help diagnosing a grinding noise

hey all,

 

I inherited an Ultimaker 2+ from a previous coworker, but this thing has been sitting in storage for a few years. I'm very new to 3d printing (I've only ever done it with machines maintained by other people), so I'm having some difficulty debugging what seems to be a mechanical issue. Here is a video:

You'll see that the printing head gets kind of gummed up as it swings from left to right, and there's a very loud grinding sound. Any tips on how I should approach fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
Wes
