Have the 2306 solenoid based depot on loan from a friend prior to purchase. He indicated and I can confirm the man pushing the ice moves forcefully as expected based on voltage.
However, the arm that is also solenoid driven that opens the car hatch seems lazy at times and does not extend as far as it should to open the hatch.
Any suggestions on getting the metal arm to extend properly on a regular basis and open the hatch. BTW, the height seems OK as the arm, when it swings out, the finger intended to open the hatch clears the side of the car.
I am using FT and the outside rail to ice depot vertical frame is 15/16"
Would oil or graphite between the metal surfaces of the swing arms be a consideration. There appears to be some rubbing of the metal parts
