Upright Assembly
Inspect the upright assembly: rails, carriage rollers, lift chains, and lift
and tilt cylinders. Look for obvious wear and maintenance problems,
damaged or missing parts. Check for any loose parts or fi ttings. Check
for leaks, any damaged or loose rollers, and rail wear (metal fl aking).
Inspect all lift line hydraulic connections for leaks
Lift Chain
Carefully check the lift chains for wear, rust, and corrosion, cracked
or broken links, stretching, etc. Check that the lift and carriage chains
are adjusted to have equal tension. Check that the lift chain anchor
fasteners and locking means are in place and tight.
WARNING
Uprights and lift chains require special attention to main-
tain them in safe operating condition.
• Uprights can drop suddenly. Look at the upright, but
keep hands out.
• Lift chain repairs and adjustments should be made by
trained service personnel.
