7.2 Cleaning of the automotive lift
A regular and appropriate maintenance practice will aid the preservation of the lift.
No guarantees can be given when damage (egg rust or fading colour) is the direct result of poor
maintenance and cleaning practice.
Regular cleaning of all kinds of dirt is the best protection against wear and the formation of rust
and will prolong the life of the lift
- Dirty deposits that can cause rust include:
• de-icing salt
• sand, pebble stone, natural soil
• all types of industrial dust
• water; also in connection with other environmental influences
• all types of aggressive deposits
• constant humidity caused by insufficient ventilation
Obviously this is dependent on the type of work being done with the lift, the degree of
cleanliness of the workshop and location of the lift. The degree and amount of dirt is dependent
on the season, on the weather conditions and the ventilation of the workshop.
During poor conditions it may be necessary to clean the lift once week, but cleaning once a
month will suffice.
Clean the lift and the floor with a non-aggressive and non-abrasive detergent. Use a gentle
detergent to clean the parts. Use an standard washing-up liquid and lukewarm water.
- Do not use steam jet cleaners.
- Remove all dirt carefully with a sponge or if necessary with a brush.
- Ensure that no washing-up liquid is left on the lift after cleaning.
- Do not use aggressive means for cleaning the workshop floor and the automotive lift.
- A permanent contact with any kind of liquid is not allowed. Do not use high
pressure devices for cleaning the lift.
- After cleaning dry the automotive-lift with a suitable type of cloth and inject it with a wax
spray or an oil spray.
8. Security check
The security check is necessary to guarantee the safety of the lifting during use. It has to be
performed in the following cases:
1. Before the initial operation, after the first installation
Use the form “First security check before initiation”
2. In regular intervals after the initial operation, at least annually.
Use the form “Regular security check at least annually”
3. Every time the construction of that particular lift has been changed.
Use the form “Extraordinary security check”
The first and the regular security check must be performed by a competent person. It
is recommended to service the lift at this occasion.
After the construction of the lift has been changed (changing the lifting height or
capacity for example) and after serious maintenance works (welding on carrying
