MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. The channel sections where the carriage bearings ride against should be cleaned and lubricated twice a
year (once every 6 months) using a light lubricant (WD-40). The channel sections where the slide
blocks ride against should be cleaned and lubricated twice a year (once every 6 months) using a light
lubricant (WD-40).
2. The main carriage bearings are factory lubricated and do not require any additional periodic
lubrication. However, if additional lubrication is desired on these under the customer’s own inspection
and maintenance program, it is recommended to use CAM2 – Multipurpose #2 Grease (Part No.
86035) or equivalent. Use approximately 2 oz. per bearing.
3. Weekly, or whenever the hoist is used after any extended down time, the communication cables
should be checked to make sure that there are no nicks or cuts which may reduce or compromise the
insulation. Use a de-greasing cleaner to clean all cables so they maintain their visibility (Ensure cables
are disconnected when cleaning them and do not spray cleaner on end connections). Also, check
visually the hydraulic line connections for leaks and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. Check your hydraulic fluid annually. Every five years the hydraulic fluid should be changed using new
Dexron III ATF. Drain the reservoir tank only when the carriage is in the lowered position. Fill with
3.25 US gallons per reservoir.
5. Every three months check snap rings on wheels and carriage lock. Apply a light coating of lubricant
to pins as needed (WD-40).
6. In case of electrical break down have qualified service personnel service the lift using only factory
direct replacement parts.
7. Call your Distributor or Factory direct if you have any questions with regards to operating the lift or
need of replacement parts.
