genie s40 slow extend normal retract

chromelogic ยท 2021-03-26 12:18

Hello, I just purchased a 1995 Genie S40 boom. Everything seems to work good except for the extend on the boom. It is very slow, like 3 min to extend all the way. The retract seems to work fine, probably like 1 min. Both the basket and lower switches are wore out. I already ordered the new switches but are waiting for them to come in. About 2 weeks for shipping. Im thinking the switches are not the problem because they still kinda work. Seems a switch either works or it does not. Does anyone know what would cause this symptom? Thank you very much for any help!

    Just an update, the switch fixed the problem.
