[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt morning sickness

[Steve Garrison]

Well while some might think that normal, I'd say that something was wrong and the machine needs some type of service.  Something is binding in some manner.  Maybe some old grease that when cold doesn't allow the proper motion, but when it gets warm it seems OK.  Since it clears up after a few minutes maybe just let it go for now, but eventually it may become more evident where the problem lies.
