GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
Regular inspection and conscientious maintenance is the key to efficient economical operation of
your scissors lift. It will help to assure that your equipment will perform satisfactorily with a mini-
mum of service and repair.
The actual operating environment of the machine governs the inspection schedule. Correct lubri-
cation is an essential part of the preventative maintenance to minimize wear on working parts
and ensure against premature failure. By maintaining correct lubrication, the possibility of me-
chanical failure and resulting downtime is reduced to a minimum.
NEVER PERFORM SERVICE ON THE MACHINE (WITH THE
PLATFORM ELEVATED) WITHOUT FIRST BLOCKING THE BEAMS
(SCISSORS) ASSEMBLY IN PLACE USING THE MAINTENANCE
LOCK!
•
Block scissors assembly using Maintenance Lock if
machine is in the elevated/extended position.
•
Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open.
They must be protected from contamination (includ-
ing rain) at all times.
•
Never open a hydraulic system when there are con-
taminants in the air.
•
Always clean the surrounding area before opening
hydraulic systems.
•
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubri-
cants or incompatible lubricants may be as harmful
as no lubrication.
•
Watch for makeshift “fixes” which can jeopardize
safety as well as lead to more costly repair.
