TROUBLESHOOTING
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the prob-
lems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems
occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer
hold a charge.
What if the motor on my lift system will not operate?
! Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.
! Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.
! Check the wiring harness for signs of wear or decay. Replace the harness if necessary.
What if the lift system operates slowly up or down?
! Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.
! Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.

What if the lift platform does not lower completely to the ground?
Check to make sure that the area under the lift platform is free from obstructions.
