What to do if the UP switch is selected, motor runs but Bil-Jax Lifting Systems will not lift a load?

If the UP switch is selected and the motor runs, but your Bil-Jax Lifting System won't lift a load, the issue could be due to several reasons. First, make sure the load on the platform is 500 lbs or less. Second, check the voltage at the N.O. valve; if there's no voltage, inspect for loose or broken wires; if there is voltage, ensure it's at least 9 volts for the start solenoid to operate, and check the battery and start solenoid, repairing or replacing as needed. Also, verify that the emergency lowering valve is closed. Finally, the mast sections might be dirty, so clean and lubricate them with dry silicone.
