Check actuator for the following.
1. Inspect the plastic housing for any dents or cracks.
2. Inspect the cables to see if they have been cut or pinched.
3. See if the actuator appears deflected when fully extended at full load.
4. Verify that the mounting points do not have any cracks or other defects.
5. Apply a heavy grease to actuator mounting pins as needed.
6. Verify that the inner or outer tubes do not have any dents, dings,
or large scratches in them.
Contact EZ Way’s Service Department if the actuator shows any signs
of the issues listed above.
6. At six month intervals, attach a load equivalent to the rated capacity of the lift to the unit. Raise and
lower the load with the lift. Listen for any unusual noises while operating the unit. With the test load
applied to the lift, check all structural welds for any signs of stress or fatigue cracks. If any unusual noises
or cracks are found, stop using the lift and call the EZ Way Service Department immediately!
7. Test the Emergency Stop Switch. If the switch does not stop the lift when activated, call the EZ Way
Service Department immediately!
8. Perform a functional test of the emergency lowering feature of the lift actuator if it is so equipped.
9. Perform a functional test of the anti-pinch feature of the lift actuator. This feature turns the actuator off
when lowering the lift arm if an obstruction is encountered.
10. Check all the wheels and brakes to make sure they are functioning properly. Hair that gets picked up and
wrapped in between wheels should be cleaned out so that the lift will roll easily.
11. Do a visual check for any damaged, missing or loose parts. Repair as necessary.
12. Check the entire sling for damage or wear, including the loops and stitching. If damage or wear is
present, discard the sling and order a new one. It is recommended that slings be replaced after one
year or if the sling shows any sign of damage or wear.
13. When cleaning the lift, do not spray any liquid cleaners directly onto the front panel graphics. To clean,
use a glass cleaner such as Windex, dampen a cloth and wipe the panel.
