Inspect the hydraulic install carefully first to determine problems or potential problems in the current system. Things to look for would include jagged holes for cylinders cut with a torch, birds nests of wiring, pump and battery mountig issues, rubbing hoses or cylinders etc. If it checks out go ahead and change the oil, cylinder seals and add some new batteries and see how it works. Make sure you have a disconnect installed if there isn't one already there before you start playing, could save a fire if there is an electrical problem.  The guys from Hydroholics are on here as well if you have more questions. They are very knowledgable on the subject and their product line is top notch , check 'em out.

A good idea is to post a pic of the setup and I can tell just by looking at it if there are any areas of potential help.  Mazdah hit it on the head with changing the oil and getting the batteries tested and charged.  He also hit it again when he mentioned sloppy wiring could cause problems....if you have any questions post 'em up or shoot us an email.
