The EZ Out requires a minimum of servicing to keep it in good working order. Nevertheless, it is
important that certain basic checks be periodically made by maintenance staff to ensure on-going safety
throughout the life of the device.
The manufacturer suggests that the following components and operating points be scheduled for
inspection at intervals not greater than one year. Any detected deficiency must be rectified before
the lift is put back into service.
1) Check all bolts to ensure they are tight.
2) At six month intervals, attach a load equivalent to the rated capacity of the lift to the cable. Raise
and lower the load with the lift. Listen for any unusual noises while operating the unit. With the test
load applied to the lift, check all structural welds for any signs of stress or fatigue cracks. If any unusual
noises or cracks are found, stop using the lift and call the EZ Way Service Department immediately!
3) Test the Emergency Stop Switch. If the switch does not stop the lift when
activated, call the EZ Way Service Department immediately!
4) Perform a functional test of the emergency lowering feature of the lift actuator.
5) Check all the wheels and brakes to make sure they are functioning
properly. Hair that gets picked up and wrapped in between wheels should
be cleaned out so that the lift will roll easily.
6) Do a visual check for any damaged, missing or loose parts. Repair as
necessary.
7) Check the entire sling for damage or wear, including the loops and stitching. If damage or wear is
present, discard the sling and order a new one. It is recommended that slings be replaced after one year
or if the sling shows any sign of damage or wear.
