LIFT MAINTENANCE
The steel cable deserves and requires the
most attention as it is the means by which
the load is able to move up and down.
The proper cable for this application is
supplied, but it is up to you to inspect and
maintain it regularly.
Keep the cable lubricated periodically to
avoid oxidation. Any light duty oil or
silicone based lubricant will do just fine.
Lubricate the pulleys frequently to prevent
premature wear. The same lubricant used
on the cable will be sufficient for this
application.
If the cable shows any sign of fraying,
wear, or deformation – order a replace-
ment from your authorized Applied
Electronics dealer or distributor.
Inspect the ball and shank that is swaged
to the top of the cable. As of 2019, all
cables have a secondary safety swag at
the end of the cable. Note the cable
should always remain flush to the end of
the safety swag. The secondary safety
swag should NOT be in contact with the
ball and shank swag. If there is no gap
between the safety swag and the ball and
shank, or if the cable is not flush with the
safety swag, remove the lift from service.
Always replace any bent or broken parts
immediately. These parts are available
and should be purchased through the
Applied Electronics dealer network.
Individually push the 2” and the 3” tubes
to one side in both directions and check
the gap between the tube and the
bushing material that surrounds the tube
at the top of each larger tube. If the gap
ever becomes greater than .035”, then
new material should be ordered to
replace the worn material. This gap can
be measured quickly and effectively with
a standard feeler gauge.
To replace the cable, follow the cable
routing diagram in
Figure 5 . Be sure to
keep the tubes in the same alignment
orientation. Termination of the cable to
the winch should be done as shown in
Figure 6 .
Do not oil or grease winch brake
mechanism.
