main cilinder in mast (# D-30389) does not lower, unless i add about 130 lbs of weight

I removed the chains and the carriage lowers with no problem, the cilinder does not lower i disconnect the hidraulic hose from the control valve and the cilinder itself, and it will not lower i have to add weight in order for the cilinder to lower, Is there a check valve inside the cilinder? or is the packing keeping it from lowering?any suggestion before i repack the cilinder? it lifts ok and does not leak.....

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
