Intermittent lowering

I have a customer who has an intermittent lowering issue. If you lift and immediately lower, there is no problem. If you lift and wait a few seconds, it sometimes will not lower. You have to lift it an inch or two and it will work. If you go into the on board display, the readings are okay on lift and lower valve. If you manually try to lower, it won't. We repacked the free lift cylinder and replaced the flow and check valve of the free lift cylinder. It will not lower still. By the way, it will happen on the secondary cylinders too. Any thoughts?

In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
