VSD Pre-installation Check List
1. Raise the lift up to confirm operation of upper limit switch. Approach the
upper limit switch cautiously by pressing the UP button in short bursts as you
near the top of the lift travel. A properly working limit switch will stop the lift
before the ball screw reaches its limit of travel. If the limit switch does not stop
the lift and the ball nut reaches the end of the ball screw you will be able to see
the drive unit twisting slightly, indicating that the motor is trying to run. Also,
you probably would have heard the ball nut hitting the metal stop at the end of
the screw. The brake will still click when stopped at the limits.
2. Lower the lift down to confirm operation of lower limit switch. Again, as you
approach the bottom of the lift travel press the DOWN button in short bursts.
The lift should stop with a small amount of slack in the lifting cable after the
cable contacts the lift frame. If the limit switch does not stop the lift and the ball
nut reaches the end of the ball screw you will be able to see the drive unit
twisting slightly indicating that the motor is trying to run. Also, you probably
would have heard the ball nut hitting the metal stop at the end of the screw.
Prior to installing your lift please follow this check list to
confirm proper operation.
If either limit switch does not stop the lift correctly, contact
FLOE customer service and do not use the lift until the
problem is corrected.
3. Listen for unusual noises during lift operation. Squeaking may indicate that
the lift may not have been greased. Both the thrust bearing and the ball nut
MUST be greased before using the lift. Please see owners' manual for details.
4. If you have a wireless remote it would be good idea to test it at this time.
There is no need to go all the way to the limit switches since those were tested
above. Also check the inside (amber) light and the mast light if you have one.
The lights come on when their buttons are pressed and go off with a second
press or after about 7 minutes of no light button activity.

Connect the 32" white battery interconnect wire to
the negative post of the first battery and the positive
