MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TIPS &
For each greasing activity refer to chapter "GREASING OPERATION"
Periodically check that the chains that raise and lower the columns are in good condition via inspection holes
"W" in the gear box after removing caps "X".
Periodically check that the movement of the columns are smooth and regular by fully raising and lowering the
stand.
Any anomalies, sudden movements of the columns (fig. 17) must be reported to the manufacturer or authorised
service centre.
After long periods of storage, we recommend a thorough cleaning and inspection of the stand.
Regularly remove dirt and debris from the locking screws and sliding parts.
Do not use metallic or sharp tools during cleaning operations.
Regularly check the state of the stand and of the crankcases by moving the columns without load. (fig. 18)
OPERATING IN A SANDY LOCATION (BEACHES, DESERT, ETC.)
Remove lubricating grease from joints, threads and bearings to prevent sand mixing with the grease
adversely affecting the operation of the stand.
Note: After the stand is used in sandy conditions ensure that the stand is cleaned and that the lubricating
grease is restored.
MUDDY AND SALTY LOCATIONS
Before the stand is used in a muddy or salty environment, all joints, threads, moving parts of the
stand should be greased. After working in this environment, the stand must be thoroughly cleaned.
OPERATING IN COLD AND DAMP LOCATIONS
Make sure all joints threads and bearings are greased. If the stand is to be operated for a long period
at below freezing temperatures, take care to ensure the safety lever "S" (fig. 13) is fully operative.
