Won't engage reverse

Hyster S50C with monotrol. Won't engage reverse, only goes forward no matter which side of the pedal is pressed. Fluid levels fine, no leaks. Monotrol pedal is hydraulic but I can't see how it works to select reverse - no electrical wires at pedal. Can't find a manual or diagram on the internet. Forklift was working two months ago, just fine in both forward and reverse.

It has to be an oil flow problem from the pedal, I would place the truck in neutral, remove the lines at the pedal and crank or momentary start to c where the oil enters the pedal. Then put that hose back on and check flow exiting pedal in both forward and reverse. It'll tell u if the pedal is good
