Today a leak developed somewhere in the mast of our Hyster S60xM, not severe and seems to leak only when forks raised (as you'd expect.) We haven't isolated leak source yet, so any tips on doing that are welcome. A large heavy thing we were unloading yesterday swung and a part of it hit the Hyster on the very bottom of the mast while mast was still raised so maybe something down there cracked?
Anyway we have to use it daily until we can get the repair service to look at it and unless the leak really gets severe (only an annoying trickle making little puddles now) I'll be replacing fluid as needed. I think the hyd. Fluid fill and dipstick are what's under the little trap door in front of the pedals, but not sure. What kind of hyd. Fluid does the S60xM use? I don't have a manual and didn't find anything on older models on the Hyster site.
