I went through the manual and found the manual hydraulic lowering solenoid after I wrote that post. Apparently someone else tried fixing the lift when I wasn't around. It was screwed all the way out and cross threaded when they tried to screw it back in. All is well now
Thank you for the fast responce

Need more information: Make Model Serial Number.

Free fall ? Are you saying that the mast starts to descend, on its own ?
