Telescopic JCB Forklift 516-40

Just wondering has anyone had a similar experience as mine and if so how did they fix it. My forklift will turn on a drive perfect for 10-15minutes and then the forklift will stop driving, the engine and hydraulics stay working but the forklift will not drive forwards or back wards. Have any of ye came across this issue before and if so were ye able to fix it. Thanks in advance.

    Is there a Declutch pedal, or a declutch button on the boom control handle? Could be an issue with those switches. Also check parking brake sensor. Sounds electric related. Trans engages with solenoids getting activated. And parking brake and declutch switches deactivate the trans.

    Hi Skata, we thought it could be an issue with the brakes sensors so had that replaced but still didn’t fix anything. There is no declutch pedal or switch on it as far as I am aware. Thank you.

    Do you have the service manual for it ? I found this, but I don't know if it is any help for you. A curser click on the image will enlarge it.
