Hydraulic system not working properly

Repair method: First check if the hydraulic motor is working properly, then check the module, module board, main board, multi-way valve, hydraulic gear pump, etc.

Steering system not working properly

Maintenance method: First check whether the steering oil pump is working properly, then check the direction encoder, power steering cylinder, then check the steering main board, fuse, steering switch, direction sensor , steering worm system, rudder ball head and tie rod for loose and falling out, check for damage to triple disc and bearing, steering joint and steering pin, needle roller bearing, face bearing flat, etc. damaged or not, etc.

Besides, there are many other causes of damage in electric forklifts. Above, we only list common cases, the above sharing will hopefully help someone to quickly fix the damage in the electric forklift they are using.
