Discussion:
Mast falls forward

Hi, I currently purchased a Hyster forklift (36K) When I put a load on it lifts with no problem. Its seems that once it gets past the center point (forward and backwards) it will fall forward without touching any controls. It goes very quick and it very dangerous. I'm not sure where to start looking for issues. There aren't any leaks in the rams or hose.

thanks!

Tilt cylinders may have blown internal seals. You will not see any exrenal leakage.
