TROUBLESHOOTING
The following chart is intended to assist with troubleshooting your hydraulic lift. While not all inclusive, the chart outlines
the most common causes of a problem and the recommended course of action.
CAUTION:
IF THE PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT CERTAIN, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY POLICY BEFORE ANY OTHER REPAIR OR
MAINTENANCE IS ATTEMPTED.
SYMPTOM
CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION
Hoses cannot be connected.
System is pressurized. Depressurize the hoses as follows:
a.
Depressurize the male fitting by carefully pressing the
button on the end of the nipple or by briefly tapping the
down switch. Use caution to avoid damaging the nipple
button.
b.
Depressurize the female fitting by tapping the “up”
switch briefly, which will depressurize the pump. If
necessary, depressurize the female fitting on the hose by
carefully pressing the internal button using a 3/8” bolt.
Be careful not to damage the internal O-rings. Wrap the
fitting with a rag while depressurizing to prevent spray.
Keep the connectors clean.
Battery does not keep a charge.
Check the battery fluid levels, age, and time of last booster
charge. The battery must be booster charged at the beginning and
end of the season using a 10A charger.
Verify solar panel or AC charger is plugged in correctly.
Check the voltage output of the solar panel. Output should be
about 14-18 volts when exposed to light.
Verify that the polarity (positive or negative) of the solar panel
matches the battery’s polarity.
Verify that the solar panel gets an adequate amount of light and
the lift usage is within the monthly seasonal limits. The solar
panel may be mounted up to 50 feet away from the battery if
necessary. You may also order a bracket to mount the solar panel
on top of the canopy. The remote control should only be drawing
about 5 mA, and the pump 20 mA. The solar panel has an output
of about 750 mA in direct sunshine.
Battery terminal becomes hot.
Verify cable is clean and tight on battery terminal
Remote control not functioning.
The remote control is designed to stop working if the battery
drops below 11 volts to alert the user that the battery is getting
low. If the lift operates with the up/down switch in the power
supply, but not with the remote, charge the battery using a 10A
booster charger.
