MAINTENANCE-FREE MOTOR
Both the 120 Volt and the 24-Volt lifts use a high-torque motor. This is an extremely efcient and durable
internally geared motor that has the brake built into it. Its sealed oil-lled gear box keeps the internal
gears permanently lubricated, making the motor virtually maintenance-free.
VSD Pre-installation Check List
Prior to installing your lift please follow this check list to conrm proper operation:
1. Raise the lift up to conrm operation of upper limit switch. Approach the upper-limit cautiously by
pressing the UP button in short bursts as you near the top of the lift travel. A properly working limit
switch will stop the lift before the ball screw reaches its limit of travel. If the limit switch does not stop
the lift and the ball-nut reaches the end of the ball-screw you will be able to see the drive unit twisting
slightly, indicating that the motor is trying to run. Also, you probably would have heard the ball nut hitting
the metal stop at the end of the screw. The brake will still click when stopped at the limits.
2. Lower the lift down to conrm operation of lower limit switch. Again, as you approach the bottom of
the lift travel press the DOWN button in short bursts. The lift should stop with a small amount of slack
in the lifting cable after the cradle contacts the lift frame. If the limit switch does not stop the lift and the
ball-nut reaches the end of the ball-screw you will be able to see the drive unit twisting slightly indicating
that the motor is trying to run. Also, you probably would have heard the ball nut hitting the metal stop
at the end of the screw.
If either limit switch does not stop the lift correctly, contact your FLOE dealer and do not use the lift until
the problem is corrected.
3. Listen for unusual noises during lift operation. Squeaking may indicate that the lift may not have
been greased. The ball screw MUST be greased before using the lift. Please see owners’ manual for
details.
4. If you have a wireless remote it would be a good idea to test it at this time. There is no need to go all
the way to the limit switches since those were tested above. Also check the mast light if you have one.
The lights come on when their buttons are pressed and go off after about 15 minutes.
