## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION THE CONTROL YOU COLUMN LOWER BEARING INSERT HAD PLAY BETWEEN THE CONTROL COLUMN, P/N-0560014-6 AND THE BEARING BUSHING. THIS RESULTED IN LOST MOTION AND PLAY WHEN THE ELEVATOR WAS MOVED UP AND DOWN. PER MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS THE BEARING BUSHING WAS SECURED IN PLACE.
