Discussion:
Very abrupt deceleration - jerks to stop

The forklift jerks to a stop when you take foot off the pedal. Its a Techtronix 100 trasnmission and we have changed the auto deceleration and brake overlap settings but it seems to have no impact.

Showing items 1 - 5 of 5 results.
So we have done this as well as replaced tiss and toss and while its improved, but it still stops somewhat abruptly. now it kind-off drifts for awhile and then brakes. Any other next steps? I really appreciate your advice.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
