Sefac Fault Reset Procedure

Posted on by

Caution, if your equipment shows a fault condition:

Fault resets must only be performed by a qualified responsible operator. Faults appear if there is something that is not operating properly. Resetting a fault without identifying the cause could be dangerous for the lift or for the users.

Procedure
The fault reset will be effective only if the four conditions below are met:
• The FAULT light is illuminated
• Only the two Up and Down push buttons of primary control box are valid.
• Both the UP and DOWN buttons must be activated within a very small time (0.4 seconds.)
• Both the UP and DOWN buttons must be activated for two seconds

Lubrication Requirements

The lifting screw in this lifting system must be properly lubricated with a quality #2 multi-purpose Lithium Complex grease. (Grainger Part Number is 1MUC1) Grease must be kept filled in grease cups and cleaned twice per year. If you have automatic grease system (greases cartridge) must be replaced every year.

Manually check lifting screw periodically to make sure it is well lubricated.

Bronze Nut

The Bronze Nut at 4mm (.16 inch) maximum clearance between the bronze lifting nut and the safety steel follower nut can be checked by means of a .16 feeler gauge or the no go no key on the side of safe lift. If clearance falls below 2mm (.08 inches), then the bronze nut and safety nut assembly must be replaced as a matched set.

Periodically check the gap beteen the bronze nut and steel safety nut 4 times per year.

Support Thrust Bearing

Twice per year, lubricate the support thrust bearing through the zerk fitting located at the top of the main lifting screw. Quality #2 multipurpose Lithium Complex grease (Grainger Part Number is 1MUC1) is acceptable.

All Other Bearings and reduced are greased for life and require no maintenance.
