Hi my name is Alec, can anyone help with my wee problem.
The ( project 2000) retractable step has started only coming out about 4 inches then stops, it then retracts ok but wont come out any further than 4 inches.
Can you help please.

Hi Alecm welcome.

Have you tried checking and cleaning the step mechanism

 

[Alec]

I have just got home from Scotland but plan to do that tomorrow.

The fact that it is still operatic g I dictates it likely needs a clean and lubrication.
Not familiar with your exact step but it may also have some firm of adjustment or stops.

 

[Alec]

Thank you for your prompt reply, I have just got back from scotland but that is on my to- do list for tomorrow.

I had a problem with my step a few years ago, a good clean and spray with lubricant soon sorted it out, oh and welcome to FUN.

Hi David, I have been out with a spanner and wound it out by hand sprayed it with WD and put some grease on the chain and it is working fine.
Thank for your help.

Not a good idea if it has plastic side runners as WD 40 attacks a lot of plastics and makes them swell.
