VSD Pre-Installation Check List
Prior to installing your lift please follow this
check list to confirm proper operation.
1. Raise the lift up to confirm operation of upper limit switch.
Approach the upper limit switch cautiously by pressing the UP
button in short bursts as you near the top of the lift travel. A
properly working limit switch will stop the lift before the ball
screw reaches its limit of travel. If the limit switch does not
stop the lift and the ball nut reaches the end of the ball screw
you will be able to see the drive unit twisting slightly,
indicating that the motor is trying to run. Also, you probably
would have heard the ball nut hitting the metal stop at the
end of the screw. The brake will still click when stopped at
the limits.
2. Lower the lift down to confirm operation of lower limit
switch. Again, as you approach the bottom of the lift travel
press the DOWN button in short bursts. The lift should stop
with a small amount of slack in the lifting cable after the
cable contacts the lift frame. If the limit switch does not stop
the lift and the ball nut reaches the end of the ball screw you
will be able to see the drive unit twisting slightly indicating
that the motor is trying to run. Also, you probably would
have heard the ball nut hitting the metal stop at the end of
the screw.
If either limit switch does not stop the lift
correctly, contact FLOE customer service and do
not use the lift until the problem is corrected.
3. Listen for unusual noises during lift operation. Squeaking
may indicate that the lift may not have been greased. Both
the thrust bearing and the ball nut MUST be greased before
using the lift. Please see owners' manual for details.
4. If you have a wireless remote it would be good idea to
test it at this time. There is no need to go all the way to the
limit switches since those were tested above. Also check the
inside (amber) light and the mast light if you have one. The
lights come on when their buttons are pressed and go off
with a second press or after about 7 minutes of no light
button activity.
