Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Height lift will not move or is weak
- Confirm the cart is loaded within the appropriate weight range for the configuration.
- Check the battery charge and the power/charge connection.
- Try the powered control and, where applicable, the manual adjustment.
- If powered movement fails with a good battery and correct load, replace the actuator/controller.
- Verify smooth full-travel operation after repair.
Symptom: Monitor tilt too loose or too stiff
- Refer to the Monitor Adjustments section of the manual.
- Adjust the tilt hardware to spec.
- If the FIT Post Spring is not rated for the monitor weight, fit a compatible spring.
- Check the gas spring for oil leakage - replace if leaking.
- Confirm the monitor holds every tilt position.
