excessive noise during operation.
5. Sheave Pins: Check for loose or missing sheave (pulley) pins.
6. Locking Latches and Slack Cable Devices: Watch locking latches and slack cable devices during
lift operation to ensure that latches work properly and line up with slots in latch plate located in
columns.
Monthly Inspection & Maintenance:
CABLES:
1. Clean wire rope cables with lift in both lowered and raised position by spraying with penetrating
oil and wiping the cable down.
2. Adjust cables using procedures on following pages.
3. Slack Cable Device: Inspect slack cable devices using procedure on page 5.
COLUMN ANCHOR BOLTS:
1. Check column anchor bolts for tightness. Re-torque anchors bolts to 65 ft./lbs. If anchors do
not tighten to the required installation torque, replace concrete under each column base per
installation instructions. Let concrete cure before installing lifts and anchors.
COLUMNS:
1. Look for corrosion, giving special attention to the area at the base of the column. Check severely
corroded areas by pecking with an awl or welder’s chipping hammer. If column is corroded
through at any point it must be replaced immediately. If not corroded, remove old paint and rust
scale, then coat with a high quality corrosion resistant paint.
A thorough inspection of the lifting system must be performed quarterly by qualified lift service
personnel; more frequently (monthly) under extreme service conditions such as outside
installations or high usage (10 or more cycles per day, etc.).
Quarterly Inspection & Maintenance:
CABLES:
1. Inspect cables in both lowered and raised position. The cables may also be viewed through
various inspection holes and openings in yokes and runways.
2. That cables have no broken wires visible. (Reference Daily Inspection & Maintenance.)
3. That cables are free of severe corrosion and pitting, reference Daily Inspection & Maintenance. A
light surface corrosion on exposed outer wires is normal. Penetrating oil should be applied during
monthly periodic inspection.
4. That there are no areas on the cable that have a greatly reduced diameter or “necking”, reference
Daily Inspection & Maintenance. When any cable is found with excessive necking, all cables must
be replaced immediately.
5. That cables do not have excessive stretch. It is normal for new cable to require adjustment during
