4. Check connection cable for damage. 
5. Reverse the motor cables as follows: Locate the area on the Control Box where the 
cables are attached. Remove the actuator cable from connector #1 and replace it with the 
24v motor cable from connector #2. Activate the up and down buttons on the hand 
control. If lift rotates, the problem is likely the hand control. If lift does not rotate, the 
problem is likely the 24v motor. If this happens contact your Authorized Reseller or S.R. 
Smith for replacement information. 

 

Does lift raise or lower?

 

No. 
1.  Check battery charge level. 
2.  Check battery connection. 
3.  Use another fully charged battery. If lift continues to not function, replace the Control 

Box. 

 
Lift does not Raise or Lower 
 

Does lift rotate? 

 

 

Yes.   
1.  Check connection to Control Box. Be sure plug is pushed in all the way. 
2.  Check hand control connection to Control Box for damaged pins. 
3.  Check connection cable for damage. 
4.  Locate Emergency Buttons on top of Control Box. Activate these buttons using a ball 

point pen. If lift operates properly, the problem is likely the hand control. If lift does 
not operate properly, the problem is likely the actuator. 

 

Does lift rotate?

 

No. 
1.  Check battery charge level. 
2.  Check battery connection. 
3.  Use another fully charged battery. If lift does not function, replace the Control Box.

Spray gear assembly with a heavy duty rust inhibitor and lubricant such as LPS 3 - Heavy-Duty 
Inhibitor  

 

Keep the battery on the charger in a dry temperature controlled area
