Overly-tight 3ph lever on 2520

[GordNovo]

Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird issue with my 2520. Would love to hear if anyone's experienced it......

I've noticed the 3ph lever has become much harder to move forward and back (down and up) as of late. When I say hard to move, I mean you really gotta apply pressure to get it to go in either direction. I tried going back and forth quickly a few times while running and while machine is off, but it's made no difference. The 3ph still raises and lowers as per normal.

Any thoughts?

PS> I've got 25 hrs on the clock.

Mine did that a while ago... A little grease on the joints and the friction plate cured it right up.

Mines always been kinda tight since i had it. i never thought much
of it. I may grease it a bit. ......

I used penetrating oil on mine and it fixed it for a while. Grease should work better. JC

Thanks kenny , I went out tonight and shot a little chain and cable lube on the joints and the slide. Now its nice and smooth....
