Behavior of Lift Control System 3.2.1 Emergency-Down (previously "Trial Run") During the emergency-down watch both carriages and the vehicle contiuously. If the vehicle is in danger of getting off balance, stop the lift immediately. During the emergency-down the pulse generators will not be monitored. This means the following functions are disabled: •...
Yellow LED not flashing • If the yellow LED is not flashing, push and hold the LOWER and RAISE buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. Then proceed as explained under section "Yellow LED flashing". 3.2.3 Load Nut Failure Load nut failure is stored in the control system by setting the "load nut failure flag" and is indicated by the red LED lighting up and the yellow LED flashing at the same time.

1 Raise or lower the lift until the inspection windows in the carriages line up with the windows in the screw drive covers. 2 Check the clearance between load nut (1) and safety nut (2). With an undamaged load nut, the clearance is 21…24 mm. With a broken load nut, the clearance and the red paint are no longer detectable.
3.2.4 Floor Contact of Support Arms Floor contact of support arms is detected by the lift control if the upper pulse generators transmit too few or no pulses at a lifting height of less than 30 mm. This status is detected and stored by the lift control and indicated by the yellow LED.
3.2.7 Level Difference between Carriages Level differences between the carriages (≥ 26 mm) are corrected automatically by the lift control. However, if the level difference exceeds 10 cm due to an error, the lift stops, the yellow LED flashes and the control is disabled. Lower the lift either manually or by performing an emergency-down.

Upper and Lower Proximity Switches 3.3.1 Adjusting the Upper Proximity Switches (Pulse Generators) The pulse generators are fastened to a holder under the motor plate by means of lock nuts. 1 Open the lock nuts (1.1). 2 Adjust the clearance between the pulse generators (1) and the teeth of the pulse generator wheel (2) to 1…1.2 mm.
3.3.2 Adjusting the Lower Proximity Switches (Limit Switches) • The clearance between the upper edge of the limit switch and the upper edge of the mounting bracket must be set to 10 mm. Motor Plate To install the motor plate on the column use 4 fastening bows M8-8.8 and 8 hex nuts M8-8 DIN EN ISO 10511.
Support Bearings for Lifting Screw 3.5.1 Upper Bearing Sensitive components! Risk of damage! Use caution when removing the flange bearing (item 8).

Manual Lowering Authorized personnel only! Do not restart the lift before the error has been remedied. In case of motor defect or power failure the carriages can be lowered manually. The lift may only be lowered, not raised. 1 Open fastening screws (A) and (B) and remove motor covers from both columns.
Aligning the Pulleys Make sure the pulleys of motor and lifting screw are in alignment. Misalignment exceeding ± 0.5 mm is not permissible. The motor pulley (A) is fastened using a setscrew (B). • Open the setscrew and adjust the motor pulley until it aligns with the lifting screw pulley.
3.9.1 Checking the Load Nut for Wear Once a year check the load nuts for wear. Shut down and lock the lift until the worn-out load nut has been replaced. 1 Raise or lower the lift until the inspection windows in the carriages line up with the windows in the screw drive covers.
After servicing the carriage (e.g. load nut replacement) proceed as follows: 1 Raise the lift to upper end position. 2 Briefly unscrew the motor plate, centre it, fasten it again. 3 Lower the lift to bottom position. 4 Briefly unscrew the lower support bearing, fasten it again. 5 Recheck the clearance between check screw and safety nut.
3.9.3 Greasing the Slide Tracks The slide tracks inside the columns should be greased every six months or more frequently if required. 1 Fully lower the lift. 2 Open fastening screws (A) and (B) and remove motor covers from both columns. 3 Open upper fastening screws (C) of screw drive cover and remove cover.
3.9.4 Greasing the Arm Extensions 1 Every six months check the support arm extensions for smooth operation. 2 Grease as required. 3.9.5 Greasing the Disk Adapter Threads 1 Every six months check the threads of the disk adapters for smooth operation. 2 Grease as required.
Page 57
Arm Restraints 1 Periodically check the restraint pin (A) for smooth and secure engagement. 2 If required, slightly grease the contact points of the gear segments (B). Ribbed V-Belts Once a year check the ribbed V-belts for wear, soiling and correct tension. Worn-out belts have to be replaced.
Page 58
Adjusting the Belt Tension 1 Open fastening screws (A) and (B) and remove motor covers from both columns. Do not remove the mounting brackets (C) of the motor covers! 2 Slightly open the fastening screws (D) of the motor. 3 Slightly open the fastening screw (E) of the tensioning device. 4 Tension the belt using the tensioning screw and nut (F).
