2.0 Introduction For more than 30 years, Movotec® lift systems have been used to make work-surfaces height adjustable. They have been used on industrial workbenches, small machine bases, massage tables, physical therapy tables, packaging equipment, and many other applications. Years of experience, engineering, and research have resulted in a product that is proven, time-tested and will deliver unparalleled performance.

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 Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System is not designed to operate continuously without rest. It is designed for intermittent use only and is rated for a 10% duty cycle.

DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not insert any objects into the system when powered. 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.
4.0 How it Works ® Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift Systems are comprised of three major component subsystems; the motor drive, the pump and the lift cylinders. This section will explain how each subsystem works together to make the lift system extend and retract.
The gear motor will automatically shut off once the programmed pump upper limit is reached. ® 4.2 Retraction Cycle: (Refer to Movotec Q-Drive Schematic on page 7) When the motor switch “DN” arrow button is depressed, the 24VDC gear motor shaft begins to rotate in a (CW) clockwise direction.

® Suspa Incorporated has examined all of the materials and processes utilized in the ® production of Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift Systems and determined that this product is in compliance with European Union RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC). CE Information All known, relevant EU guidelines were observed and applied in the design and manufacture of this product.
In addition, the motor controller should be placed so that it is ® in relatively close proximity to the gear motor. If this is not possible, Suspa Incorporated offers motor extension cables to make up the difference. These cables can be purchased on our website at https://shop.suspa.com/storefront.aspx.
These cylinder mounting brackets can be purchased on our website at https://shop.suspa.com/storefront.aspx. 7.1.5 Tubing and Cable Placement – Hydraulic tubing and power cables must be kept away from sharp edges and moving parts. Contact with moisture and heat must also be avoided.
• Mount the motorized pump assembly to the surface. Please note that mounting screws are not provided with system. To avoid deforming the plastic housing, it is recommended to use metallic washers when installing the motor bracket fasteners. • Check mounting screws to ensure that the unit is tightly secured. 7.3 Motor Controller Installation •...
• Install controller using mounting screws and check to ensure that the unit is secured. 7.4 Low Profile Switch Installation • Place the switch in the desired location on the underside of the work surface. • Align the switch body with front edge of the work-surface. Mark and prepare two holes in the locations provided in the switch enclosure.
7.5 Controller Cable Connections • The motor controller ports are labeled on the top side of the control box. • The switch plug is blue and corresponds with the round switch port shown above. The motor cable plugs are marked “M1” and “M2” on the cable, and correspond with the (M1) and (M2) motor ports shown above (white, rectangular plugs).
It is important to install both motor cables in to the control box, or the system will not operate! Ensure both NOTICE connections are secure and in the correct ports on the controller. • Connect the blue switch cable plug to the (HS) switch port.

• Thoroughly clean all workstation leg mounting surfaces to ensure the cylinder drilling templates will adhere. Apply the drilling templates parallel to the workstation leg surfaces, making sure that the templates are oriented correctly. Please note that the drilling templates are shown upside down due to the orientation of the workstation.

• Install each cylinder to the workstation frame using (4) - M5 screws of the ® appropriate length. Suspa Incorporated recommends a lift cylinder mounting screw thread engagement of 0.196-0.275in. (5-7mm). • Make sure there is enough flexible hydraulic tubing to reach each workstation leg without putting any tension on the tubing and while maintaining the minimum flexible tubing bend radius of 2in.
Take special care not to damage flexible tubing during this operation. • While it is recommended to coil up excess tubing when hydraulic tubing lengths ® are too long, the lines can be shortened. Contact Suspa Incorporated for detailed ®...

To prevent damage from occurring to the system, take NOTICE special care not to drop the workstation onto the lift cylinders • Place a level on the top of the work-surface. Unthread glide(s) from the lift cylinder(s) as needed to achieve a level work-surface. Once the workstation is level, tighten the lock nut on all glides to ensure the workstation will remain level during use.
Movotec systems can lift relatively large loads, lasting for many years, as long as they ® are installed and used correctly. The Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System is not intended for continuous cycling or for applications requiring precision height adjustment.
® ® Suspa Incorporated assembles and tests every Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System before it leaves our manufacturing facility to make sure that it functions correctly. If the unit is installed correctly, the system should be ready to operate immediately after installation.
