That stuff will burn. When I worked in the garage, I knew guys to spray WD40 instead of starting fluid and the cars would start. I would recommend some sort of contact cleaner. Make real sure the power is off, those I believe are 220 volts. Take the top off and make sure the arms move apart and together. Then you can try flushing the pivot points with some contact cleaner. Try moving the arms again to see if they are moving easier. Work at it a short while to be sure they are pretty loose. Then wipe everything as clean as you can and put the top back on the box. See if the well works better now.
