Cuts out occationally

According to the operator, either in forward or in reverse, the fork lift cuts out and stops running. This happens while moving. I am unable to repeat this issue while troubleshooting. I can only go with what the operator told me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The ignition switch backed out of the steering column and the wires on the back were rubbing on the steering shaft. The wires were loose inside the solderless terminal on the ignition switch. Stripped the wires and added new terminals. Put everything back nice and snug. Hope this was the issue. Time will tell.
