## Discrepancy

AFTER POSITIVE RATE OF CLIMB DURING TAKEOFF THE GEAR WOULD NOT FULLY RETRACT, WHEN THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS MOVED TO THE UP POSITION THE MAIN GEARS WOULD NOT STOW AND THE RED GEAR UNLOCK LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED.  TROUBLESHOT LANDING GEAR SYSTEM, FOUND GEAR HANDLE WAS NOT ACTIVATING THE MICRO SWITCHES (LEVER HANGING UP).  ACCESS GEAR HANDLE, LUBED MICRO SWITCH RAMP AND LEVER.  CYCLED GEAR APPROX 12 TIMES, ALL OPS CHECKS GOOD REF THE CESSNA 560 MM CHAPTER 32-31-01 & 32-30-00.
