When troubleshooting the lift it is important to identify which type of Lift Screw Assembly is installed in
the system.
If you do not have a Type 3 Lift Screw Assembly (June 2011 and later), you will have to consult your ser-
vice records to see if a Type 1 or Type 2 Lift Screw Assembly has been changed for a later type, and if
the service records are not clear you will need to remove the Gantry column covers to observe the
bracket at top of the Lift Screw Assembly and determine the Lift Screw Assembly Type installed accord-
ing to Table 1.
