Usually it is either a stuck lever or the trip arm not pushing right. My favorate solvent is WD-40 to remove the old grease then relube with syntheic oil (ie 5w-15) some times a bit of white lithium grease too. Generally all of the levers trips etc need to be able to move freely. Might have a paper copy of the manual (we were doing dual warranty at the time these were new) but usually the manual is not that helpful on these, they are just mechanicly rather elabrate for a turntable. My father is actaully at the shop today who is the real expert when it comes to these.

Most problems are caused by dried grease/oil that won't allow trip levers to move like they should. I have used tuner cleaner as a quick way to find that type of problem but after locating it, you need to disassemble it and clean it. Then oil it if it' is supposed to be oiled, but some are supposed to be dry.
