Check the hydraulic fluid first, low fluid or air in the system typically cause that. It could also be a stuck valve or a problem with the lift cylinders. If fluid looks fine, might be time to get a mechanic to check the valves and cylinders.

I had the same problem with my SVL75-2 after using it for a weekend. The arms wouldn't go down because the hydraulic lock didn't turn off all the way. You might want to check the seat switch and safety parts and if they don't work right, the machine won't let the arms move. Also take a look at the hydraulic fluid and the control valve. Sometimes a stuck part inside can cause trouble.

Check your lift arm valve as well.

have you check that if other hydraulics work? Try tilting the bucket. If the bucket tilts but the arms don't lower, the problem is specific to the lift arm circuit. If nothing on the hydraulics works, it's a bigger issue affecting the entire system

Okay, that sounds right. So, if the bucket tips but the arms stay put, it's probably something wrong with the lift circuit. That's pretty smart!
