3 of 7: If you've added a lot of weight inside the elevator, then the weight outside won't be enough to lift the elevator.
4 of 7: The weight outside the elevator must always be greater then the weight inside.
5 of 7: Also, there is a maximum weight that the winch can lift.
6 of 7: Make sure that the outside crate has no more than three cannonballs, or the winch won't lift it.
