Maintenance and Care
The following
“inspection and maintenance” should be performed at the recommended intervals based on the
operation and the amount of cycles or when the unit shows any signs of damage or abuse. Remember that the
secret to the long life of your PALFINGER Liftgate is to maintain it through preventive care.
The Daily Overall Inspection should be completed by the operator each day. Perform the Lubrication Plan
according to the following pages. The Routine Maintenance Schedule should be performed quarterly by an
Authorized Service Center.
Your first visit to your Authorized Service Center should occur once the liftgate has been in operation for 30
days. The importance of this initial inspection is to make sure that everything is working properly during the
break in period. Once this is complete, return quaterly to your Authorized Service Center.
Do not operate the liftgate if any issues or damages are noticed during its daily inspection. Liftgate
malfunction may cause severe personal injury or death. Liftgate should be inspected IMMEDIATELY by
an Authorized Service Center.
