SKYJACK SJIII 4632
This darn machine will go only up about 82" (ground to floor) and STOP, same place every time. I am electrician of 31yrs, and I am beginning to think I gotta go back to trade-school!!!! This is driving me crazy!

It drives fine, steers fine, DOWN is fine.......but all of a sudden it stops at 82" when given an UP command!

Machine is level.....totally level. Batteries are full. Lift is empty (no load). Oil reservoir full. Does this with platform and base controls, either or, same problem.

When I manually rotate the lobe (at the safety limit switches on the rear-side scissor X frame members) that actuates the limit switches, it permits me more distance for UP travel. I know I can't rotate these lobes to suit my interests as they've been set for a reason.

Does anyone know why a lift would go up and stop when one of those safety limit switches is actuated?

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
