Discussion:
Lack of hydraulic power

Hi we have a battery powered Cat EP16KT and recently it has lost the ability to use the side shift or tilt back and forth with weight on the forks.
Without any weight on the functions work fine.
Any ideas what we can do to get the lost power back?
I've checked fluid levels and all seems fine there.
Many Thanks
Frank
