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.
