From Lee in Tennessee:I'd say your reversing relay is welded in reverse. They get that way if you use reverse as a brake very much. Pull down the black panel at the back of the front battery compartment and look for a stuck relay.

Hello, I just swapped batteries from my lousy looking E15 to my beautiful E12S. Never ran the E12 since it's batteries were all bad when I got it. After hooking up all the battteries from the E15 which ran great my big surprise was the E12 only goes in reverse. No matter which way I push the control I can only travel backwards. High and Low range on the tranny works normally. Any ideas as to what's going on would be appreciated. Lights work, lift works just won't go forward. Woody Del Mar
