Default Setting
Starting Amps
This is the level that the elevator starter will hold the current limit to
during the start. Keep in mind that while lower settings reduce the
inrush currents, they increase the starting time. This setting should
not be less than twice the motor’s FLA.

current rating as
measured in Amps
Overload Amps
This setting should be set at or below the FLA of the hydraulic pump
motor.

from the factory default of ABC rotation, select the right key, which
causes the ABC to flash and select the up key. To exit select the left
