One side of the grill base will not rise up when we hit the pedal. one side work, the other doesn't. any clue how to fix?we have put the grill on it and followed the instructions but only only side goes up
One one side, there is a gas strut which is connected to the other side via a cable, similar to that which you would find on a bicycle for the brake. When the strut side raises (it uses this cable and a series of pulley's) it shortens the cable and raises the other side. With use, this cable where's and can slide off the pulley. It could also be that this cable has been damaged, although the prior is more likely the case. It's fairly easy to disassemble and inspect. One regular and one small philips screw driver, along with a pair of needle nose plier are all the tools necessary. If you would like further info. please let me know.
voznaj...I would more information. I will probably be taking mine apart, but could use some help.voznaj...I would more information. I will probably be taking mine apart, but could use some help.
I no longer have the grill, but the mechanism that supports the rise on both sides is nothing more than a strut, a cable, and a pulley. If you have any questions after disassembly, let me know. I ended up taking the stock strut out and sending it to a custom shop to make one to the exact specifications. I received 2 at a cost of $80 total. The only question they will have is how many lbs it will support. I believe I had them made for 30#, but I would recommend 50#.I no longer have the grill, but the mechanism that supports the rise on both sides is nothing more than a strut, a cable, and a pulley.
