Preventive Maintenance:
Maintenance is necessary to
ensure safe and trouble free lift
operation. General preventive
lift maintenance consisting of
careful inspections of the lift sys-
tem and cleaning the lift should
be a part of the transit agency
daily service program. Simple
inspections can detect potential
problems.
Keeping the lift platform and
housing area clean is one of
the most effective preventive
maintenance practices to exer-
cise. Dirt, mud, snow, ice and
other debris entering the hous-
ing could result in potential lift
problems.
Operation Notes and Details
Regular preventive maintenance
will reduce potential lift operation
downtime and increase the ser-
vice life of the lift, as well as pos-
sibly detecting potential hazards.
Exposure to harsh weather ele-
ments, environmental conditions,
or heavy usage may require
more frequent maintenance and
lubrication procedures.
Preventive maintenance visual
inspections do not take the place
of the procedures specified in
the Maintenance and Lubrica-
tion Schedule provided on pages
44-52 of this manual. Refer to
the Maintenance and Lubrication
section for further details.
Maintenance and
lubrication procedures
must be performed
by authorized service
personnel as specified
in this manual. Failure
to do so may result in
serious bodily injury
and/or property
damage.
