4 Service & maintenance
This chapter provides information about service and maintenance of the lifters. The chapter is divided into three
sections based on who is to perform the inspections and how often the inspections are to be carried out. Daily
by the operator, quarterly by inhouse maintenance or yearly by TAWI authorised service technician.
For technical service, maintenance or repairs contact your TAWI representative or [email protected]. TAWI must
authorise all modifications to this product. TAWI assumes no responsibility for unauthorised modifications and
guarantees will automatically become invalid if unauthorised modifications have been made.
Inspections
The following inspections are to be carried out.
• Service must be carried out on a yearly basis or when the service indicator lamp (see
G. Service indicator
on page 13)
on the control panel is lit.
• If any damage/wear is detected on the lifter, this must immediately be reported to TAWI or authorised
TAWI representative. The lifter must be taken out of commission and not be used until the damage has
been repaired.
• All service must be carried out with the battery disconnected. The battery pack can be lifted out in order
to remove the power source.
• In order to deal with the lifter’s cables and wiring, a good knowledge of electricity and TAWI electrical
schedules of the lifters is required.
Daily inspections by operator
1. If yearly service has been carried out, make sure that the service inspection date is valid.
2. Check that the max lifting capacity signs are visible.
3. Check that warning and operating labels are visible.
4. Make sure wheels and bearings are functioning and running smoothly.
5. Make sure breaks are functioning correctly and check for signs of damage/wear.
6. Check external wiring for damage/wear.
7. Make sure that the hand control is functioning properly.
• If the battery needs to be replaced, either order a new battery pack from TAWI or make sure that an
original battery is used. If assistance is needed, contact TAWI.
• Keep the lifter clean, use a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.
