Hi I have a Hyster 2.5Ft serial No L177B09209D
truck only covered 6000 hours
truck has fingertip controls and the lift/lower is very slow especially on free lift cylinder
the main cylinders dont seem too bad
I checked in settings and lift speed is set to 10, I am presuming that lower is the same as there doesnt seem to be seperate settings for lift /lower
lift isnt as much of a problem as you can rev engine to make it go
when oil is warm it improves a bit and when there is a load on it is better, but not as fast as i would expect.
without load it is about 5 mins to drop free lift cyl
Maybe check valve sticking but not had a look yet
any one have any experience of this problem?
