Well it's been about a week now that I wet my electric forklift with a hose pipe And it won't start. I thought I was doing a good thing spraying the forklift down to clean it but I actually wet something I wasn't supposed to.i did more bad then good.it keeps giving me (P-Motor I offset and Contactor Fault).does anyone know where the contactor is and how I can get this forklift moving again?

Hi John, Contactor is in the back next to the inverters and logic. If you follow the wires from the emergency stop they go to it. Worth taking big connections off and removing top of contactor to clean as they do have a habit of sticking for no apparent reason. Pump motor current offset is slightly more worrying though but may be water ingress in logic or pump inverter. Point a little fan heater at back panel for a few hours and cross your fingers! :-)

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
