  Christopher GarciaJul 29, 2025
  There are several potential reasons why the platform may not be raising: * The power may be disconnected. Ensure that the power is connected and that the disconnect circuit breaker or fuses are not tripped. * The motor may be miswired. Verify that the motor has been wired according to the motor wiring diagram. * The overload may have tripped. Push the RESET button on the overload relay. * Debris may be lodged on or around the leveler. Inspect and remove any materials that may be obstructing the leveler. * The hydraulic fluid level may be low. Check the oil level when the unit is held open with the maintenance support and refill if necessary.

  The platform might be raising slowly due to: 1. Weight on the platform: Remove any weight from the platform. 2.

Low voltage: Verify that the voltage is within ± 10% of the nominal voltage while the unit is running. 4. Power unit/pump/motor failure: In this case, replace the power unit assembly.
