2.0 Introduction
For more than 30 years, Movotec® lift systems have been used to make work-surfaces
height adjustable. They have been used on industrial workbenches, small machine bases,
massage tables, physical therapy tables, packaging equipment, and many other
applications.
Years of experience, engineering, and research have resulted in a product that is proven,
time-tested and will deliver unparalleled performance.
Thank you for purchasing the Movotec® Crank Driven “Bolt-On” Lift System.
3.0 Safety Instructions
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE THIS PRODUCT. FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL TIMES.
This manual contains safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and user service
instructions for the Movotec
®
Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System. Suspa
®
Incorporated is
not responsible for any alteration, misuse, misapplication, or abuse of this product
resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS
MANUAL COULD RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
If you have any questions about the use of this product, the safety practices outlined in
this manual or would like a digital copy of this manual, please contact us (see Section 15
for contact information).
VERIFY SYSTEM SELECTION. Before the installing or operating the system,
please review the application to confirm that the correct Movotec
®
Lift System has been
selected. Pay particular attention to the load capacity and adjustment range ratings listed
on the blue product label.
HANDLE COMPONENTS WITH CARE. Do not handle system by the motor cables,
power cords or hydraulic tubing. Keep motor cables, power cords, and hydraulic tubing
far from heat, sharp edges and moisture. If motor cables, power cords, or hydraulic
tubing are damaged, discontinue use and have the suspect component replaced
immediately. Do not ever attempt to repair a damaged motor cable, power cord or
hydraulic tubing line.

VISUALLY INSPECT COMPONENTS. Before installing and operating the system,
inspect all components for any damage that may have occurred during shipping and
installation. Do not attempt to disassemble system or system components for any reason.
If a defective component is found, contact Suspa
®
Incorporated for repair or replacement.
USE OF TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL System installation, operation,
and repair should only be done by persons having sufficient knowledge of the lift system
and the contents of this manual. In addition, they must have an understanding of all
warnings and precautionary measures noted in these safety instructions. Furthermore,
these individuals must be trained, instructed and qualified to switch electrical circuits and
equipment on and off in accordance with applicable technical safety regulations.
AVOID HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the system outside. Do not
expose the system to damp or wet conditions. Avoid any chemical or corrosive
environments. Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable solvents,
propellants and/or explosive materials (i.e. gas, vapor, dust, etc.) Avoid temperatures
outside of the system rated operating temperature range 41°to 113°F (5° to 45°C). Do
not subject lift system components to vibration and/or impact load conditions.
INSTALLATION SAFEGUARDS. Do not use the system for any purpose other than
its intended function. Before operating system, make sure that the workstation has a
minimum clearance of 2 in. (51mm) from any other object or structure to prevent
pinching or crushing hazards. Do not allow wall, cabinet, electrical lines, hydraulic or
pneumatic lines, or any other fixed structures to obstruct the movement of the
workstation during operation.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. It is not recommended that children operate this
electrically powered lift device. If this device is used by or near children, close
supervision is absolutely necessary.
OBSERVE DUTY CYCLE. The term duty cycle refers to the amount of time that a
motor or system is in motion versus the amount of time that it is resting. The Movotec
®
Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System is not designed to operate continuously without rest. It is
designed for intermittent use only and is rated for a 10% duty cycle. This means that if
the lift system is in motion for 1 minute, it must be at rest for at least 9 minutes before the
next operation. It is also important to note that the maximum system on-time is 1 minute.
To avoid damaging the system, the duty cycle must not be exceeded. Motor surfaces
can become warm after extended operation that exceeds the duty cycle. Provide adequate
ventilation to allow heat dissipation from within and around lift system components.
USE OF ACCESSORIES. Use caution when routing extension cords. Do not allow
cords to become pinched or stretched. Avoid positioning cords where they can become a
trip hazard. Use only spare parts and accessories authorized or supplied by Suspa
®
Incorporated. Do not replace or replenish lift system hydraulic fluid unless the fluid is
supplied by Suspa
®
Incorporated .

DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not
insert any objects into the system when powered.
MAINTENANCE SAFEGUARDS. Prior to performing any maintenance or service on
the device, remove the load from all lift cylinders and unplug the motor controller from
power source. The workstation or structure that the lift system is attached to should be
stabilized to prevent personal injury or property damage during maintenance or service
procedures.
RETRACT SYSTEM BEFORE MOVING. To reduce the risk of property damage and
personal injury, always retract the lift system fully before moving the equipment.
UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING. Retract the lift system, unplug the motor controller
from power source and allow the system to cool before cleaning components. Clean
system components with a mild soap and water-damped cloth. Do not use corrosive
cleaning agents or high pressure wash systems to clean lift system components. Make
sure system is clean and dry before plugging into power source and operating the system.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

4.0 How it Works
Movotec
®
Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift Systems are comprised of three major component
subsystems; the motor drive, the pump and the lift cylinders. This section will explain
how each subsystem works together to make the lift system extend and retract.
Movotec
®
Q-Drive Schematic
4.1 Extension Cycle
The motor drive consists of a motor controller, a 24 VDC gear motor, and motor switch.
The motor controller converts AC line voltage to DC voltage to operate the 24 VDC gear
motor. It also controls motor speed and is programmed to operate within specific pump
upper and lower limits. The motor switch is used to activate the 24VDC gear motor for
lift system extension and retraction.
When the motor switch “UP” arrow button is depressed, the 24 VDC gear motor shaft
begins to rotate in a (CCW) counter-clockwise direction. Since the gear motor drive
shaft is mechanically coupled to the pump leadscrew shaft, the leadscrew shaft rotates in
the same (CCW) direction. As the gear motor continues to rotate in a (CCW) direction,
the threaded pusherblock moves up the leadscrew in the direction of arrow “A”. This
action drives fluid from the pressure elements, through the hydraulic tubing and into the

05/26/16
670- 00018B
6
lift cylinders causing them to extend. The gear motor will automatically shut off once the
programmed pump upper limit is reached.
4.2 Retraction Cycle: (Refer to Movotec
®
Q-Drive Schematic on page 7)
When the motor switch “DN” arrow button is depressed, the 24VDC gear motor shaft
begins to rotate in a (CW) clockwise direction. Since the gear motor shaft is
mechanically coupled to the pump leadscrew shaft, the leadscrew shaft rotates in the
same (CW) direction. As the gear motor continues to rotate in a (CW) direction, the
threaded pusherblock moves down the leadscrew in the direction of arrow “B”. As long
as there is sufficient load on the lift cylinder piston rods, the fluid in the lift cylinders
flows back through the hydraulic tubing and into the pressure elements. The gear motor
will automatically shut off once the programmed pump lower limit is reached.
5.0 Unpacking Instructions
The system comes packaged in a cardboard carton. To unpack the system:
•Check the carton label to confirm that you have received the correct system; open
the carton and remove packaging material.
•Carefully remove the system from the carton. Verify all components are present
(reference chart below) and that the correct lift system was received.
Do not handle the lift cylinders and motorized pump by the hydraulic tubing. Incorrect
handling of hydraulic tubing could weaken the tubing material and system tubing
connections.
DAMAGE TO TUBING OR TUBING CONNECTIONS
COULD CAUSE FLUID LOSS AND UNCONTROLLED
DESCENT OF THE WORK-SURFACE.
