Hi all,

I new to forklifts and have some issues with my old lift.

1) Recently the forks will only lower slowly, even when revving the engine. All other functions work fine. Lowers at the same speed as if when the lift is off (pressure release)

2) When the forklift warms up the oil light comes on when on idle, disappears when engine is revved

3) I have a small coolant leak that drips on the right side and to the back of the lift. my question is, how bad is it to use with this leak. I refill the coolant every few days.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
