STEERING ISSUES

This lift had another tech go out and look at it. Customer states the steering is hard. The other tech replaced the main hydraulic pressure relief valve. It is on the valve block next to the main lift. Lift still has same issue, intermittent hard steering. I don't really know much about this lift at all. I am a hyster / yale man. I checked the lift out and find sometimes it steers real easy left and right. Other times it feels like its in relief and not steering easy. I am in need of info on how to check the steering pressure and also does this lift have its own pressure setting for the steering? Also is there a priority valve somewhere? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
