CLEANING THE MASTS
LiftSmart requires that this procedure be performed
every 200 hours or quarterly, whichever comes
first.
Perform the following steps to clean the masts:
❑ Raise the material lift to its maximum height.
❑ Visually inspect the inner and outer roller wheel
channels of each mast for foreign material or
debris.
❑ As needed, clean the channels of each mast
using a mild cleansing agent.
When cleaning the masts, NEVER:
❑ Lubricate the masts.
❑ Apply an additional side load or horizontal force
to a material lift that is loaded and/or raised.
❑ Place ladders or scaffold against the material
lift.

❑ Inspect the reamed bushings on the shaft for
excessive wear.
▪ Replace the reamed bushing if the wall
thickness is less than 1/8 inch (3.1 mm).
❑ Inspect the winch assembly for loose,
damaged, or missing fasteners.
▪ Tighten or replace fasteners as needed.
▪ Tighten the 3/8-16 lock nut that attaches
the reel assembly to 20 ft-lb (27 N*m).
▪ Do not over tighten fasteners.
LUBRICATING THE WINCH
