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
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
