It's gotten real cold lately and I've noticed my electric trim is sluggish. The wheel sometimes needs a little manual nudge with my right hand and then it gets going.

The freezing temps may have nothing to do with it but wanted to mention it. Seemed like when I first started my cross country today it was not very cooperative but after 15 or more minutes it was more responsive. It's not a problem with the switch. Power is getting to the motor it just needs a little help getting going. Kinda like an old sewing machine for those of you that know how those work.

Just wondered if this is normal or if there's a setting / adjustment to correct for it.
