The caveat with the power framing/focus is that it needs to be removed to replace the framing coupler or remove the soundhead. To the potential causes of instability I'd add a bent skate post (close the gate too hard without a skate in and you can bend it) and a worn intermittent sprocket (it'd be loud). Be sure to tighten the lock screw after adjusting the skate post height or it'll work its way back down. Follow the instruction manual for installing and adjusting the intermittent sprocket and end play adjustment.  |  IP: Logged
