it is most likely your tilt cylinders need to be resealed just like the previous person said, had this happen to one of our old clarks

You could also have a faulty tilt relief valve. Did this just start happening? was it a gradual failure or all of a sudden?

Chances are the fluid is bypassing in the tilt cylinders. They either need to be repacked or I have also seen a void between the rod and the piston that holds the packing that seals against the shell that lets the fluid bypass.
