SIX-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
(can be carried out by the operator)
•
Check the emergency descent valve for proper operation.
Lift the cage to a height and execute an “emergency descent”, as indicated in the appropriate
section of this manual.
•
Hydraulic Oil
Check the hydraulic oil level and top up, as required.
Refer to the specifications in the appropriate paragraph for information regarding hydraulic oil
checks and top-up;
•
Check the hydraulic oil piping connections and make sure there are no leaks;
•
Check the cage and entrance doors
Correct blocking of the cage and entrance doors operating correctly.
•
Check the correct operation and integrity of the controls in the cage
Controls functioning correctly, firmly fastened, control warnings and marks legible.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE
(must be carried out by adequately trained personnel)
•
Checking the sliding pads of the extensible column
Each part of the lifting column, called extension, slides over the other by means of nylon pads.
With regular machine use, these could be worn and cause a gradual direct rubbing on the
extensions, thereby compromising the efficiency of the extensible structure.
Check if the extensions rub against each other; if so, the machine must be stopped and the pads
replaced. For this, it is advisable to contact Faraone S.p.A. or an authorised maintenance centre.
Refer to the “REPLACING THE EXTENSION SLIDING PADS” chapter for more information.
•
Transmission motor (ELEVAH 40 MOVE)
Check the brushes for wear and replace them if required, and check the manifold.
Refer to the instructions in the relative paragraph for information regarding checking and replacing
the brushes;
•
Check there is no clearance, mechanical parts not correctly secured and/or bent and no
damaged welds on parts/components;
•
Check the integrity of the structural profiles;
•
Check the wheels for wear
Check there is no debris on the wheels or around them. Check the tread for wear or damage.
The wheels must be replaced if the edges are worn or the profiles deformed. If the wheels have
significant damage on the tread or sides, immediately assess the severity of the damage before
operating the machine again.
It is advisable to replace the wheel before the thickness of the tread becomes less than 5 mm.
•
Battery Inspection
Periodically check for any corrosion and tightening of the terminals and any acid top-ups required
in the battery (if lead/acid type).
