A clicking noise and lack of movement despite a charged battery and green lights could indicate an overload condition. If the lift is overloaded, the LCD Display Panel will show an overload warning, and lifting will be deactivated immediately. The buzzer will beep three times, but lowering the lift using the DOWN button will still be allowed. Check the load to ensure it does not exceed the maximum safe working load of the lift.
