Ok guys, I ran my machine all day Saturday with no problems. I parked it inside and ran to get 3 pallets of salt. Came back started the machine, dropped the bucket, moved over and picked up the pallet forks. I raised the lap bar got out locked the pins down got back in put the lap bar down and now my lift/ tilt light on the upper left panel is flashing 3 times, pause, 3 times, pause, ect... I can drive the machine but have no lift or tilt. I've tired shutting down and restarting a few times no change. Messed with the lap bar no change. So I called my local dealer and explained the problem to them. Shop manager says he almost guarantee it's a bad lift or tilt actuator and it will be about $600.00 for the part plus labor. So I had them print out a parts diagram and pictures so I knew what I was looking for. He shows me these two big black actuators that are mounted right on the front of the main control valve. Well I've been under the cab of my machine many times and have never seen anything that even remotely resembles these actuators. I do not have Advanced Hand Controls on this machine. It is a hand/ foot control machine with no option to change to any other control style. Am I wrong in thinking that my machine doesn't even have lift and tilt actuators? From what I can tell my foot pedals are linked directly to the spools on the control valve. Can somebody please confirm this?
