Discussion:
inner channel rising before FFL is up

The main cylinders are going up before the free lift cylinder is completed up, then as the 2 main cylinders complete they force the free lift up.

I ran into this problem before w/ another truck w/ the same mast. I repacked the freelift cylinder and the problem remained. Anything else I should look at, (splitter valve, 2 main cylinders, there are no mast obstructions). Its an E50 MT Mast
Thank you

Did you replace the check valve in the bottom of the freelift colder piston when you repack the freelift cylinder?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
