Hi
at my workplace we have a Caterpillar F30 (about 20 years old) electric forklift. it stood without use for more then a year and I would like to reuse it. I've found that it has a problem. it's steering has a seperate hydraulic system and the pumpmotor operates constantly. as far as I know, it should work only when the steering is turned. the steering wheel is connected to a round cylindrical thing and to the side of it 4 pressure hoses are connected. I've seen no sign of any elctrical wires conncted to it, so, how does the pump motor "knows" when it sould start operating?
Thanx for your help.
