part of the reasoning behind 'if you leave a mast up or not' has to do with the fact that straight masted forklifts have a single acting cylinder (pressure up, gravity down) and shooting booms are double acting cylinders and have a 'back pressure required' (also some times called 'over center' or 'holding') valve on the cylinder so that shooting booms do not have an 'allowable drift rate'.
