Load Dropping

Intermittent fault, simplex mast. When lifting loads close to maximum lift occasionally the load will drop/settle about 4 or 5 inches. Holds ok after this.
The lift circuit accumulator is noisy when this happens. I haven't checked the accumulator pressure yet but could it cause this fault?

thanks.
