Free lift cylinder not moving

My free lift cylinder is not going up, instead the outer stages go up first. I got a new seal kit coming but I am not sure thats the problem. Also someone before installed a new diverter/ flow control valve and I am not sure it was hooked up properly. I cant find a hydraulic diagram for the life of me. The model on the lift mechanism is E50MT043 00039M. Any help would be appreciated.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
