AmeriGlide Rubex Stair Lift Owner's Manual

TROUBLE SHOOTING YOUR LIFT
These tips might save you a service call. Make sure
you remove power from the lift before attempting any
of the following items.
1. Lift not running, steel cable not tight.
A "slack cable" safety device stops the lift from running if any slack is
sensed in the cable. To reset the device, do the following: Remove the
round plastic hole cover in the side of the lift facing uphill. Insert the
handcrank tube onto the pulley and turn clockwise until the cable is fully
wound tightly on the drum and the lift begins coming up the track. A loud
click will occur indicating the safety device has been reset. The lift should
now run.
If the lift is not all the way at the bottom of the track, an alternative method
for resetting the slack cable device may be used. Half way between the
lift and top of the track, grasp the steel cable and lift it straight up in the air
(as if you were pulling on a bow string) until you are holding the weight of
the lift. Slowly lower the cable back down to the track, the lift will travel
down the track and the cable will now be tight.
2. Lift all the way at top of track— unit won't run.
The lift hit the final limit switch—meaning it has run too far up. Remove
the round plastic hole cover in the side of the lift facing uphill. Insert the
handcrank tube onto the pulley and turn counter-clockwise 4-5 turns until
the lift moves down the track about 1". Slide the final limit actuator (metal
tab sticking up off the track) down until it touches the lift. The lift should
now run. Lower the top switch cam about 1/2" to keep problem from
recurring.
