  • Page 3: Introduction

    Movotec lift systems are assembled and subjected to a full function quality test before they leave our manufacturing facility. Suspa guarantees products are free from material and manufacturing defects, but cannot support the warranty for our products if they are altered, misused, misapplied, or abused in any way.

  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    VERIFY SYSTEM SELECTION. Before the installing or operating the system, ® please review the application to confirm that the correct Movotec Lift System has been selected. Pay particular attention to the load capacity and adjustment range ratings listed on the orange pump warning label.
  • Page 5 OBSERVE DUTY CYCLE. The term duty cycle refers to the amount of time that a ® motor or system is in motion versus the amount of time that it is resting. The Movotec Dual-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System is not designed to operate continuously without rest.
  • Page 6 MAINTENANCE SAFEGUARDS. Prior to performing any maintenance or service on the device, remove the load from all lift cylinders and unplug the motor controller from power source. The workstation or structure that the lift system is attached to should be stabilized to prevent personal injury or property damage during maintenance or service procedures.

  • Page 7: How It Works

    4.0 How it Works ® Dual-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift Systems are comprised of three major component Movotec subsystems; the motor drive, the pumps, and the lift cylinders. This section will explain how each subsystem works together to make the lift system extend and retract.

  • Page 8: Retraction Cycle

    The gear motors automatically shut off once the programmed pump upper limit is reached. ® 4.2 Retraction Cycle: (Refer to Movotec Dual-Drive Schematic on page 7) When the motor switch “DN” arrow button is depressed, the 24VDC gear motor shafts begin to rotate in a (CW) clockwise direction.
