stretching, thinning portions, etc. Confirm that the pulley rotates freely and is securely fastened to the mast.

Remove rust with steel wool. Clean the affected areas and apply touch-up paint.

Confirm that all parts operate normally.
4. Wheels, rollers, and casters: check each wheel, caster, and roller for wobbliness, damage, and severe wear. All
should roll smoothly. Clean them to remove grit from the surfaces, if necessary.
5. Hardware: examine the pins, bolts, nuts, etc. Tighten loose fasteners. Replace all damaged fasteners.
Maintenance:
Implement a maintenance program to ensure that the lifter functions normally for as long as possible.
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. Inspect the lifter as described on p. 7. If deformity, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear of structural
members is present, permanently remove the lifter from service.
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.
