The chains should have some tension on them when the mast is fully collapsed and the channels are setting on their poly stops. I once had a mast on this model truck with a channel up a few inches and it turned out to be the bolt that holds the mast to the truck at the bottom of the mast. It was sticking out and keeping the mast channels up a bit.
