FENTON MOBILITY PRODUCTS, 26 Center Street, Randolph NY 14772 - Shift N Step Operators Manual
15
To re-enable motorized movement of the carriage, the pinion gear must be re-engaged into the rack gear. Using
the “bird’s beak” end of the tool, reverse the disengagement process by “prying” the motor mounting plate back
to the engaged position. The pinion gear teeth must mesh into the rack gear teeth. It may be necessary to slightly
rotate the pinion by use of the push buttons or key selector switch (but in either case,
DO NOT have the Manual
Bypass Tool engaged when doing so
.) until the pinion teeth can mesh properly with the gear rack teeth.
Insufficient engagement may result in gear slippage (which will damage gear teeth) while excessive pressure may
result in binding and excessive wear. Do NOT pry the Motor Plate back into engagement using excessive force.
Once the pinion gear has been properly re-engaged, tighten the slide locking handles. It should not be necessary
(and it is not recommended) that the Manual Override Tool be used when re-tightening the handles as damage
may result. When the handles have been sufficiently tightened, lift them slightly to disengage them from their
shaft and rotate them to point inward, toward the lift. Do NOT leave the slide locking handles pointed outward as
interference with the lift and/or door may occur.
