GREASING THE BALL-SCREW
It is important to grease the ball-screw mechanism annually to prevent significant corrosion. The
ball-screw must be greased immediately prior to winter storage. To grease the ball-screw, lower the lift bed
completely. With the bed lowered, the grease fitting should be visible.It may be necessary to raise the lift
slightly to align the grease fitting in the hole. Use a high quality extreme pressure lithium grease and a
grease gun fitted with a f
lush style grease tip as shown in Fig. 66 below. A lithium grease that meets these
specifications is Shell Alvania EP2. Apply at least six pumps of grease per greasing. Cycle lift completely
up and back down to apply a coat of grease to the ball-screw.
GREASING THE THRUST BEARING
It is important to grease the thrust bearing mechanism annually to prevent significant corrosion.
See maintenance warning decal below and on your lift.
