TROUBLESHOOTING THE BASKET LIFT SYSTEM

TROUBLESHOOTING

THE BASKET LIFT

If the basket lift motors are activating, but the basket lift fails to raise or lower, or if its movement is erratic, the probable cause is jamming or binding of the basket lift rods. Apply a light-weight white grease (such as LubriplateTM ) to the rods. If this does not correct the problem, check for bent or otherwise damaged rods and links, and for loose bellcranks.
