Excessive back pressure in the system.
Check the system for restrictions and reduce the
back pressure.

Hoist clutch is slipping.
Inspect the clutch and driver for wear and replace
worn parts.

allow proper lifting.
Increase relief valve pressure setting.
Load being lifted may be more than the
hoist's rating.
Reduce the load or re-rig to increase mechanical
advantage.

lower the load.
The brake valve was improperly hooked
up after being disconnected.

have a plugged metering hole.
Remove the cartridge and clean it if necessary.
