Important things to consider
for the installation location:
Power availability—15amp,
110V dedicated circuit no more
than 8 feet away
Mounting to a wall — especially
for lifts with travel greater than 52in
For exterior installations a secure
footing —typically a concrete pad
5ft x 5ft
Vertical Platform Lifts are designed to meet ASME Al8.1/ CSA 8613-0 / CSA 8355 Safety Standards
when properly equipped. While RAM VPLs meet national standards, it is imperative to check State/
Provincial and Local code requirements before installing to ensure compliance. All State/ Provincial
and Local compliance is the responsibility of the purchaser. Some states may require fees for site
preparation and permits.

Revision 1 — November 2004
WWW.TRUSTRAM.COM
1.1
The Trus-T-Lift elevator requires a solid, smooth, and level
mounting surface with an area at least 12" larger than the
lift itself (60" x 66" or 66" x 66" for an adjacent style lift).
You should also make sure that the toe plate will land on a
solid surface, this will require an addition 12" to 20" on the
entrance side of the lift.
The mounting surface must be solid enough to support the
lift and it's maximum rated load (a total of 880 lb.). A solid
wood or concrete deck would be an acceptable mounting
surface.
NOTE: The Trus-T-Lift ships with four 3/8" x 2 3/4"
concrete wedge anchors.
1.2 i
The travel wall is the wall below the upper entrance/exit
point of the elevator (Fig.1). This wall should be vertical,
smooth, and free of gaps or protrusions for the entire travel
distance of the elevator.
1.3
A 110 VAC 15A electrical receptacle must be provided
within 6 feet of the tower side -of the Trust-T-Lift.
i
** All lifts over 52" in travel should
be secured to the building for
additional support.

3.2 The Trus<T>Lift should be inspected and maintained
annually. (See Drive Nut Safety Bulletin) In addition to
inspecting the drive nuts, the drive screw should be
cleaned and re -lubricated at least once a year. In order to
access the screw drive you must remove the main front
panel (Fig. 2 & 3). The gear box is oil filled and should be
checked for leaks. Remove the top breather plug to check
that the gear box fluid level is at least to the center of the
motor -manual crank shaft.

In the event that the lifting nuts move down past the lower limit switch you may hear a loud snap indicating that the
shear pin has broken. Use the following procedure to put them back into place (Fig. 5):
• Remove the carriage from the guide frame (make sure to remove the toe plate roller strap).
• Remove the main front panel from the tower and the center panel from the guide frame.
• Lift the guide frame up about 12 inches and brace in place.
• Spin the lifting nuts into place as per Fig. 5, make sure that the flat sides of the lifting nuts fit between the
guide frame bracket angles.
• Lower the guide frame until it is supported by the upper lifting nut.
• Make sure that the lower travel limit switch is in the relaxed position and is below the lifting nuts. See Drive
Nut Safety Bulletin for Installation of the back up safety bracket.
• Replace the broken 10-32 x 1/2 Lg. Pan Head screw shear pin.
• Replace the covers and the carriage.

Trus<T> Lift
Drive Nut Safety Bulletin
The following Safety Bulletin is to inform all Trus<T>Lift installers & owners of a
critical safety check of the drive nuts that support the Trus<T>Lift platform. The
following safety check must be performed annually on every Trus<T>Lift.
The top bronze drive nut is the main support that raises and lowers the platform.
It is made from a low friction bronze bushing material that will wear over time.
The lower nut is a safety back-up nut made from the same material intended to
protect the platform from freefall should the main nut fail. It must not be used as
a main drive nut.
• Bronze drive nuts should be spaced
apart by 3/4".
• Both the drive nut and the back-up nut
should be positioned in the channel as
seen in the photo.
• The Lower drive nut includes a back up
safety bracket (red plate as pictured).
• The back up safety bracket is included
on all lifts manufactured after May
13/04 (serial # TS 13220 and up)
• The back up safety bracket can be
easily added to existing lifts
manufactured prior to May 13104.
• The purpose of the safety back up
plate is to indicate to the user when the
main lifting nut has failed.
• If the main nut fails the lower back-up
nut will move up 3/4 resulting in the
lower limit switch becoming activated
by the safety plate. The lift will only
operate in the up direction until two
new drive nuts have been installed.

TRUS<T>LIFT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM: "TRUS<T>LIFT DOES NOT RUN"
First inspect manual operating button on M3 relay:
- Button is in -4 Go to "Not Running Up or Not Running Down" Section
- Button is not in:
1. Check fuses & power supply with volt meter
• 0 ohms resistance across good fuses
• 110-120 Volts across N (Neutral) and terminal #1
2. If power and fuses are OK, using a 12 inch insulated jumper
wire, touch ends of wire to screws #1 & #2 of terminal strip.
Watch the M3 operating button.
3. If the button comes in, the UPPER FINAL LIMIT is either
activated or it is faulty. -� Inspect the UPPER FINAL LIMIT
**(If your lift has a CAR GATE, UPPER LANDING GATE, MID
LANDING GATE or LOWER LANDING GATE, also check that
all Gate and lock contacts are closed)**
4. If the button does not come in, using the insulated jumper wire,
touch ends to screws #2 & #3 of terminal strip.
5. If the button comes in the EMERGENCY STOP is
depressed or the CONTACT BLOCK of EMERGENCY STOP
may be sticking. Inspect the EMERGENCY STOP
6. If the button does not come in, using the insulated jumper wire,
touch ends to screws #1 & #3 of terminal strip.
7. If the, button comes in, both EMERGENCY STOP and
UPPER FINAL LIMIT**(and GATES) are activated.
8. If the button does not come in, using insulated jumper wire
touch screw #1 & M3A1. If the button comes in a control wire
has come loose, inspect wires at terminal #1, #2, #3, and
M3A1. If the button does not come in the coil for M3 has failed.
Rev. 1
PROBLEM: "THE LIFT WILL GO UP BUT NOT DOWN"
• QUESTION: Does motor make a sound like it's trying to start?
-� YES The BACKUP SAFETY NUT has come out and is
jamming on bottom plate.
SEE "RESETTING BACKUP NUT PROCEDURE" in
installation manual.
NO Using a 12" insulated jumper wire, touch ends of wire
on screw #4 & #5 on terminal strip - at same
time push the DOWN PUSHBUTTON.
If the lift runs then LOWER LIMIT SWITCH is
either activated by the BACKUP SAFETY NUT or
it has failed. —)Remove front cover & inspect
switch. **(If your lift has a SAFETY PAN also
check that all 5 safety pan switches are not
activated and that the safety pan plug is in and
locked)**
2. If lift does not run, then using a 12" insulated
jumper wire, touch ends of wire on screws # 5 &
#7 of the terminal strip.
If lift runs, then DOWN PUSHBUTTON or
KEY SWITCH are not operating properly —
remove & inspect
-4 If lift does not run, then touch ends of
insulated jumper wire to screws #4 & #7 of the
terminal strip.
1. If lift runs, then both the LOWER
LIMIT SWITCH, DOWN
PUSHBUTTON or KEY SWITCH
have failed -4 inspect
2. If lift does not run, either coil for M1
has failed or M2 NC Contact has
failed. Jump from #4 to M1A1, if lift
runs then replace the M2. If lift does
not run then replace the M1 and/or
check power supply again.
Rev. 1 2
PROBLEM: "LIFT WILL GO DOWN BUT NOT UP"
• Using a 12" insulated jumper wire, touch ends of wire to screws #4 & #6 of
terminal strip and press UP PUSHBUTTON.
1. If lift goes up, then the UPPER LIMIT SWITCH is either stuck in the
on position or has failed. -4 Remove front cover and inspect
2. If lift does not move, then using the jumper wire, touch ends to screws
#6 & #8 of the terminal strip.
• If lift goes up then UP PUSHBUTTON or KEY SWITCH is not
operating properly -4 Inspect
• If lift does not move, using the jumper wire touch ends to
screws #4 & #8 of terminal strip.
If lift goes up, then either UP PUSHBUTTON or KEY
SWITCH and UPPER LIMIT SWITCH have failed
—4 Inspect
—4 If lift doesn't go up, either coil for M2 has failed or M1 NC
contact has failed. Jump from #4 to M2A1, if lift runs
replace the M1. If lift still does not run, replace M2 and
check power supply again.
