  • Safety latch not engaging:

    Typical components and controls

    • Motor/pump unit (hydraulic unit)
    • Two vertical columns with carriage and lock ladder
    • Telescopic lift arms and adapters (short/long)
    • Lifting pads and swivel adapters
    • Safety lock release mechanism (manual or electric)
    • Power/control switchbox (up/down/stop)
    • Hydraulic hoses and fittings
    • Anchor bolts or base-plate mounting points

    Wear Check: The manual provides a specific measurement (the "wear gap"). If the distance between the main nut and the safety nut decreases beyond a certain millimeter threshold, the lift must be decommissioned until the nuts are replaced. This is a fail-safe to prevent the carriage from falling. 4. Routine Maintenance Schedule

    1. Getting Started (Power & Connections) The manual begins with a stern warning: use the correct linear power supply (18V AC, not DC). Many DS2 units were damaged by users grabbing a standard 18V DC pedal supply. It details the pinout for the 4-pin XLR power connector, a non-standard choice that often requires a custom cable today.
