Wrench
1/4" socket

4. The wrench fits over the 1/4" hex shaft at the
end of the drive motor. It is designed to be
rotated by hand — clockwise, which will turn
the screw and lower the platform.
See Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10
5. If you have a 3/8" drive ratchet or a cordless
drill with a 3/8" socket adapter bit you can use
the 1/4" socket for lowering. Power the drill in
the forward direction - rotating clockwise to
lower the platform. See Figure 6-11.
Figure 6-11
NOTE: The drive motor is equipped with a low holding
force brake to prevent the platform from drifting with
heavy loads. Lowering the platform with the brake
engaged will require a bit of strength, typically the
equivalent of being able to lift 20 lb with one arm.
6. If the lift has power, press and hold the button
on the control board labeled BRAKE. This
will release the brake and make lowering the
platform a little easier.
7. Rotate the motor shaft clockwise to lower the
platform.
NOTE: Do not attempt to raise the platform. The required
torque to do so is substantially higher.
8. Stop rotation when the platform is level with
the lower landing.
9. Release the BRAKE button if pressed.
10. If the lower gate/door does not open, the
crescent key can be used to release it.
11. Use disconnect to remove all power from lift.
Wait for a Ameriglide dealer to service and inspect
the lift prior to using it again.
WARNING
!
Do not use an impact drill to move the lift.
