To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is the crank on my Suspa Lifting System difficult to turn?
If the crank on your Suspa Lifting System turns with difficulty, it might be because you've reached the upper or lower limit. Stop rotating the crank. Alternatively, the workstation movement might be obstructed; ensure there's clearance. Finally, check if the system load exceeds the rating and remove weight if needed.
What to do if the crank on my Suspa Lifting System turns but does not extend or retract?
If the crank on your Suspa Lifting System turns but doesn't extend or retract the system, ensure the crank handle is fully installed onto the pump shaft. If the issue persists, it might be due to a broken pusher block, in which case you should contact Suspa® Incorporated for a replacement pump.
Why is there uneven lift cylinder retraction in my Suspa Lifting System?
Uneven lift cylinder retraction in a Suspa Lifting System can occur due to insufficient lift cylinder load. Try adding load to the system. It also can be caused by flexible tubing lengths being too long. Contact Suspa Incorporated for tube shortening instructions.

Ensure the correct Movotec Lift System is selected for the application, checking load capacity and adjustment range.
Handle components carefully, keeping cables and tubing away from heat, sharp edges, and moisture. Replace damaged parts immediately.
Inspect all components for damage before installation. Do not disassemble components; contact Suspa for defective parts.
Installation, operation, and repair should only be performed by trained, qualified individuals aware of safety instructions and regulations.
Do not operate outdoors, in damp/wet conditions, corrosive environments, or near flammable/explosive materials. Avoid extreme temperatures and vibration.
Use only for intended function. Ensure 2 in. clearance to prevent pinching. Do not allow obstructions to impede movement.
Not recommended for children to operate. Close supervision is necessary if used by or near children.
System rated for 10% duty cycle (1 min. on, 9 min. rest). Do not exceed max on-time of 1 minute to prevent overheating and damage.
Route cords carefully to avoid pinching or trip hazards. Use only authorized parts and fluids.
To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not insert objects into the system when powered.
Before maintenance, remove load, unplug controller, and stabilize workstation. Prevent personal injury or property damage.
Always retract the lift system fully before moving equipment to prevent property damage and personal injury.
Unplug controller, allow system to cool. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid corrosive agents or high pressure wash.
Motor controllers convert AC to DC for gear motors, controlling speed, direction, and synchronization for level lifting.
Gear motors rotate clockwise, driving pusherblocks down leadscrew, returning fluid to pressure elements for retraction.
Details dimensions for lift cylinders in extended and retracted states, including adjustment range and thread specifications.
Details specifications for the Movotec gear motor, including voltage, speed, current, and torque ratings.
Provides specifications for the motor controller, including voltage, temperature range, and dimensions.
Details the operating voltage and current for the surface mount switch and provides its dimensions.
Properly locate and connect all system components, including pumps, controllers, and cables, ensuring safe and correct connections.
Mount motorized pumps horizontally, ensuring adequate tubing reach and bend radius. Consider optional motor covers.
Place motor controller centrally towards the back of the workstation for sufficient power cord length and proximity to motors.
Mount the switch on the workstation for user accessibility, ensuring enough cable length to reach the motor controller.
Locate lift cylinders vertically and parallel for balanced load and to prevent binding. Use brackets to reduce drilling.
Route hydraulic tubing and power cables away from sharp edges, moisture, and heat. Secure with provided clips and ties.
Mount motorized pump assemblies to the surface, ensuring units are tightly secured.
Place motor controllers in desired locations, ensuring cable reach. Secure controllers using mounting screws.
Place and align the low-profile switch on the underside of the work surface. Mount and secure with screws.
Connect motor cables, switch cable to the master control box, and power cord to the controller IEC port.
Unwrap lift cylinders and templates. Clean workstation surfaces and apply templates for drilling mounting holes.
Coil excess hydraulic tubing into 6-inch diameter coils and attach to workstation. Ensure tubing is secured and undamaged.
Thread glides into lift cylinders. Re-orient workstation so glides contact floor. Adjust glides to achieve a level work-surface.
Check electrical/hydraulic connections, look for damage, ensure components are secure, and verify minimum load for retraction.
Ensure power supply voltage matches controller nameplate and all cables are connected before powering on.
System is tested before shipping. If issues arise, perform reset procedure or contact Suspa technical support.
Press 'up' arrow on switch. Continue holding until desired height or upper limit is reached for system extension.
Press 'down' arrow on switch. Continue holding until desired height or lower limit is reached for system retraction.
System rated for 10% duty cycle (1 min on/9 min rest). Duty cycle monitoring prevents overheating and malfunctions.
Controller slows gear motors before reaching limits, providing an indicator for fully extended or retracted height.
Procedure to reset motor controller and pumps to 'home' positions due to new controller, disconnected cable, or unusual behavior.
Promptly correct overload conditions to prevent premature wear of mechanical and electrical components.
Ensure proper alignment of motor and pump shafts to prevent noise, uneven wear, and premature system failure.
Keep system components clean to prevent dust and dirt from causing wear in moving parts and restricting ventilation.
Inspect power cords and hydraulic tubing for aging and wear. Replace damaged parts to prevent breakdowns and injury.
