Not lifting passed first stage.

Our Linde H40D recently had a load that was too heavy for it and it tipped forward with all the weight. Now it will not lift anything passed the first stage. Everything works fine without a load. Is there a sensor or something that I should look for? Thanks.

They leak internally. You might check the gland at the top of each cylinder. There is a 10 mm bleeder screw. If you remove the screw and and fluid pours out then the cylinder is leaking internally and needs to be repacked.

Everything is still straight, as far as I know nothing broke. I don't see fluid anywhere. I'll have to look into rupture valve. I have never heard of that before. Thanks.

My guess is that the secondary lift cylinders need to repacked.
