You need your self a small speaker to blast music when doing PMs or when working outside the customers place, unless you already have music playing from your AirPods
I do need a good speaker 😂 I only have my AirPods in because I get like 5-10 calls a day and I hate having to wipe my hands or remove my gloves to answer the phone.
Seat switch is stuck closed that’s why when you raised it didn’t kill the travel but when you unplugged the connector it stopped….some of the Yales I’ve serviced in the past the micro switch has a thin metal actuator that sits under the metal framework of the seat itself and it has gotten stuck above the framework you should be able to pop the lower cushion off and see it…..I don’t work on a lot of Yales because I am a Toyota tech but I used too.
You’re 100% right! I ended up replacing the seat switch and the customer hasn’t complained since. I guess it’s a very common problem. Thanks for the comment!
Adding to this, if you have the big push button style switch that sits in the middle of the seat. Sometimes the bottom seat plastic will break causing the switch to stay stuck closed. Usually happens from "larger" drivers 😉
@@joshpurdy3102 ask and you shall receive lol I got one loading up to post tomorrow morning. After that got a couple more coming up either next week or the next. I’m trying to pump out content as much as I can, but don’t worry we got some awesome content coming soon 👀
Thanks for the comment Alexis! Acquiring customers is not simple. A lot has to do with your connections and reputation. The biggest thing for me was reputation. Do honest work and people will come. I know that’s not very detailed but it’s what worked for me. Build relationships with other vendors and they will recommend you and spread the word for free. Make friends with everyone. You never know who is going to be willing to help you in a time of need. Don’t be afraid to reach out to potential customers and offer your services to them, what’s the worst they can say? No?.. There’s also marketing things you can do, like instagram and Facebook but advertising that costs money. Sometimes it’s not worth spending all that money on advertising, it doesn’t always help as much as they say it will. I hope this helps.
Yeah something going on with the seat switch inspect at least and replace if it's all fked. So funny to see that people use the same kit half around the world. I have the same knife. Totally recommend using a mask when blowing those engines, I usually tend up sneezing black stuff after work😂
@@theforkliftguy that's so funny tho hear😁 my guess is that here in Europe companies are more inclined to "go green" also the maintanence costs are a lot less in electric from what I've found
@@HCAKA13 yes, very true. The only customers that I have that own electric forklifts are farmers and produce companies. Since they can’t have LPG trucks inside the coolers or enclosed buildings.
Hey bro im starting a mobile position as a lift truck technician we work on scissor and boom lifts as well fo you know of a good refrence to find service info such as wiring diagrams and connector pinouts and stuff? Been a tech 14 years but transition to primarily lift trucks have done heavy equipment rest of career. Thanks in advance keep u the good content
@@aroddavila the clutch cylinder puts your transmission in neutral, same pedal. Push the pedal half way down and it moves your “neutral” cylinder, then push the pedal all the way down you’ll activate the master cylinder.
Awesome work man. Looking forward to the next video. 👍👍
I appreciate it brother 🫶🏼
Keep doing your thing bro, an inspiration to hopefully one day start my own forklift tech business.
I appreciate it bro 🫶🏼 it’s never too late to start

If you have a seat belt with interlock, it'll do the same thing just a heads up in case you bump into something similar with interlock sear belt

Tilt cylinder adjustment or Trunion ring bushing is shot.
You’re 100% right!
You are 💯 correct about the fuel system on those psi engines. I’m not a big fan of those psi engines
Great channel! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

How long did it take you to learn being a forklift technician
Will be answering this question soon in the next one we film! 👀🔥🎥
Well done 👍
How many trucks do you have overall that you maintain? I have about a 100 but only 2 of those are gas/diesel powered. Theyre all electric nowadays 😁
I would say around 70. Mainly gas/diesel and about 10 are electric.

Gotta love these rolling pos highly computized cars😂
What watch you got on it’s tuff
Garmin instinct gps. Super rugged and takes a beating! Highly recommend.
Checking the resistance to the seat switch would've probably helped
Hello, do you know a good scanner for electric crown palletjacks, thanks

Where can I order the Yale part from the regulator?
Contact Tanner at material handling supply. Or your local Yale/hyster dealer
@@theforkliftguy thank you for the fast response, and good work
What is the difference between the clutch cylinder & master cylinder?
@@aroddavila the clutch cylinder puts your transmission in neutral, same pedal. Push the pedal half way down and it moves your “neutral” cylinder, then push the pedal all the way down you’ll activate the master cylinder.
Those hyundais front diffs are too small/weak.... had a few tear themselves apart.... too many bugs not a hyundai fan.
Me either but I have to fix them lol thanks for the comment 🫶🏼
Thermostats go bad on those Yales with the PSI engines. It will cut off fuel and die randomly when it overheats.
Good to know! Thanks for the input 🫶🏼
I have a hyster and I have the same problem, it won't start, I think it's the same as that one. I'm in Miami. Can anyone in this area fix it?
@@ramonalexanderhernandez9901 I don’t know any forklift mechanics in Miami but I’m in Naples.
