Customer Concern
Customer complains that the top does not open.
Technical Background
	Adjustment of the top may cause its movement to be slower than the control unit expects. If the control unit does
not see a changing signal from the rotation angle sensor within 3 seconds of the pump activation, FC 000042 may
be set. Internal or external leaks in the system can also cause the issue (Internal check valve, lines, rams).
Service Information
	Adjustment of the top and lubrication of the seals should be performed before replacing any parts. Initial adjustment
should be performed at the mounting points, typically in the forward and upward direction.

Service Information (continued)
	
	A finer adjustment can be made at the rear of the top on each side at the stop bolts. Lengthening the bolt a few
millimeters will finish the improvement in the top movement.
