GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Regular inspection and conscientious maintenance is the key to efficient economical opera-
tion of your scissor lift. It will help to assure that your equipment will perform satisfactorily
with a minimum of service and repair.
The actual operating environment of the machine governs the inspection schedule. Correct
lubrication is an essential part of the preventative maintenance to minimize wear on work-
ing parts and ensure against premature failure. By maintaining correct lubrication, the
possibility of mechanical failure and resulting downtime is reduced to a minimum.
NEVER PERFORM SERVICE ON THE MACHINE (WITH THE
PLATFORM ELEVATED) WITHOUT FIRST BLOCKING THE
BEAMS (SCISSORS) ASSEMBLY IN PLACE USING THE
MAINTENANCE LOCK!
♦ Block scissors assembly using maintenance lock if machine is in the elevated/ex-
tended position.
♦ Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from
contamination (including rain) at all times.
♦ Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
♦ Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic systems.
♦ Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants
may be as harmful as no lubrication.
♦ Watch for makeshift “fixes” which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more
costly repair.
