INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to keep the device in satisfactory condition.
Compare the results of each inspection to the
to determine whether the unit is satisfactory
condition or requires repairs or replacement parts. If you are uncertain whether a part requires repair or
for assistance.
•
Periodically lubricate moving parts.
•
Keep the product clean and dry.
•
Only use manufacturer- approved replacement parts.
At least once every 2 weeks,
inspect the following:
1.
Winch, winch mounting bracket (see
RAISING AND LOWERING THE PLATFORM
on p. 9), cable, and
pulley: Cycle the platform up and down. Listen for unusual noises and watch for binding or rough
movement as the platform moves. Examine the winch. Make sure that the spool is intact and rotates
smoothly when the handle is turned. Inspect the mounting bracket. The winch should be solidly
attached to the bracket. Tighten all loose fasteners. Lower the platform and examine the cable for
reeving, stretching, thinning portions, etc. Confirm that the pulley rotates freely and is securely fastened
to the mast.
2.
Frame (mast, base, platform, and platform rollers): examine the frame for damaged welds, severe
rusting, cracks, bends, etc. Remove rust with steel wool. Clean affected areas & apply touch-up paint.
3.
Casters and wheels: check each caster and wheel for wobbling, damage, and severe wear. Wheels
and casters should roll smoothly. Clean the casters to remove grit from the surfaces, if necessary.
4.
Hardware: examine the pins, bolts, nuts, etc. Tighten loose fasteners.
5.
Floor lock: confirm that it makes solid contact with the ground when applied. Check the condition of
the rubber pad. Replace the pad if wear or damage affects its function.
Maintenance:
Implement a maintenance program to ensure that the lifter functions properly. Page 9 of
ANSI/ITSDF standard B56.10-2006, “Manually propelled high lift industrial trucks”, describes recommended
maintenance procedures. A copy of the standard is downloadable for free from the ITSDF website (see
). Apply those recommendations in conjunction with the following steps.
1. Tag the lifter, “Out of Service.”
2
U
. Inspect the lifter as described above. If deformity, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear of structural
members is present, DO NOT use the lifter. If the platform does not move smoothly or makes noise as it
moves up or down the upright, apply a silicon wax or silicon spray to the inside of the mast frame.
3. Remove any dirt or other matter from the cable and pulleys and other lifter surfaces.
4. Perform all other necessary adjustments and/or repairs. DO NOT modify the lifter.
5. Make a dated record of the repairs, adjustments and/or replacements made.
