Discussion:
Back/Forth only work after bumping lift

Greetings all,

I recently bought a used Toyota 40-FBEC10 electric forklift. It worked fine for a while but now when I put it in forward or reverse and push the pedal, I hear the click happen, but the hydraulics do not seem to start to make it move. If I then pull the lever to tilt the forks, the hydraulic motor starts and I can drive it normally. Once I let off the gas I have to bump the tilt again to get it to move.

Where should I start to look to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Scott
