Lubrication
Properly lubricated, the ILU PALFINGER Liftgate will ensure longevity. Therefore, lubricate the lift at the same
time as the truck/trailer. Grease more frequently if the liftgate is heavily used. The liftgate should be greased
every 500 cycles (depending on use
– estimated every 3 month).
Check the oil level in the tank. The level should be between the two marks 5 and 7 when the platform is tilted
down at ground level in stored position. Use a good quality of hydraulic fluid, ISO 32. Change oil at least once
a year, preferably in the fall before the weather gets cold. The operation of the lift gate will accumulate
condensation and some dirt which can interfere with the lift gate functions.
5.3.1
Lubrication Plan
All bearing points must be lubricated in accordance with the maintenance intervals.
Make sure NOT to lubricate the rails with grease as it catches all dirt and mud.
Avoid this by using WD-40 for rail lubrication.
