Finding the Problem – Before Getting Inside
Please note that most technical problems that can occur with the C800/C1000 occur with
external system components. The following are the key components to check before removing
any lift cover:
• Charger and Charge Connections
• Hand Control and Airline Problems
• Twisted Strap or Slack Tape Issues
• External Thermal Breaker
• Review Trouble Shooting Points in Owner’s Manual
The ceiling lift is a pneumatically operated electro-mechanical device. To diagnose performance
interruption, it is useful to think of the product as three separate systems:

o Wire Harnesses
o Microswitch Up Limit Switch
o Microswitch Down Limit switch
o Quick Disconnects
