Looking for some suggestions on a slow operating power up and down cylinder on this motor. Runs very slow with a fully charged battery, I assume it is low on hydraulic fluid, but I'm not sure what type oil, how much is full, and also if there are other potential areas to check.Also would like to know how to change pump impeller which I have been told to do as a routine maintenance item. I'd be happy to buy a shop/repair manual if you all feel there is a good one.Also I have noticed a small wire broken off by the top cylinder, that has a tiny hex head attachment to the cylinder head, not sure if thatis a temp unit or how hard it is to change, Thanks for your help, Brad SN#0D105940
