Preventive Maintenance
:
Maintenance is necessary to
ensure safe and trouble free lift
operation. General preventive
lift maintenance consisting of
careful inspections of the lift sys-
tem and cleaning the lift should
be a part a regular daily service
program. Simple inspections
can detect potential problems.
Keeping the lift platform and
housing area clean is one of
the most effective preventive
maintenance practices to exer-
cise. Dirt, mud, snow, ice, and
other debris entering the hous-
ing could result in potential lift
problems.
