In the past, I noticed when I would tilt the mast forward, the engine would "load up", but I use the forklift so infrequently, it was not an issue. Couple of days ago I raised the mast all the way up. Lowered the forks all the way down. When I went to move the lift, engine "loaded up" (bogged down) and lift did not move at all! No forward, no reverse, no nothing! Raised the forks all the way up, lowered them back down, still no movement. I messed around (not very technical description) with the lift/tilt lever (moving it to the different positions) and the lift would move forward/reverse slowly, if I was raising or lowering the forks, but not move otherwise. I'm not very knowledgeable on hydraulics. I've done some reading, is this an indication of a stuck bypass valve? Or? All suggestions and information greatly appreciated. I currently have no pressure readings, but will acquire pressure gauge, tools and knowledge as required to supply any desired information. Thanks, Jay
