Fault Finding
If a problem arises with the Hoist, the Table below will hopefully assists in determining the fault and what actions you can take.
If the fault cannot be found or the fault is found and the action guide does not provide a fix (e.g. – a damaged wire would need
replacement), contact your local Mackworth authorized dealer immediately, a service engineer will be required to repair the
Hoist. Contact details can be found on the last page of this manual.
Fault
Action
The Handset has become disengaged
from the Hoist, or the Handset buttons
are not responding.
Refer to the section 5.3 ‘Connecting The Handset To The Hoist’.
If this does not correct the fault, then contact your local authorised dealer
immediately so the hoist can be checked to ensure proper continued operation.
The handset button command is
continuously activated – UP, DOWN, E-
LOWER.
Turn off the Hoist using the OFF switch on the Cover. Contact your local
authorised dealer immediately so that the hoist can be checked to ensure proper
continued operation.
The handset buttons do not operate
according to their designations (e.g. the

handset has been properly connected.
The indicator light on the control panel should be green and show that there is
power. If it is not then press any coloured button on the handset to activate the
hoist and the indicator light should turn GREEN.
If the hoist still does not function, then the batteries may be low and require
charging. Refer to the section 6.5 'Charging The Hoist '. Charge the hoist for at
least one hour and then try to raise/lower the carry bar.
If none of these resolve the fault, DO NOT use the Hoist. Contact your local
authorised dealer immediately so that the hoist can be checked to ensure proper
continued operation.

but the Hoist does not operate in the

If this corrects the fault temporarily but not permanently then contact your local
authorised dealer so that the Hoist can be checked to ensure proper continued
operation
