Problem 

Possible Causes 

Remedy 

 

4) Flow controller may be 

fully closed. 

Open flow controller as described in section 4.11. 

 

5) Thermal overload on 

motor contactor may 
have tripped.  (Three 
phase lift table only)  
This condition will 
invariably have 
occurred during raise 
and will also have 
disabled the raise 
function. 

Reset the overload by opening the contactor box and 
pressing the red reset button on the overload.  Investigate 
and rectify the source of the overload before lowering the lift 
table in case access beneath the platform is required.   

 

6) Down solenoid fuse on 

the control board may 
have blown  

Check the down solenoid fuse mounted on the control board.  
Open the enclosure housing the control board and check the 
fuse with a multi-meter.  The fuse is 1 amp 1" long x 1/4" 
diam ceramic type.  When replacing the board, carefully 
bunch cores beneath the board.  Ensure that board stand-
offs sit in the bottom of the box without fouling cables. 

SmartLift diagnosis as follows:

 

(1) Check that the orange "Power on" LED is on and that the 
red "Safety bar tripped" is off.

 

(2) Press the down control.  If the green "Down control 
made" is on and the orange "Power to down solenoid" is not, 
the down solenoid fuse on the board is blown.

 

Lift table will 
not lower. 
Cont. 

7) If none of the above, a 

mechanical, electrical 
or hydraulic fault may 
exist. 

Contact your Safetech agent. 

SmartLift diagnosis:

 

(1) Fault in controller

 

i. Check that the orange "Power on" LED is on.

 

ii. Press the down control.  The green "Down control made" 
LED should illuminate, regardless of the status of the safety 
bar.  If not, there is an electrical fault in the controller.

 

(2) Burnt out solenoid

 

i. Check that the orange "Power on" LED is on.

 

ii. Remove the solenoid from the valve spindle and insert a 
screwdriver through the bore as described below.

 

iii. Press the down control.  If the green "Down control made" 
and the orange "Power to down solenoid" illuminate but 
magnetic pull cannot be felt on the screwdriver, the solenoid 
is burnt out. 

 

With causes 1,3, 5, & 6 the solenoid will not be energised when the down control is pressed. 

With causes 2 & 4, the solenoid will be energised. 

The energising of the solenoid can be verified be removing the solenoid from the down valve spindle, 
inserting a screwdriver through the solenoid bore and pressing the down control.  If the solenoid 
energises, the magnetic pull can be clearly felt on the screwdriver.  This is a useful test to help isolate 
problems.
