TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE - EHLTG 

Before performing any task, always lower the platform fully to the floor and disconnect the power supply. 
Consult the factory for problems at time of installation, or for any problems not addressed below. * Check 
the DC notes page for troubleshooting other problems specific to batteries and chargers.  

Problem 

Power unit doesn’t run when “UP” 

button is pressed.  

Motor runs, platform doesn’t move. 

Power unit not noisy. 
Motor hums or pump squeals, but the 

platform does not move, or the 
platform moves only slowly.  

Platform raises, then drifts down. 
Spongy or jerky platform movement. 

Platform won’t lower  

Platform lowers too slowly.  

Possible Cause(s): 

Transformer fuse is blown. 
No supply voltage. 

Upper-travel limit switch is engaged 

or bad. 

Bad control transformer. 
Bad motor relay coil. 
Motor rotation is wrong (AC-powered 

units only). 

Pump is failing to build pressure. 
See last paragraph, above. Excess 
voltage drop to motor, due to power 
wire size too small, wire run too long, 
or incoming voltage too low. 
Motor is “single-phasing”. 

Pressure relief opening at full 

pressure. 

Contamination holding open the 

lowering valve or the check valve. 

See last paragraph, above. 
Excessive air in the hydraulic 
cylinders. 
Toe guard is actuated. 

Toe guard switch, or wire, broken. 

Solenoid coil is bad. 

Physical blockage of the structure. 

Solenoid valve, flow control, or suction 

hose screen plugged. 

Pinched hose. 

Velocity fuse locking (platform  only 
slowly creeps down). Flow control 
spool sticking. 

See last paragraph, above.  

Action: 

Test with meter; replace if bad. 
Test with meter. Check fuses, 

breakers, and overloads to 
determine the cause. 

Inspect, test switch. Replace if bad. 

Check for 24 VAC; replace if bad. 
Test with meter; replace if bad. Verify 
the motor runs CW, opposite the shaft 
end. 
Consult factory. 
Same as above. 
Check power installation for adequacy. 

Check incoming voltage 

while motor 

is running.  Correct problem found. 

Determine cause of loss of voltage on 

one phase; correct. 

Check for structural damage or binding 

of the scissor legs, etc. Check for 
platform overload condition. 

Remove and inspect. Clean per 

instructions in “Power Unit 
Operation.” 

Same as above. 
Bleed air per procedure described in 
“Power Unit Operation”. Check that 
the toe guard bar is 

hanging freely.  Adjust if necessary. 

Inspect visually, check with multimeter. 
Repair as needed. 
Check with multimeter on diode-check 

function.  (Reading for ohms will 
not provide an accurate test of the 
coil.) Inspect for foreign material or 
objects that might block the leg set 
or its Remove and inspect.  Clean 
per instructions in “Power Unit 
Operation.” 

Check pressure, supply, and return 

hoses for kinks. 

Same as for jerky platform movement. 

Remove plug from FC port; push 
on flow spool to ensure it is fully 
pressed into the cavity.  Pull and 
clean the spool if necessary. Same 
as above.
