I'm sure I don't have to point out the obvious here. But still keep, keep every part of that mechanism well greased with industrial lubricants. ie if the lead screw is shiny then something is wrong. Also the actual scissor mechanism to should have any sort of scrapping marks. But like I said that is the obvious.
