Lift but no lower, tilt back but not forward

I have a forklift here that will raise, but not lower, tilt back but not forward, all will the seat switch is disconnected. Forward and reverse function works fine. No codes displayed on the screen. Does anyone have a clue what the **** is going on?

Check all your hydraulic hoses to the mast from control valves. If you have extra play with the controls check the little cup things under the control valves and make sure they are still connected. I had one lift that would drop loads but raising load was fine. One of the lil cups had come loose allowing down valve to drop freely. Also seat switch could be faulty. Had one where you sit down switch is activated and go to drive and the switch deactivated without shifting of the body. Also check all you position sensors on the lift. Hopefully something helps

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
