Mechanical Systems
•
Because of a wiring problem. Check the wiring from tape switch assembly to the main
circuit board.
•
Because the Microswitch is malfunctioning. Replace the switch or re-align it.
2. The lift motor seems to be running, but does not work in UP or DOWN direction.
The motor output shaft or worm wheel of the motor may have worn out. The acceleration
activated the overspeed governor, which is designed to prevent further use until the lift has
been repaired. (The overspeed governor is a universal, failsafe mechanical brake, which is
triggered by centrifugal force and functions independently of the lift’s pneumatic electro-
mechanical system.) The motor will need to be replaced.
Mechanical Systems
1. The charger system does not work
The P-600 lift charger system has three components: a charger, wiring harness and circuit
board.
•
Check that power is coming into the charger: the indicator light on the charger should
be green when the lift is not parked in the charging station.
•
Check the connections from the charger to the neutrik port on the lift
•
Check the board by plugging the white plug into a replacement board.
2. The Up/Down buttons on the hand control and the lift do not work
•
Simultaneous failure of the pneumatic and electrical systems, strongly indicate a circuit
board failure. Confirm this by hooking a replacement board. In the case of emergency
lowering, if the replacement board does not resolve the problem, the fault is in the
“slack tape” lower limit switch. (See point #1 ‘If the lift goes down to the end of the strap
and then goes up again with up and down functions reversed.’)
