Showing items 1 - 6 of 6 results.
If you are able to Lift and lower, that means the lift passes its self check. It could be a few things, but without me being there it is hard to say.
My recommendation is to test the drive circuit to see if the controller is even sending voltage to the motors or where there is an issue.

Are you charging it using the Edison plug on the service panel? If so there should be a steady yellow light with a blinking green light to show it is charging. This can charge the lift using general outlets. If it is not showing any lights it is not charging. There needs to be atleast 22v over all 4 batteries for charging to start.

You would have to open the bottom cover to expose the batteries and find a postive and negative cable that are over 2 batteries creating 12v (if your charger is 12v). If the lift is completely dead to where you need to jump it to even get the hour meter to show, it sounds like you have bigger problems and might want to charge the lift before it causes major damage to the batteries.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
