CA Lift Arm Problem

I was using my CA to brush mow and was utilizing the remote ram connection. When I lifted the implement the lift arms also went up, but when lowering the implement, the lift arms would remain in the up position. After removing the implement from the remote, I could not get the lift arms to depress, even after standing on them. I had to hook up to two CA rear wheel weights with a chain to each lift latch in order to finally get the lift arm rams to lower. After getting them to lower, I raised them up and then lowered them to see if gravity would depress them which did not happen but at least now I could depress them by pulling them down by hand. I then went discing with the CA and had no problem raising the disc and then having the rams come down with the weight of the disc.
A few questions:
1) When using the remote, should the hydraulic pump be set for drawbar, hold or delayed lift position, and if so, did I have it set wrong (It was on drawbar control).
2) Is there something wrong with the internals of the pump to cause this to happen or could it be a hydraulic pump setting error?

Thanks in advance.
