7 Maintenance and inspection
• Daily:
- the wire cable and the cable guidance (pulleys, pulley displacements)
- correct winding of the wire rope on the rope drum
- the crane fork
- the rail profiles
- the rail guide (plastic rolls)
- the chassis with the front components
- the manual winch or the hydraulic winch
- Hydr. functional components (e.g. hoses, screw fittings, motor, brakes, and
similar)
- the castors and wheels
- the fixing elements (e.g. screws, nuts and bolts)
- the outriggers with the supporting spindles
need to be checked.
• In case of damage or signs of damage immediately discontinue operation. Prior to
commissioning the material lift, defective or damaged components must be replaced.
(see also point 9 “Replacement parts”).
• Check the entire unit for deformation or damage, corrosion or oxidation and tears in
welding seams or components.
• Protect the lift from contamination, rain and other weather effects. The mast elements
made of aluminium should be protected from dirt and rubbish.
• Treat the interior side of the mast with silicone spray.
• Check plastic rolls and pulleys for wear and tear or damage.
• The crank handle winch has already been greased at the factory. The thread at the crank
handle must, however, be greased at all times. It is recommended to regularly oil the
bearing bushes of the drive shafts and the drum hubs. For this purpose, observe the
enclosed original operating instructions of the manufacturer of the manual winch.
CAUTION!
Do not oil or grease the brake mechanism!
• Ensure that the lift is inspected annually by a qualified person Parts that are subject to
wear and tear and safety components must be replaced as required. Only original parts
must be used (Section 39-40-50 VBG 14 UVV)
