I bought this pallet stacker used, and have no experience doing maintenance on any lift system. Shortly after i received this, it started leaking hydraulic fluid from the release valve after use. It has slowly gotten worse. I also noticed that when I completely remove the release knob I get a huge blast of air and fluid from the pressure release. I appear to have lost enough fluid that I cannot lift anything over 1200 lbs. So here are my questions:
1. What kind of hydraulic fluid should I buy?
2. Do I refill it at the release valve?
3. What is likely wrong with the release knob?
4. If I need to replace the o-rings, what is the proper way to size them?
Any other help or advise you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
