2001 Daewoo D25S-3 forklift, just acquired, looking for advice

Wolfowner said:

Long story short, I got this forklift for money owed to me.

Diesel, 5000 pound lift, 3 stage mast, 186" height

Its not a bad looking unit, I heard it start and saw it run a month ago

But... when I went to get my new pride and joy, I turn the key and nothing...


I tested the battery, it shows good.. but I will change it with a new one just in case...

Are there safety switches built in?

Like in the seatbelt? Where it would kill everything unless clicked?

Or if the hydraulic oil gets too low?

I assume it has to be in neutral to start...


Instrument panel isn't lighting up.. I really dont know if it ever did..

An owners manual would be good and perhaps a repair manual ?

I am not finding a whole lot online about these units...

Can I get parts for this Forklift?

Thanks ahead for any input from the heavy equipment hive mind !!

Switches - Seat, park brake, direction control. A very few had standard trans instead of power shift and in that case also a clutch switch.

It's a relay and controlled by the ignition switch.

Ok, she runs... Got a hydraulic hose leak involving the mast ... enough so, that it allows a load to very slowly drop...

Also, the tires are pneumatic... anyone have any idea how much air is required? They were all low... at only 15 pounds... I put 50 in them just
for now.. I feel they should be more? Thanks
