Hydraulic pressure low until engine is reved up

I'm having problems with my telehandler. The forklift is a TL943. I can't get full hydraulic pressure without keeping the engine revved up. WHen you use the the auxiliary lever I get good pressure and everything works fine, but without using the lever and the engine idling, I have hardly any pressure and nothing will move. This just started happening. Any help would be appreciated.
