PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
NOTE: Make sure vehicle is parked on level ground while performing the 
maintenance checks.
Quarterly or 1250 Cycles (whichever occurs fi rst)
Semi-annually or 2500 Cycles (whichever occurs fi rst)  
Check the level and condition of the hydraulic fl uid. 
Check that all WARNING and instruction decals are in place. Also, make sure decals 
are legible and decals are clean and undamaged.
Check that all bolts, nuts, and roll pins are in place. Make sure roll pins protrude evenly 
from both sides of hinge pin collar. Replace fasteners and roll pins if necessary. 
Visually check the platform hinge pins for excessive wear and broken welds.
Do the Quarterly or 1250 Cycles Checks on this checklist.
Check for rust and oily surfaces on Liftgate. If there is rust or oil on Liftgate or if the 
Lift-gate is dirty, clean it off. Touch up the paint or galvanized fi nish where bare metal is 
showing. To maintain the protection provided by the original paint system or galvanized 
fi nish, MAXON recommends using the aluminum primer touchup paint or cold galvanize 
spray for galvanized fi nish.
Check electrical wiring for chafi ng and make sure wiring connections are tight and free 
of corrosion. Use dielectric grease to protect electrical connections.
Visually check all hoses for chafi ng and fl uid leaks. Tighten loose fi ttings or replace 
parts as required.
Damaged cylinder seals and contaminated hydraulic fl uid can result from 
painting the polished portion of the cylinder rod. To prevent damage,
protect the exposed polished portion of the cylinder rod while painting. 
CAUTION
Pump EP chassis grease in each lube fi tting on the cylinders and arms until grease 
starts oozing from ends of the bearings. Refer to lubrication diagram on the next 
page. Wipe off excess grease with a clean lint-free cloth.
