Hyster H50XL:
Replaced brake master cylinder and can’t get brakes to work

I've got a h50xl that I just replaced the brake master cylinder in. I bled the brake lines after installing the new one and the brakes do not build pressure and stop the lift. Just wondering if there's something I am missing?

first question: did you bench bleed (pre-bleed) the master cylinder before installing it? Sometimes even if you do bench bleed it air might still be in it.
if so then you might need to get a pressure bleeder.

Fact of the week
The concept of Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first implemented in Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada in 1908. The first proposal for DST, however, came in 1895 from New Zealand entomologist George Hudson who valued extra daylight so that he could hunt bugs after work during the summer months. He suggested a two-hour daylight-saving shift.
