Discussion:
Only tilts forwards, no tilt back

Hey hope everyone's doing good. We have a 8FBE20U with roughly 6000 hours on it and the unit will only tilt forwards. When the handle is pulled back the hydraulic pump does not turn on at all. when pushed forwards there is a sound of a microswitch but none when pulled back. If anyone knows where the switch for the tilt is located it would be appreciated. The other handles seems to have pots attached to the handle at the valve But the tilt is the only one without a pot. Any help is appreciated, cheers.

Sounds like your top tilt switch isn't functioning. Should be able to test in analyzer menu. And very possible your tilt forward switch is stuck to the on position, causing issue to not tilt back. Should be a code for these that's displayed if not functional
