Discussion:
Hydraulics creeping slightly, up and down ?

Hello.
On My Mitsubishi FG25 1996 the up and down hydraulics for the tower, have started to creep after I release the lever, it does so in both directions. The creeping goes to a halt very smoothly.

I have tried to connect another joystick/lever to the up and down hydraulics, but same result.
The hydraulics for tilt and sidemovement has no creep.

Sorry for my lack of forklift-terminology, I'm a fairly new owner of my forklift.

Many thanks, from Denmark

The only thing I can think of is maybe a bad poppet in the spool valve or a bad spool valve spring not letting it return fully to center.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
