basics and work up ,set up the potentiometers on the foot pedal and lift. should be 4.2 -5 volts at rest depending on model up to 8.5- 9 on full stroke. However the most likely cause is either tachogen in end of motor or current censor in the cable between motor and gen.Hope this helps

Try replacing both batterys, more than likely one is dead or as good as dead
