I'd check two things:

(1) If it goes part way up, make sure that one of the many bolt/nut 
combinations that hold the track in place isn't loose and interfering with the 
proper 
movement of the hazer. (I had a couple like this - a problem when you do all 
assembly before final tightening;

(2) If all movement is restricted, check to see that the little lever 
(locking arm) below the hazer assembly is properly releasing the cable tension 
during 
raising/lowering.

P.S. Be very careful when routing your coax.  It's very easy to get it 
wrapped around the tower or hooked on the pins at the top of the hazer.  And 
since 
the antenna must be rotated to the proper side of the hazer for 
raising/lowering, rotor or coax problems can be serious.
