EZ Way Smart Lift

 Safety & Maintenance Checklist

The EZ Way Smart Lift

®

 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 six months.  Any detected deficiency must be rectified before 
the lift is put back into service.

1) Check wear of hanger assembly bushing by moving hanger assembly up and    
  down. If hanger assembly moves up and down and the thickness of 2 quarters    
  can be inserted between hanger assembly and load cell the hanger assembly    
  needs to be replaced. 

2) Check all bolts to ensure they are tight.

3) Check boom to hanger assembly pivot bolt, peel rubber back  
  to assure nut is tight and cotter pin is in place. Check boom to    

 

  mast pivot bolt by removing plastic cap to assure nut is tight 
  and  cotter pin is in place. If plastic cap is missing order    

 

 

 replacement.

 
 
4) Check the point where sling hanger and hanger spreader bar meet. If    

 

  excessively worn, replace the bushings immediately. The hanger spreader and    
  sling hanger wear points need to be checked for wear. If hooks appear worn,    
  call EZ Way for instructions.

 
5) Check mounting bolts of actuator top and bottom. Pay particular  
    attention to top bolt hole for elongation.
