What to do if the Eagle Equipment Lifting Systems motor runs but the platform doesn't rise?

If the motor is running but the platform isn't rising, several issues could be the cause: * The motor direction might be incorrect; try changing the phase sequence. * The hydraulic oil level might be low; add more oil and discard any old oil. * There might be air in the pump; remove the one-way valve and inch the system up to inject oil. Once oil flows out, reassemble the valve. * The overflow valve may be faulty; inspect the sealing elements and clean the valve or replace damaged seals. * The oil return solenoid valve could be jammed; inspect and clean the valve plug. * The oil pump outlet seal might be damaged; remove the gear pump to inspect and replace the seal rings. * The oil filter could be clogged; clean the filter.
