NOTE:
If you do not wish to use the installed lifts, move them to the [UP] position (see Section 4.01.7.1) and set the Lift
Switch to [OFF]. The lift carriers can now be used as a manual basket hanger.

below [ADD], the controller may issue a LOW OIL LEVEL error & alarm, and as safeguard
against fire, the heating elements will be turned OFF and remain disabled until the condition corrected.
