Service

Not sure if I am posting in right forum, but I have a genie super hoist 5.6. The hoist will lift telescopically with compressed air, but when I stop the hoist does not stay in place and begins to slowly slide down. Apply more air will bring it back up, but will gradually slide down again

Does anyone have experience with this? This is fixable or considered broken. ? Is it worth fixing? Thanks for your input.
