You need to test the battery voltage before & after you select a hydraulic function, watch your meter to see what the voltage is when you are standing still versus when the Lift Motor is running.

Pull the battery out of the compartment and remove cell caps.

I'll bet it needs water, because everybody ignores water levels.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
