not sure how old this lift is but based on the newest manual this is the troubleshooting result for 'no lift'
4.2-4 Platform does not Lift
1. Open manual lowering valve V1.
- Close valve. Replace if defective.
2. Hydraulic oil level too low.
- Fully lower the platform. Fill hydraulic tank until fluid is at or slightly above the top mark on the
sight glass.
3. Platform weight excessive.
- Reduce platform load to maximum capacity.
4. Up valve 3H-14 or 3H-14A (Machines with end of stroke limit switch LS3 only) defective or is sticking.
- Check valve. Replace if defective.

knowing the serial number would have a bearing on the troubleshooting of components and selecting the correct service manual.
There are some limit switches on the scissor assembly at the base that could be causing a problem if they are damaged or not adjusted properly or some type of issue with the switch arm/wheels.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
