Discussion:
mast went bang from base.

Hi all, I have an early clark 2.5T with centre three stage mask. I was lifting today and it was on the 2.5t load when the mast went bang and then lowered rather fast.
The hoses are all fine but there is fluid leaking from under the mast when leaver to raise is pushed.
I dont have model but think its a c50 but not sure red red motor and side shift.
anyone have a suggestion what it may be?

cheers Shane.

You may have blown a ORB "O" ring seal on the cylinder hydraulic fitting or have cracked fitting.

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.
