Discussion:
not engaging forward drive sometimes only

Morning, we have a forklift that is not forward engaging sometimes, we have check all fluid levels are OK.
I am worried this will get worst with time, the forklift is not used a great deal maybe 5 hours a week.
Any suggestions where else to check.
regards,
Mark J

I also have this model:42-4FG15, a 1985 year model. won't move forward or reverse. transmission fluid level OK. The fwd/reverse lever mechanically activates a lever on top of the transmission. does not appear that this model has electrical solenoid valves that operate fwd/rev function. All the mechanical linkage in intact. Suggestions?

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
