CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the
maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any
maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load. Refer to the CUSTOMER DAILY MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION RECORD for proper inspections to be completed by user daily.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all
components function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product
performance.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to
clean the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are
not self-lubricating. Inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning,
lubricate the equipment using a high grade penetrating lubricant.
Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
For light duty use, lubrication is needed once a month.
For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.
NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
See the Wire Rope Section for details on lubrication wire ropes and cables.
Rust Prevention:
Check hydraulic cylinder ram assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion. Without a load lift the
equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind all components. If signs of rust are visible clean as
needed.
Grease Fittings
Some models contain grease fittings that will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
Additional Lubrication:
1. Periodically check the hydraulic cylinders for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an
oil cloth. NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
2. When not in use, lower the lift to the fully retracted position. Failure to do so can cause rust and corrosion
to degrade the life of the hydraulic cylinders.
