Showing items 1 - 8 of 8 results.
It was a bad flow control valve, part number 520-163. The Raymond master technician said in 30 years he has only replaced one of those.

It is possible there is a blockage in the flow control valve.

Manual lowering is limited speed wise.

Since the manual lowering does the same thing it seems more like a hydraulic issue than a electrical issue

If it is proportional lift/lower it could also be the potentiometer.

Depending on the model you may need to recalibrate the joystick.

Fact of the week
Every year for Thanksgiving, the President of the United States is given a live domestic turkey by the National Turkey Federation (NTF). While these turkeys used to be slaughtered and eaten, during the presidency of George H. W. Bush it became standard practice for the president to issue a ceremonial "pardon" to the turkey.
