If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, perform this test in the environment
where the lifter is normally employed. Use the radio transmitter to activate each of the remote
functions.
18 Vary the location and distance of the transmitter in relation to the lifter, to ensure
that transmissions are effective in a variety of circumstances. This may require assistance from
someone near the lifter, to verify that functions are being performed as intended.
If the Remote Control System does not function correctly, review the following potential causes
of malfunction and correct them as directed:
• The battery for the radio transmitter may be worn out. Replace any expended battery (see
REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST).
• Metal or other electrically conductive surfaces may be causing interference between the radio
transmitter and radio receiver. Although the transmission signals often can bounce around
interfering surfaces, the signals do not travel through conductive walls. Reposition the
transmitter as necessary to transmit signals effectively.
If the preceding directions do not resolve a performance problem, repeat the test under different
conditions, to determine whether there is transmission interference in the work environment or
the Remote Control System is not functioning as intended. Correct any deficiency before
resuming normal use of the Remote Control System. If necessary, contact Wood’s Powr-Grip or
an authorized dealer for assistance.

DJUSTMENT
The lifter is equipped with a tilt damper, to slow the motion of the pad frame as it tilts from the
vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation. This feature minimizes unexpected or rapid
motions, for which the operator may not be prepared. The damper is set at the factory and
should not need adjustment. If readjustment is necessary, disconnect the damper from the pad
frame by pulling the pin from the clevis of the damper. Then pull the piston rod out to its fully
extended position. While continuing to pull on the rod, turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise in
small increments until the desired damping is achieved. The adjustment may require some trial
and error to achieve the correct damping.
CAUTION: Do not turn damper rod in completely.
Turning the rod all the way in causes the damper to become very stiff. It will therefore be
difficult to fully extend the damper in order to change the adjustment. Trying to use the damper
in this condition may damage the damper or other lifter components.
18
Use a test material with appropriate surface characteristics (see INTENDED USE: L OAD C HARACTERISTICS ) to test the apply and
release functions.
