CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the brake mechanism with the
boat on the lift. If the brake was loosened, the boat’s
weight would cause the cradle of the lift to lower rapidly,
causing potential serious injury or death.
If the lift should raise or lower by itself without operating the
remote control, disconnect the battery cable ring
connectors from the battery posts immediately, if you are
able to do so without the risk of injury. Contact your
local dealer or FLOE International, Inc.
WARNING
Before removing the power unit, the cradle lift beams
must be completely lowered until there is slack in the
main lifting cables. Failure to do so will cause the boat
and lift cradle to suddenly crash downward.
DANGER
Always remove the boat and lower the lift bed
completely before attempting any work.
WARNING
VSD TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
DIAGNOSTICS FOR 24 VOLT VSD POWER UNIT
If the lift looses power and will not raise and/or lower , begin the diagnostic process in the left column below. Follow the arrows as neccesary.
A. Lift won’t go up or down
1. Check to see if the key on the wired remote is turned to
the ON position.
2. Check battery(s) condition and that it is properly charged.
Each battery should have between 12.7 and 13.8 volts.
3. Check to see that all battery connections are corrosion
free, tight and wired properly. (See Fig. 7 on page 9)
4. Check plug connections from the Advanced Switch
Control (ASC) going to limit switch and remote(s) to
ensure they are plugged in properly and making positive
contact.
5. Check the wire connections from the Advanced Switch
Control (ASC) to the motor to ensure they are corrosion
free and making positive contact. Connections are
located under the motor cover.
6. Check auto reset circuit breaker or fuse. If the breaker
has tripped it should reset after a couple of minutes when
it cools down. If not sure it is working, you can bypass it.
• If circuit breaker has tripped or fuse is blown chances
are the motor is drawing too much current and it could
blow the fuse or trip the breaker again. Check the
following:
a. Is the lift overloaded or has it exceeded its max
run/cycle on time
b. Is the brake improperly engaged
• With VSD drive units, if the brake is not releasing
while in operation it will drag and cause the drive to draw
excessive current. You should hear the brake “click” on
the outside end of the VSD power unit box when raising
or lowering the lift.
c. Additionally there may be something causing
friction in the system, such as a problem in the drive train,
or the cable/pulley system has an issue.
B. Lift will only work in one direction
If this occurs, you may have a problem with the end of
travel limit switch(es).
1. Test the end of travel limit switch(es) by using the limit
switch bypass plug located in the tool pouch.
2. To do this, un-plug the limit switch plug going into the ASC
and replace it with the bypass plug.
3. If the cradle is up, press the down button and vice versa.
4. Use extreme CAUTION. When using the bypass plug the
limit switches will no longer shut down the lift when it
reaches the end of its travel. This means you must NOT
run the lift either all of the way up or down.
5. When going up, stop short of the “Stop Here” decals
located on the corner post.
6. When going down, stop as soon as the cradle stops
moving.
