I know the side shift reel is leaking quite a bit. I've never had a forklift that wasn't at least 30 years old and leaking somewhere. If I remove the 2 reel lines at the diverter and cap them off do I have to "bleed" air of the system somehow? Wondering if this will help with the main cylinder. We rarely need the side shifter and when we do use it the truck stalls if we're not stepping on the throttle.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
