5.1 Maintenance Schedule
When the “POWER” switch is turned to the “ON” position and the “RUN” light flashes
four times, the lift has accumulated the required operating time for a scheduled
maintenance check by a qualified factory service representative.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE
Check the mechanical lock mechanism in each base.
Clean any debris from the locks.
Keep lock area clean and free of debris at all times.
Check the hydraulic cylinders, hoses and fittings for leaks.
Any leaks must be corrected immediately.
Check condition of hoses.
Worn or frayed hoses must be replaced immediately.
Check for any fluid loss from the hydraulic system.
The reservoir fluid level is automatically monitored by sensors, but it should be
checked manually as well.
When adding hydraulic fluid (Dexron ll or lll), the lift MUST be lowered
completely.
Check and lubricate rear ramp pivots with SAE 30 oil.
Check base channel anchor bolts for tightness.
Check the turning angle gauges and rear slip plates for smooth and easy
