2. Incorrect voltage to motor
3. Bad wiring connections
4. "UP" switch burned out
5. Motor windings burned out
1. Replace fuse or reset/replace circuit breaker
2. Supply correct voltage to motor
3. Repair and insulate all connections
4. Replace switch
5. Replace motor
Lift Will
Not Raise
1. Air in oil or low oil level
2. Lowering Valve leaks
3. Motor runs backward
4. Pump damaged
5. Pump will not prime
6. Relief Valve leaks
7. Voltage to motor incorrect
8. Lift overloaded
1. Check fluid level, oil seal, bleed system
2. Clean valve or replace
3. Check for correct wiring
4. Repair of replace pump
5. Check fluid level and pick-up tube; replace
pump
6. Clean Relief Valve (replace if necessary)
7. Supply correct voltage to motor
8. Verify that loaded vehicle weight does not
exceed rated lift capacity
Lift Will
Not Lower
1. Mechanical locks are engaged
2. Obstruction under lift or in glide
block tracks
3. Faulty lowering valve
1. Raise unit slightly and disengage mechanical
locks
2. Carefully remove obstruction - clean glide block
tracks

Lift Will
Not Raise
A Vehicle
1. Low hydraulic fluid
2.Malfunction of pressure relief valve
3. Insufficient electrical voltage
4. Lift overload
5. Motor is running backwards
6. Air in hydraulic oil
7. Pump will not prime
8. Pump is damaged
9. Faulty lowering valve
1. Lower lift. Using ISO grade 32 hydraulic oil, fill
the powerpack reservoir to 1" below the top
2. Clean pressure relief valve. if problem
continues, call a service technician
3. Confirm a 208/230 volt power supply to the lift
4. Check that vehicle weight is evenly distributed
And does not exceed rated capacity.
5. Confirm proper motor rotation - rewire if
required
6. Check oil seal and bleed hydraulic system
7. Check hydraulic oil level and pick-up tube.
Replace pump if required
8. Repair or replace pump
9. Clean or replace valve
