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

TM

) to the rods. If this does not correct the

problem, check for bent or otherwise damaged rods and
links, and for loose bellcranks.
