Daily Inspection & Maintenance
1. Cleanliness: Cables, Columns, Runways and other lift parts should be kept free of
corrosive agents, solvents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift
component, immediately rinse thoroughly with water and wipe down with a clean rag. Spray
wire rope cables as required with Penetrating Oil and wipe down.
Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and solvents will lead to reduced component
service life, cable failure, etc., which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
2. Fasteners: Check all the attaching bolts and nuts for tightness.
