1997 Coleman Laredo Lift System Help

[Jnbaun]

A buddy of mine has this PU and can't get the left mechanism to engage. Any help or suggestions appreciated. (The shear pin on it is good)

There is a bigPDF of the lift system manual. It used to be linked on popup explorer. to use it you must know Which "series" the 97 Laredo
was part of. Our 2000 Timberlake was part of the "Destiny" series. the different sections of the manual are divided up by these series designation.WWhat might be your buddy's problem: There is a nut holding a spring inside the crank tube, that spring might be messed up,Or the crank tube threads might be messed up. The crank tube is the tube into which one inserts the crank handle.Hope this helps. PM me, While the whole pdf is too big to email, I might br able to send the relevant pages. -Dave
