Check the Column Movement
1. Move the compression paddle out of compression. Then check that all four sets of column up/down
control buttons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of the column).
2. Move the column to its upper and lower limits. Software limits should stop movement. If the software
limits fail, the optical forks are used to recognize and stop any movement before impact with mechan-
ical stops.
3. During column movement, check for any noise that indicates excessive friction or binding.
4. Move the lift over its full stroke 5 times to initiate proper self-greasing of the gas spring.
