I have a dual cylinder mast, the forks will lower by them self. This happens with the engine running and off. There is no difference in speed with either. If there is a load it will lower faster.
Since there are two cylinders I do not think this is a piston seal blow by problem. What type of return to center or check valve is on this type of fork truck. I do not have a hydraulic diagram or maintenance manual. This is the reason for the question. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
