We have one stretcher that has become weak and won't lift 250 lbs. It's not the battery, It acts like it's a limit switch or something.

Not Lifting - weak

I'm not an expert on that stretcher, but it probably uses technology similar to the Stryker Spider holding device used in ORs. I'd SWAG that it had a small oil leak and it's out of oil, or that the internal oil pressure bypass is letting pressure escape too early. It's probably supposed to dump at around 1000 PSI and it's letting off too early. One or the other.
Is there something in the manual to show how to check the oil level? And the correct oil to instill in it, if it is low? (NEVER mix up the lubricants!)
