Ade1971 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi All I have had the above for about a year, it as always been stored inside, but for some unknown reason whenever i now pull the trigger the legs no longer fall under their own weight and i have to manually (forcefully) pull them out and the same when closing by pushing them in. has any body else had this happen to theirs ? Thanks in advance Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosthunter Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ive only just got mine last week. Would it be down to lack of lubrication? rust buildup maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Get some PTFE spray and coat the legs, wiping off any excess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bali Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Inside the legs are ball bearing type thingies that get stuck try lubrication down the legs if not you need to take the leg apart by separating the leg from the plastic shroud. This is held in place by glue and not threaded once you have lubricated everything re glue the shroud back on and you should be good for another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
