Daily Inspection & Maintenance

1. Cleanliness:Cables,Columns,Runwaysandotherliftpartsshouldbekeptfreeofcorrosiveagents,sol vents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift component, immediately rinsethoroughlywithwaterandwipedownwithacleanrag.Spraywireropecablesasrequired withPenetratingOilandwipedown. Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and solvents will lead to reduced component service life, cable failure, etc., which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

2. Fasteners:Checkalltheattachingboltsandnutsfortightness.

3. Cables:Checkwireropecablesforwearordamage.Anycablewithbrokenwires,severecorrosion, excessive stretch, deformed strands, variations in diameter (necking), or any change from its normal appearance, must be replaced. If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set must be replaced immediately. Refer to figures below.

4. Sheaves:Checksheaves(pulleys)forwearordamage,i.e.wobble(tilt),cracks,looseonpin,orexces sive noise during operation.

5. SheavePins:Checkforlooseormissingsheave(pulley)pins.

6. LockingLatchesandSlackCableDevices:Watchlockinglatchesandslackcabledevicesduringlift operation to ensure that latches work properly and line up with slots in latch plate located in columns.

2.1 Inspect sheaves (pulleys) in yoke ends with lift in lowered position or resting on the locking latches.

a.Holdloweringhandledownandpulloncableincolumntocreateslackincables.

b. Check for excessive side to side wobble. Grasp rim of sheave and attempt to wobble (tilt) side to side. Ifsheaveswobble(tilt)morethan3/16”(4.8mm)sidetosideormoveupanddownonshaftmorethan 1/32”(0.8mm),thesheaveandpin(shaft)shouldbereplaced,referfiguresbelow.

c. Check sheaves and replace if cracks are found.

d. Check for ease of rotation. If sheaves do not turn freely, the sheave and sheave pin should be re moved, inspected, lubricated, and reinstalled or replaced.

2.2 Fully raise lift. Inspect sheaves (pulleys) in runway ends with lift in raised position. a. Visually inspect alignment of sheaves, see figure above. Misalignment of sheave(s) indicates exces sivewear;thesheave(s)andsheavepinshouldberemovedandinspected.Replaceasrequired.

3. HydraulicCylinder

Inspect the hydraulic cylinder mounting to the runway. Inspect cylinder and hydraulic hoses for leaks. Repair or replaceasrequired. 1 Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable pull bar.

4. TRACKSforRollingJackandOilDrainPan Inspect rolling jack/oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty tracks.

WARNING! Worn or damaged tracks must be repaired immediately.Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

5. LatchInspectionandAdjustment

Check locking latches for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or damaged parts andadjustasrequired.

1. Latches

Check latch operation on all four corners.

2. LatchandLatchBarLine-Up

Observe locking latches during lift operation to ensure that all latches line up with slots in latch bar located in all fourcolumns.Ifnot,relocateand/orre-shimcolumns.

1. Check slack cable devices for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or dam
