From the MVP manual it says. "Adjusting the Sensitivity Force — Sensitivity System force adjustment screws are located on the side rails of the Power Unit and can easily be adjusted with a screwdriver. Turn the screws CLOCKWISE for more force and COUNTERCLOCKWISE for less force." If you don't have the manual, you can google MVP and get the manual on-line off their website. That's what I did. If I was down there, I'd stop over and take a look for you... being the ex-engineer that I am, I love tinkering on this stuff.
If it stops and does not move, as ours did, this is the solution. We have no issues once adjusted as described above.
