As far as the lift cyl- if it's a 2 stage upright then the hoist cyl will be a simple, 1 ram inside a shell ordeal- very easy to re-pack. If the upright is a 3 stage- the hoist cyl will be a telescoping quadruple step up which is best left to a hydraulic shop for repair.

As far as the inching spool- there is an adjustment built in to the actuator rod for the master cyl's- there are 2 master cyl's- 1 on the right (as seated on the machine) which activates the brakes only, and 1 on the left which activates the inching spool & brakes at the same time. Adjust these actuators so there is about 1/2" play in the brake pedal (measured at the pedal itself) before the piston in the master cyl begins to move. If this play is already present & the inching mechanism isn't working correctly further diagnostic work will be needed.

As swoop said- there's no adjustment for the spool of the hyd. control valve. If the tilts are drifting then it's either packing in tilt cyl's that's failing or a worn hyd control valve. As stated- hydraulically lock off 1 cyl at a time & see if drift continues.

Fact of the week

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, these bacteria can travel from the mother's colon to her breast tissue and be passed to the infant through breast milk. It offers various health benefits, including potential protection against breast cancer.
