1
To troubleshoot elevation issues for the EL0P2, and EL0P2.10
follow steps below.
Section 2,3. `´´Checking elevation Motor´´
(Go to this section if the elevation is not moving at all, or
moving in 1 direction, or moving just a little).
Section 4 ´´6 or 7 Flashing lights´´
(Go to this section if the Charged/Charging LED is giving 6 or 7
flashing lights, then a pause and then 6 flashing lights).
Section 5,6 ´´Removing Red Case´´
(Go to this section if the elevation moves freely and there is no
resistance on the motor itself).

Checking Elevation Motor
1. Unscrew control panel and pull it out
and to the side. Be careful not to
disconnect any additional wires.
2. Switch the elevation and feed
connections on the green electronic
board on the back of the control panel.
3. Turn on machine and press either
direction of the elevation button. If the
feed wheel does not turn this control
panel is failing, a new control panel
(EL52.P2, EL52.P2.10) is needed.
If the elevation is still not moving, please move onto the next
step below.

Checking The Elevation Switch
1. With the control panel still removed, find the 6
wires coming from the Elevation Switch that plug
into the circuit board.
2. Remove 1 wire at a time, and reconnect it in the
same location on the circuit board. Do this until
all 6 wires have been unplugged and the
reconnected.
3. For the Elite Pickle 2.10 machines (units with the
10 function remote), you will disconnect the 3
wires connected to the elevation switch itself, and
then re-attach those 3 wires in the same order
you disconnected them.
4. Try turning on the machine and adjusting the
elevation, if it moves up and down, then then the
problem was a bad wire connection. If not move
onto the next section.

(Pickle2.10).

6 or 7 Flashing Lights on the Charged Charging LED
6 or 7 Flashing lights on the Charged/ Charging LED are an
indication of a mechanical issue with the elevation, and can
typically indicate build up around and with-in the motor, or can
also be a problem with the circuit board itself, please follow the
directions below to check.

1. With the control panel unscrewed, disconnect the
Elevation cable from the Elevation Tab on the circuit
board.
2. Turn on the machine. If the panel stops giving 6 or 7
flashing lights on the Charged Charging LED then follow
the next steps. If the panel Charged/ Charging LED is
still flashing 6 or 7 times with the elevation motor wire
disconnected, then the control panel is faulty and will
need to be replaced.
3. Turn OFF the machine, and reconnect the Elevation
Wire to the Elevation Tab on the circuit board.
4. Using the Top and Bottom Server Wheels (inside the
front opening of the machine), grab the top wheel with
one hand, and the bottom wheel with another. To raise
the elevation manually, push away from you on the Top
wheel, while pulling towards you on the Bottom wheel
(You should feel resistance and hear the motor gears
moving as you do this, be careful not to push with too
much strength, as this might cause the Elevation motor
to break). To lower the elevation, Pull the Top wheel
towards you as you push the Bottom wheel away from
you.
5. Repeat step 4- 3 to 6 times, this should help move
some of the debris out of the way. If you hear a snap
and the elevation moves easily (with no resistance) then
a new elevation motor is needed.
6. Turn on the machine and try adjusting the elevation
using the button.
If you go to manually adjust the elevation, and find that here is
no resistance and you can move it down by hand, and when
you let go gravity causes the elevation to raise by itself, this
can indicate a broken motor, or the elevation link has become
dis-attached from the Yoke Assembly. Please continue onto
the next section.

Removing the Red Case
*(Make sure the machine is turned off).
1. remove the case by unscrewing the (6)
screws along the bottom of the red case.
Be careful not to disconnect any additional
wires.
2. There are 2 large screws in the front bottom section
of the Red Case, and 2 large screws on the case
side. There are 2 smaller screws located
underneath the control panel that secure the red
case back.

Removing The Yoke Assembly
1. Take off your server wheels by unscrewing the set screw,
and sliding the wheels off of the server motor shafts.
2. With the front end of the machine facing you (the pointer
closest to you, and the handle furthest from you), remove
both of the server wheels.
3. Passing through the center of the Yoke and the davit
assembly is the Yoke Bolt. (This bolt has a nut holding it on
the end of the Davit Right). Using a Crescent Wrench and a
9/16” Wrench, unscrew and remove the Yoke Bolt (Hold onto
the Bolt side between the Server Wheels with the Crescent
Wrench, and use the 9/16´´ Wrench to hold onto the nut on
the opposite end of the bolt), and remove the Small and
Larger Spacer, and the 3 to 5 washers. *( Carefully set these
in separate safe location for later use. )*

Checking the Link on the Elevation Motor
1. Check to see if you can move the link off away from the
motor shaft (as shown on the 2 images below, the orange
arrow indicates the direction it would come off, perpendicular
to the link and elevation motor.). If you can remove the link at
the elevation motor shaft, then the spring pin is broken, and
you will need to order a new spring pin.

2. For the elite Pickle 2 machines, check to make sure the
Should Bolt attaching link arm 1 and link arm 2 is present. If
both arms are away from each other, you will need to re-
attach them with a shoulder bolt. (if your shoulder bolt is
missing you will need a new one, item E363).

If the Elevation link is firmly attached to the elevation motor
shaft, and the link is not missing the should bolt (for elite
Pickle 2 machines) then continue on to the next section.

Putting the Yoke Back On to The Davit.
1. Lift up the Yoke Assembly and slide onto the Davit Assembly so
that the Yoke Wheel portion of the yoke is on the right of the Davit
Center, and the Motor Support Bracket is in-between the Davit Right
and the Davit Center.
2. Slide the long bolt threw the hole in the yoke, which passes from
the right of the yoke, all the way to the left. (Please follow the
diagram below which shows where the yoke spacer long, and short,
and washers belong.)
Using a Washer and the yoke bolt nut, tighten until the yoke is
secure. (* Do NOT over tighten the yoke or your elevation will not
move.)
3. Use the nut and bolt you set aside from earlier to attach the
elevation link to either location shown below.

assembly.
2. Screw in all 6 case screws.
