I have a 2011 Crown Fc4000, forklift sat low battery not being used for about two months, finally got her charged up, running fine, but lift hydraulics aren't working properly.

First observed very slow lifting with a sputtering sound, tried to cycle it up and down in case it was air in the system, noticed faint smoke so stopped use. Tried to troubleshoot today, sometimes it will sputter/lift, sometimes it will just click and not lift at all.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advanced
