Why does the motor on my Tuxedo TP11KC-DX not run?
- K
  Kara DaltonAug 13, 2025
  If the motor of your Tuxedo Lifting Systems does not run, several factors could be at play. It might be due to a blown fuse or circuit breaker, in which case you should replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Alternatively, the motor might be receiving incorrect voltage, necessitating a correction to the voltage supply. Check for bad wiring connections; if found, repair and insulate them. Other potential causes include a burned-out motor up switch or overhead limit switch, both requiring replacement. In more severe cases, the motor windings themselves might be burned out, which would require replacing the entire motor.

  If your Tuxedo Lifting Systems lift slowly settles down, it could be due to a few reasons. Debris might be present in the check valve seat or the lowering valve seat, which would require cleaning these components. Also, check for external oil leaks and repair them if found.

Why is my Tuxedo TP11KC-DX Lifting Systems lifting so slowly, or why is oil blowing out the breather cap?
- S
  Steven HarrisonAug 21, 2025
  If your Tuxedo Lifting Systems has a slow lifting speed or oil is blowing out of the breather cap, it could be due to a few reasons. It may be caused by air mixed with the oil, so you should change the oil to a ‘non-foaming’ SAE-10, AW 32 or equivalent. Another possible cause is air mixed with oil suction, in which case you should tighten all suction line fittings. Finally, it could be that the oil is overfilled, so only fill or add oil to the tank when the lift is fully lowered.

What to do if the motor runs but my Tuxedo Lifting Systems lift will not raise?
- G
  Gregory LopezAug 25, 2025
  If the motor runs but the lift of your Tuxedo Lifting Systems won't raise, several issues could be the cause. An open lowering valve may be the problem, requiring repair or replacement. The pump might be sucking air, which means you should tighten all suction line fittings. A suction stub off the pump could also be the cause, necessitating its replacement. Lastly, check the oil level; if it's low, fill the tank with SAE-10, AW 32 or equivalent.

Why don't the locking latches engage on my Tuxedo TP11KC-DX Lifting Systems?
- S
  Sarah CampbellAug 28, 2025
  If the locking latches on your Tuxedo Lifting Systems do not engage, several issues could be at fault. Start by oiling the latch mechanism and greasing the shaft, as latch shafts might be rusted. If that doesn't work, the latch spring might be broken, requiring replacement. Lastly, the latch cable might need adjustment, so adjust the clamps at the cable end.

How to fix a Tuxedo TP11KC-DX that is going up unleveled?
- S
  spencersarahSep 1, 2025
  If your Tuxedo Lifting Systems lift is going up unleveled, the equalizer cables may be out of adjustment, which requires adjusting the length of the cables again. Another cause may be that the lift was installed on an unleveled floor, in that case you should level the floor or level the column base by shims.

Why will my Tuxedo TP11KC-DX Lifting Systems lift raise only without a load?
- K
  kmezaSep 4, 2025
  If your Tuxedo Lifting Systems lift will raise up only without a load, it could be due to several reasons. The motor might be running on low voltage, so ensure you supply the correct voltage to the motor. There might be debris in the lowering valve, requiring you to clean it. The relief valve adjustment could be improper, so replace the relief valve cartridge. Finally, check for overloading and ensure the vehicle weight is balanced on the lift.

What to do if the anchors of my Tuxedo TP11KC-DX will not stay tight?
- J
  jamesparkerSep 8, 2025
  If the anchors of your Tuxedo Lifting Systems will not stay tight, it may be because the holes were drilled oversize, so relocate the lift using a new bit to drill holes. It could also be that the concrete floor thickness or holding strength is not sufficient, in which case you should break out the old concrete and pour new pads, as required for each lift column.
