Hi!
I have an old Yale 1969 I believe with low hours that I picked up for not much and it runs/works great except there seems to be some air trapped in the main ram.If the truck is left forks raised for 4-5 hours with no load and you step on the forks they wil sink a couple inches.This does not happen when machine is running or loaded. If there is a way to bleed the system how might I go about it.
There appears to be what looks like a bleed nipple on the top of the main ram.
Thank you,
sam
