I can't seem to attach the Coleman lift system manuals I have in PDF here. Basically follow each cable from the crank area to the 4 posts and make sure the cable hasn't come off any of the pulleys. Lube each pulley with a dry lube like silicone spray (there are a few in the lift posts also). Lower the top all the way and remove the whiffle tree cover (by the crank) clean all the old dirt and grease off, re-lube with a heavy grease of your choice. Don't forget to spread a bunch of grease on the cover also and it is used as a slide. Check the wood inside there to see if the cable connection is somehow digging into the floor of the camper (it shouldn't) DO NOT operate the lift with that cover off...
Also, make sure to level the camper first, raise the roof, THEN put the stabilizers down. Putting the stabilizers down first "could" bind the lift system.
I believe the manuals are available on popupportal.com

Thanks Adam
I did it all and it is amazing how much easier it is to crank up now.
My wife could only take a few turns of the crank before because it was so hard, and I would have to stop three or four times to catch my breath.
Now I can get it right up with out stopping.
I am guessing that this is the first time the pulleys and system has been lubed
Many thanks agin,
