SECTION 9 TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

Most of the difficulties encountered, are associated with the safety features built into the Lifton Trio home lift. These 
features are in place to ensure the safe use and comfort of users of the lift. Below is a trouble shooting guide for all 
lifts within the Lifton Range. 
 

Problem

 

Possible Causes

 

Solution

 

1.

 

The lift will not operate. 

a.

 

The most common cause is 
an obstruction of the light 
curtain, which guards the lift 
cab entrance. This can easily 
be caused by a handbag or 
arm. The light curtain (LC) 
light will flash. 

Clear the obstruction and be 
vigilant that there is no 
obstruction periodically blocking 
the light curtain. To prevent this, 
stand closer to the rear wall of 
the lift. 

 

b.

 

The cab operating panel 
(c.o.p.) key switch has been 

switched ‘off’.

 

Turn the key ‘on’. The ‘on’ 

position is when the key is in the 
horizontal position. 

 

c.

 

The c.o.p. emergency stop 
button has been depressed. 

The stop button is a safety stop 
button that requires turning 
clockwise once pressed. Ensure 
the button is pressed, then turn 
clockwise until the button 'pops' 

out. Turn the key switch ‘off’ and 
then back to ‘on’ –

 to reset lift. 

 

d.

 

The lift cab door latch is 
making poor contact with 
the electric strike tongue. 

Move your body position is the 
lift cab and try moving again. 
Slightly lift and/or slightly 
push/pull the lift cab door. Call 
your Authorized Lifton Dealer to 
arrange a service. 

 

e.

 

The main power, from the 
home to the lift is off. This is 
easily identified, as the red 
main switch indicator lamp, 
the in ceiling towards the 
rear of the lift, is off. 

Emergency battery lowering will 
be activated, immediately after 
the power outage. The lift will go 
downwards from the upper level 
to the lower level, if the power 
goes out. If the lift is at the lower 
level, it will not move upwards 
until the power is restored. If the 
power is on in the rest of the 
house, check the indicator light 
on the ceiling of the lift. If this is 
off, wait until power is restored.
