MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS
Required Maintenance
● Clean the air filter elements
weekly or as use and dust & lint conditions dictate
.
○ The filter elements are secured to the front and rear E-Lift housing by square
plastic rings that snap on/off.
○ Vacuuming of the filter elements while still in place on the E-Lift is an acceptable
means of cleaning.
○ For deep cleaning, the square plastic rings may be removed, and then the filter
elements may be washed in warm, soapy water. Be sure the element is
completely dry before you replace it.
● Inspect the cables for wear
monthly
, especially where they move over pulleys.
● Check the mounting hardware and re-tighten if loose
seasonally
.
● Inspect the cables for slack and the spring for over-stretch
yearly
.
○ If any of the cables are hanging loose, the cables have become stretched or the
spring is over-stretched.
○ Remove the spring to determine if it is the cause. Without tension, the spring
coils should completely close. If you see space between the coils replace the
spring and recheck the cables for slack.
○ If the cables are showing slack with a good spring in place, the cables must be
replaced.
● Lubricate the cam-cylinder axle yearly. Beeswax is a suitable, long-lasting lubricant to
rub onto the axle under where the cam-cylinders rotate. Dry, clear, spray Teflon or
Silicone lubricants are also suitable, but with shorter working life.
