Preventative Maintenance

 

Cleaning

 

CAUTION 

Failure to perform periodic inspections of the 
LiftMate could result in personal injury or 
equipment damage.

 

 

CAUTION 

The shroud material is resistant to most medicinal 
type stains, but may be damaged by solvents and 
dyes. Remove any spilled fluids from the shrouds, 
painted surfaces or mat immediately.

 

● Periodically inspect the electrical cord to ensure it 
is free of cuts or damage. 

● Inspect the mechanical functions to ensure 
satisfactory operation. 

● Ensure that cord hooks are not loose. Remove 
outer right shroud and tighten if necessary. 

● Check shroud screws to make sure they are present 
and tightened securely. 

● Check platform bumper for damage, and to ensure 
that it is secured to the edge of the platform. Reattach 
or replace as necessary. 

● Make sure the covers located at the back of the 
platform when raised, are engaged with the guides, 
and move freely when the platform is raised up and 
down. 

● Clean the LiftMate weekly, wiping the painted metal 
and plastic surfaces with a clean, soft cloth. If desired, 
mild cleaners may be used. 

● Clean the mat immediately after contact with any 
fluids or gels. Use a mild soap and rinse with clear 
water. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals as they can 
permanently damage the finish. To prevent mat from 
peeling do not allow it to remain wet. 

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

Casters 

All casters will not extend or retract. 

This may indicate a low battery condition. Pressing any function on the 

Hand Pendant will cause “Low Battery” light on Hand Pendant to illuminate, and beeping sound to occur. Charge 
battery. Note: plugging LiftMate into receptacle will resume all functions in a low battery condition. If this action 
does not resume functionality contact Warehousing Equipment Customer Service at 

1800 337 711. 

One caster will not extend or retract.

Lay LiftMate onto its back on a carpeted or protective surface that will not damage 

the finish. Check casters for wear, debris or damage. Clean or replace as needed. See the Service Parts list for 
replacement kit number. 

Casters causing marks on floor

. Over time casters can get embedded with dirt redepositing it onto flooring. Lay 

LiftMate onto its back on a carpeted or protective surface that will not damage the finish. Clean casters with soap 
and water. Use a fine stiff wire brush with just enough force to remove dirt (use only if necessary). Use this 
opportunity to check casters for wear or damage. Replace as needed. See parts list for replacement kit number.
