Discussion:
hydraulics stopped working

I had the forks up about 14 feet trying to lift a pallet but it would not lift. I lowered the forks but would not lift again without a load. Fluid has been leaking lately. I checked the fluid and it was a little low. I added fluid back to acceptable range but it still does not lift. Also will not tilt.
It doesn't even make a sound when trying to operate the hydraulic lift. Its just dead.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
