Am not sure what you mean by caping the line what l would do would be to put a hyd gate between the lift line and hyd valve lift spool then raise the mast and shut the gate off watch the lift cylinder if it starts to come down l would check the lift packing if it does not move l would have the control valve looked at possible leaking past lift spool back to tank.
