6.5 Motor Overload Relay (Three-phase models only)
DANGER: Electric Shock Hazard! High voltage is
present inside the jack even when motor is off . Be sure
that jack power cord is disconnected from the electrical
outlet (or other electrical power source) before removing or
installing fuses or before opening the electrical enclosure door.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in death or serious
personal injury.
Jack models equipped with a three-phase electrical system contain
a resettable motor overload relay. The relay reset button is located
inside the jack electrical enclosure. See Figure 10, Item C.
If the motor overload relay trips, the jack motor will not start
when the pendant buttons are depressed. The trip indicator fl ag
(located on the front of the relay) will also be visible.
To reset the motor overload relay, depress and release the reset
button and verify that the trip indicator fl ag disappears. This
indicates that the relay has been reset.
If the motor overload relay will not reset, wait a few minutes for
the relay to cool and then try resetting it again.
If the motor overload relay continues to trip during normal
operation, have the jack electrical system inspected and repaired
by an Enerpac authorized service center.
