Lexion 560 slow rate of drop not working.

[Phil P]

Ok, so on my 560 the slow drop (first click on the switch) doesn’t function when the tablet is on.
Is it possible to change the drop speed somehow on the valve?
Without the table attached it does drop slowly in position 1 then speeds up in position 2 so pretty sure there’s no problem with the electrics and the solenoid is working but once the weight of the table is on the system it stops working in position 1.
Can’t seem to find anything in the book so thought I’d see if the collective has any ideas. Thanks

Ps, both speeds work fine for raising the table.

Not sure on the 560 but on the 580 there is a manual rotary rate of drop adjustment,,,, open the toolbox and stand on the open door,,,, you know the one that says do not use as a step and drop valve is just to your left hand with the red hyd master button just beside it. on the block there is three electrical solenoids the bottom one is at 90 degrees to other two and that’s drop valve also on that valve there is rate of drop valve an aluminium knurled knob turn to desired speed
However my table was slow to drop and turned out to be electric solenoid, worked perfect when cold but got hot then very slow to react although your symptoms seem different

Thanks, I’ll take a look and see what I can find, I’m pretty sure the systems are the same on all the 500 series.
