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.
