  Timothy Pierce IVAug 18, 2025
  If the actuator on your LiteGait Medical Equipment isn't raising or lowering, there could be a few reasons. First, check the battery charge and charge it fully following the charging instructions. If charging doesn't solve the problem, it might need replacement. Also, ensure that all cable connections to the control box are firmly connected. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it could be a power system problem.
