Contact the Electrician
As mentioned previously, there are certain installation tasks that require a certified Electrician.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician. If someone who is
not a certified Electrician attempts these tasks, they could damage the Lift or be
electrocuted, resulting in serious injury or even death.
The Electrician needs to:
• Attach a Power Cable with an appropriate plug. The Power Unit needs to connect to an
appropriate power source; it comes with a pigtail coming out of the Electrical Box, but without a
longer power cable or a plug attached. The Electrician needs to remove the pigtail and then
connect a power cable with a plug that is appropriate for your location (220 VAC plugs are different
in different parts of the world).
This power cable and plug is not provided with the Lift .
• Wire the Microswitch. This is generally done at the same time as the Electrician wires the
power source to the Power Unit, as the Microswitch wiring goes between the incoming power
source and the Electrical Box on the Power Unit. The Microswitch wiring is provided with the Lift.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. Ensures you can quickly and completely interrupt
electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or when
equipment is undergoing service or maintenance. You must put it within sight and easy reach of
the Lift operator. Refer to Install a Power Disconnect Switch for more information.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Ensures the equipment shuts down in the event of an
overload or an overheated motor. Refer to Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch for more
information.
The motor on the Power Unit is not thermally protected .
The Electrician is responsible for providing:
• an appropriate power cable and plug for connecting to the power source
(wiring to connect the Microswitch is included)
• a UL-listed Power Disconnect Switch
• a Thermal Disconnect Switch
⚠ DANGER Risk of explosion: This equipment has internal arcing or parts that may spark and
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. The Power Unit’s motor should not be
located in a recessed area or below floor level. Never expose the motor to rain or
other damp environments; damage to the motor caused by water is not covered by
the warranty.
Important electrical information:
• Improper electrical installation can damage the Power Unit motor and is not covered by warranty .
• Use a separate circuit breaker for each Power Unit.
• Protect each circuit with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker:
For a 208 to 230 VAC,
single phase
circuit, use a 25 amp fuse.
