Why is my WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW Gate Opener losing power?
If your WORKMASTER Gate Opener is gradually losing power but still runs at full free speed, there might be worn internal parts or sticking due to a lack of lubricant. Check the in-line lubricator sight glass or the presence of air motor oil. Also, check for excess grease by rotating the Square Drive by hand; it should turn freely. Disassembly is required for greasing.
