Error codes

Any malfunctions during operation will be identified by an error message on the display.
Once a serious error message has been displayed, the lift moves to the top end position and the device can no longer be operated. The lift can
be operated again.
Proceed as follows in such cases:
☞ Switch off device using the main switch
☞ Carry out corrective measures
☞ Restart device
