Woodpecker Router Lift - new, need help

[Valid8r]

Hey everyone, new member and first post.

I have a new Woodpecker router lift.  I've set it up, installed my router and all seemed fine until...  I was raising and lowering the lift both with the 'T'-Handle and the thumbwheel when all of a sudden the router 'drops' to the bottom of the lift and the 'micro-adjust' threaded rod drops to the floor.  I go 'huh' and look it all over and re-thread the rod back up into the router base plate.  But I'm doing something wrong because the thumbwheel won't raise the router.  There must be something I'm doing wrong with the threaded rod (the hollow one).

I checked the manual, but it doesn't talk about this rod much and I can't find anything on it.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

I would contact WoodPeckers. They have been good on the phone whenever I have called.
