Diagnostic messaging

Actuator Overload
When an actuator overload occurs the EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 computer records the event to protect the unit’s 

components, and an ‘ACTUATOR OVERLOAD’ message will display. An event count is stored in the 
Customer Settings menu under ‘Actuator Overload Counts’. This read-only count can be accessed at any time. 
Possible causes of actuator overload include lifting a patient that is heavier than the rated capacity of the unit, if 
the Smart Lift is obstructed by another object during lifting or mechanical failure occurs (internal actuator 
binding, etc.). In the event of an actuator overload, the EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 will only operate in the DOWN 

direction.
When the actuator overload count is greater than 4, a fault message will display when the unit is turned on, 
reading ‘ACTUATOR OVERLOAD…CALL EZ WAY SERVICE’.   When this message appears call the EZ Way 
Service Department at 1-800-627-8940. 

Weight Overload – Available for EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 with Scale

When an UP or DOWN command is executed the circuit board monitors weight readings from the scale load 
cell. If the weight measured is higher than the rated capacity of the EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 the control will 

recognize this condition and a ‘WEIGHT OVERLOAD’ message will display. An event count is stored in the 
Customer Settings menu under ‘Weight Overload Counts’. This read-only count can be accessed at any time. 
The weight overload may result from lifting a patient that is heavier than the rated capacity of the unit, if the 
Smart Lift is obstructed by another object during lifting or a scale load cell failure occurs. 
To override a ‘WEIGHT OVERLOAD’ press the DOWN key. The EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 will only operate in 

the DOWN direction during a weight overload. When the weight overload count is greater than 4 a fault 
message will display when the unit is turned on. The message reads ‘WEIGHT OVERLOAD…CALL EZ WAY 
SERVICE’. When this message appears call the EZ Way Service Department at 1-800-627-8940.
