Review the needle, rod seating, and the screw lift for smooth, repeatable movement. On this system, the drop action is designed to be frictionless and the lift is handled by a screw lifting system, so the main maintenance focus is clean motion, correct alignment, and no play or drag in the moving parts.

A practical check usually includes:

• needle and rod condition
• free travel through the full lift range
• debris or cement residue around the sliding component
• stable reading from the displacement measurement system

If the motion feels uneven or the reading drifts, that is typically the first area to inspect.
