what is the issue if only one of the arms moves very slow... the other one moves at the right speed

One possible cause is that the muscle on the slower-moving arm is generating less force or power, possibly due to fewer muscle fibers being activated. This could result from weaker neural signals, leading to fewer motor units being recruited, or from physiological limitations such as fatigue or reduced muscle efficiency. Differences in load or resistance on each arm could also affect the speed of movement due to the force–velocity relationship of muscles.
NSTALLATION Introduction This Manual provides the Installation, Periodic Mainte- nance, Troubleshooting, Service and Specifications for Cascade E-Series Revolving Clamps. E-Series Clamps are designed for three-shift-a-day continuous-duty operations with minimal maintenance. They offer exceptional visibility for the lift truck driver and provide optimized clamp force and load handling.
(19 L/min.) (28 L/min.) (38 L/min.) Cascade E-Series Revolving Clamps are compatible with SAE 10W petroleum base hydraulic fluid meeting Mil. Spec. MIL-0-5606 or MIL-0-2104B. Use of synthetic or aqueous base hydraulic fluid is not recommended. If fire resistant hydraulic fluid is required, special seals must be used.
E-Series Revolving Clamps can be operated with any of the hydraulic supply arrangements shown below. Refer to Cascade Hose & Cable Reel Selection Guide, Part No. 212199, to select the correct hose reel for the mast and truck. The hose and fitting requirements are: •...
