The mast will tilt forward after the lift is shut down. Checked for possible voltage at the valve solenoid and found none. Isolated the cylinders from the valve and the cylinders hold. Installed new aux. valve and still have same problem. Does anyone have a hydraulic schematic for this lift or have any suggestions that may help? Thanks for the help.

We installed a cut off valve for both cylinders between the valve and cylinder. Tilt the mast back then close the shut off so no fluid could go back to the valve. This isolates the cylinders so if the mast still moves forward the cylinders are bad. Since the mast did not move forward we assumed the valve was bad as there is no electrical voltage at the valve solenoid when the control handle is released. Unfortunately for us this did not fix the problem. Thanks.

When you isolated the cylinders from the valve were they still hooked together hydraulically or were they isolated independent of each other?

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
