Discussion:
Stuck in Forward.

Hello all. I have a Skyjack SJIII 3226. It is stuck in forward. Push the joystick will go forward. Pull the joystick it still goes forward. Will raise and lower no problem. Did some research and it could be a faulty valve? I am pretty mechanically inclined so i think I can tackle it myself just need to know where to start. Thanks in advance!

Find the Vickers valve assys mounted to the side of manifold...start by disconnecting the forward coil...if when you activate reverse..the machine drives forward...swap the 2 vicker valve assy's...should then drive forward and reverse but constantly turn on one direction...get a new bicker valve assy...if not when you disconnect the coil if it stopped, then diode probably bad going to wire number 16 for forward

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
