    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 😉

    Man I learn a lot from you keep up the videos and question how do you acquire customers I want to be an independent contractor like you

    • @theforkliftguy
      @theforkliftguy  Před 5 měsíci

      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😂

    Thermostats go bad on those Yales with the PSI engines. It will cut off fuel and die randomly when it overheats.
