Electric Brake Release

Lift won't move at all and I need to release the brake. How is that accomplished?

Thanks!

Under the front cover, on the wire harness next to the controller, you will find a empty connector, it will be tagged Brake Bypass, you will also fine the same connector marked brake, this one will be connect to the controller, disconnect the brake wire and plug in the brake bypass connector. This will put battery voltage to the brake and allow you move the jack.

If it wasn't for human error and negligence, I would have nothing to do most days.
Stay safe

If you have good battery power there should be a plug you can connect the brake wire into. Upper right side of main wire harness.

If you have weak or no battery volts you should remove brake assembly 3 allen bolts on top of the drive motor

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
