The pump speed control knob is attached to the shaft of an encoder that is used to adjust the speed. insufficient lubrication within the encoder increases friction over time making it more difficult to turn the pump speed control knob. excessive friction causes premature wear of the encoder shaft which can result in a stuck shaft.
