12.5 OPERATION BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES
The apparatus that the Extend-A-Gun is mounted to may be stored in sub-freezing conditions. However, the Extend-A-Gun RC is
not designed to operate in sub-freezing conditions. If in the rare instance that the Extend-A-Gun becomes inoperable due to a frozen
condition, it may still be used in the lowered position.
12.6 CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS
The Extend-A-Gun RC is designed to produce a short burst of maximum lifting power. This is provided by a combination of a powerful
motor and a high torque gearbox. The motor/gearbox combination means that heat quickly builds up in the motor. As the heat
increases, the effi ciency decreases, thus reducing power and speed.
12.7 CURRENT LIMITING
The Extend-A-Gun RC is designed to produce a short burst of maximum lifting power. The drive train is protected by a current
limiting setting. When the Extend-A-Gun RC is being raised, the unit is provided with maximum allowable current to lift and still
protect the mechanism from damage when an obstruction is encountered. When the Extend-A-Gun RC is being lowered, the drive
is programmed to run at a slower speed and the current limit is reduced.
12.8 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the Extend-A-Gun is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life
of the Extend-A-Gun may be shortened due to the eff ects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
13.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Leaks Debris or damage in seal area Clean out debris or replace damaged parts
Binding,
Erratic operation
Low Voltage (see below) See Below
Does not raise Low voltage due to:
- wire gage too small
- wire length too long
- poor connection
- inadequate apparatus electrical system
Mechanical Binding
- damage to chain drive
Check connections and wiring per section 7.3
Verify voltage is above 8 volts.
Use manual override to verify mechanical operation.
Consult Factory

14.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The Extend-A-Gun RC requires little maintenance. The Extend-A-Gun RC should be kept clean and free of dirt. All controls should
be checked for freedom of movement and proper operation before each use. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired
or replaced immediately. Consult factory for recommended service procedure.
• Make sure that the Extend-A-Gun RC operates freely and without binding throughout its range of travel.
• Make sure that there are no leaks when the Extend-A-Gun RC is fl owing water.
14.1 LUBRICATION
The Extend-A-Gun RC is permanently lubricated on the cup seal. If lubricant has been removed during service, then apply a thin fi lm
of White Lithium Grease on seal surfaces.
