TROUBLE SHOOTING
Be sure the battery is fully charged before troubleshooting.
Hoist
does not rotate
Does hoist raise or lower?
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 connections on terminal block located on frame for loose wires.
4. Check connection cable for damage.
5. Try operating the hoist using the control buttons on the front panel of the controller. If
the hoist rotates when using the buttons on the control box, the hand control is likely the
problem.
6. If the hoist does not rotate when using the buttons on the control box, reverse the
motor cables as follows: Locate the area on the Control Box where the cables are
attached. Swap the actuator cable from connector #2 with the 24v motor cable from
connector #1. Activate the up and down buttons on the hand control. If hoist rotates, the
problem is likely the hand control. If hoist does not rotate, the problem is likely the 24v
motor.
7. Contact your Authorized Reseller or S.R. Smith for replacement information.
Does hoist raise or lower?
No.
1. Check battery charge level.
2. Check battery connection.
3. Use another fully charged battery. If hoist continues to not function, replace the
Control Box.
