we have one here at the Navy Base that drifts down on both stages of a lift...even with no load. we have checked the spool valve, the cylinders and the lowering control valve. Any ideas? We have a 1997 model that has a solenoid to lock the carriage when the lift lever is placed in the neutral position.
PLEASE HELP !!
Thanks !!
