Cannot pick up load without acceleration.

I have a fg18 unit that is having trouble picking up a load without stepping on the gas. I can lift the forks fine without a load. Hydraulic oil and filter are new. Any ideas?

Inspect the throttle butterfly, it might be dirty and not getting sufficient air at low idle.

Do you happen to know where the pump would be in this unit. I tried looking up a schematic but couldn't find anything.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
