Troubleshooting
This section describes how to troubleshoot your Lift.
Note: If your Lift is not functioning correctly, you must take it out of service until it is fixed.
Important: All repair work
must
be done by qualified personnel.
Issue Action to Take
Platform moves erratically
or squeaks when in use.
Move the Platform up and down a few times, with a break between
each; there could be residual air in the Hydraulic Hoses.
Platform does not go up or
down.
Make sure there is sufficient Hydraulic Fluid in the reservoir.
Make sure there is no air in the Hydraulic System.
Make sure none of the Hydraulic Lines are pinched or leaking.
Make sure the Power Unit is getting power.
If the Hydraulic Fluid is dirty, replace it with clean Hydraulic Fluid.
Make sure lift is not overloaded.
Lowering value may be clogged. Remove the valve, then check the
valve opening for blockage; clear blockage if found.
Hydraulic Fluid is dirty. Replace the dirty fluid with clean, approved Hydraulic Fluids, such as
Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, Shell Tellus S4 / S3 / S2,
or comparable.
Lift makes odd noises. Lubricate hinge points using white lithium grease.
The Platform is slowly
lowering.
Make sure the Autostacker is on a Safety Lock (if not, Hydraulic Fluid
could be leaking out, lowering the Platform).
Motor not running. Check connection to power source.
Check the wiring diagram.
