Hi Everyone,

Is there any expert on here who could help my electric hood work correctly..?

I know everyone says to convert this to a manual hood, but I would like to try and keep this early electric hood working.. and as original as possible. :)

The hood is still fully working, but the timing on the horseshoe is off. What I mean is the horse shoe starts to close to early or too late..

Any help or an expert who could fix this for a charge please let me know.

thanks, Tripper

Either your raising or lowering rods need adjusting, or the micro switches need to be adjusted for the horseshoe mech. I suspect the latter. Got any pics?
