Mast stuck in raised position_Yale GLP 050

I have a Yale GLP 050, the crew was using it today and raised the mast to the full up position. Now the truck will lower to the bottom of the top mast, but the top mast won't lower. If you raise it to the full up position the left lifting chain on the main cylinders will get slack but the right one stays tight. Does this unit have check valves on the cylinders? what else should i look at?
Thanks!

Yep, it was jammed for sure.Had to get our Cat 955 loader to put downward pressure on the forks, got it loose, greased up everything and adjusted the lift chains.Works good, for now! Thanks for the input!

The most likely cause is that the section that won't lower is jammed. This can happen if the mast is not lifted to full height very often or if there is a build up of debris in the channels.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
