Hi
For reasons that I don't understand, my release cable to the safety bar (the one which must be released to lower top) has a lot of resistance most of time, even though I am following directions to raise and pull simultaneously. As best I can tell, the friction seems to be in the first few inches of it--maybe where it makes a 90 degree turn from the cable inside trailer to just underneath where cable is housed in plastic tubing for several feet until it gets fairly close to the safety bar.
More data: If some one pushes the switch to raise trailer, after safety bar is lock, I can easily release safety bar manually while under the trailer. There has to be a better way!
Do some one have any ideas?
Has any one had this problem? Fix recommendations? Is this mechanism trouble free for most of you. . . I have not seen problem discussed since I joined this great group.
More Date: Prior owners had some trouble tripping it for us when showing us the rig. The problem has slowly become worse. This trailer only 2 years old, and they only used it 2 times they said, and I believe them, as there were not signs of wear or usage. Looked new, so be bought it.
Thanks,
