overheating ruled out Dopplemayr suggested that the electrical pattern maximum might be set to low. We checked
What they had set it out and they told up to increase it as that would still be well within the designed safety tolerance. We did
and reopened. Our Head of Lift Msintenance sat with the lift for a few hours Sunday so that seems to
have been the problem. Hopefully we don't need the chicken blood.
It's like owning the older but you-know-it-well car, having it completely restored, then having it break down on the freeway at the start of a cross-country trip! Gotta be happening to other areas, they just don't have active forums to display the pain like the Bushies do. And sure, they don't have the limited # of lifts up a long vertical so it is painful for the paying customer.

Not like they aren't trying. Of course my business consultant would say ' effort that doesn't have positive results are nothing more than fleeting effort.' Can't take that to the bank, still I empathize with the company trying to run the place.
