PROBLEM POSSIBLE
CAUSE AND SOLUTION
Lift won’t lower.
• The solenoid coil may be incorrectly wired,
burned out, not rated for the voltage, or the line 
voltage may be excessively low. Check voltage 
near the coil. 
• The velocity fuse may be locked. Do not
attempt to remove the velocity fuse. The 
following steps should be followed: 
1. Remove the load from the lift. Inspect all 
fittings, hoses, and other hydraulic components 
for leads or damage. 
 
 2. If no leak or damage is noticed, attempt to 
pressurize the lifting cylinder by depressing the 
“UP” button on the controller for a few seconds. 
Immediately up releasing the “UP” button, 
depress the “DOWN” button. If the lift starts to 
lower, continue pressing the “DOWN” button 
until the lift is in the fully lowered position. 
 
3. If the lift does not lower after trying Step 2, 
wait approximately 10 – 15 minutes for the 
pressure in the hydraulic system to equalize. 
Then, depress the “DOWN” button until the lift is 
in the fully lowered position. 
 
4. Once the lift is in the fully lowered position, 
bleed the air from the hydraulic system by 
depressing the “DOWN” button. Hold the 
“DOWN” button for approximately 60 seconds. 
This step may need to be repeated several 
times to fully remove the air in the system by 
raising the lift to 50% of its travel and lowering. 
• Should the above steps not correct the problem,
contact Autoquip to obtain instruction for further 
action.
