Front leg issue

[stiles watson]

When setting up, I get the front legs up about 5" to 6", I start hearing a clicking noise after the pressure is off the hitch plate and the load is totally on the legs. As I move higher, the frequency of the clicks increases. If I were at the maximum height, I would assume the clicks would indicate that I had reached the maximum. However, this occurs with at least 6" to 10" of extention potential remaining.

I have been told that there are two size motors that drive the legs and that this may be the smaller one and is overloaded, so the "clutch" is slipping. Since I am not fully loaded, this could be a problem. Hand cranking up or down is not enjoyable.

I have not been into the mechanism yet and do not fully understand its operation. Please advise.

Stiles, you might want to email or call MIMF, Dale Brubaker, about this. Or maybe he'll be along shortly. I have his email address and phone number, email me if you want them. He should know the answer to your question.

Stiles,
Don't wait to check this out. We had one leg go bad because the crossover bar sheared, then the entire motor assembly fell out. Get it check ASAP and good luck.
