Hi,

I had a Raymond Walkie 112 Series Walkie (aka 6000/8000) have its lift motor fail on me last week.

I sent the motor out for a rebuild, it came back and I put it back together everything the way it was.

Now when I try to lift the forks, the motor makes a loud whirring noise as if the motor is free-wheeling, but the forks will NOT raise. It sounds like the motor is just spinning completely freely inside but no hydraulic activity seems to be present, as if the hydraulic fluid reservoir was empty or something, but it's got the perfect fluid level!

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,
jake

The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
