Section 10 - Safety & Maintenance
SAFETY:
Caution:
Keep hands away from
PINCH POINTS.
As with most mechanical objects, the hinge point of a moving part
creates a pinch point. Be sure to not to stick fingers or extremities at or near these points.
Inspect the condition of your lift often.
If any parts are worn or damaged DO NOT USE THE LIFT
.
Immediately contact the dealer you purchased the lift from for repairs.
Caution:
Keep feet and any other objects out from under the platform as it lowers.
Caution:
Some chairs and scooters have pneumatic (air inflated) tires. If your chair/scooter has this type tire, be sure
the tires are properly inflated. Improper inflation of the tires will change how the unit fits on the platform and therefore change
the amount of clamping force on the chair/scooter.
Caution:
Before driving off with your chair or scooter on the lift, make sure that the chair/scooter is firmly held down
on the platform.
Caution:
When driving with your chair or scooter on the lift, slow down for pot holes, speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc.
Your lift could be damaged by abuse if subjected to excessive loads imposed by rough driving.
Caution:
Do not enter steep driveways straight on. Enter and leave at an angle to the street so that you lift platform does not
drag on the ground.
Caution:
Do not attempt to move the vehicle with the lift platform in the down position. If moved this way, the lifting
mechanism will be damaged.
WARNING! This lift is not meant for human transport. Chair/Scooter must be unoccupied before operating lift.
These lifts are for chair and scooter transport only.
Do not
attempt to transport any other vehicles or materials on the lift
other than what it is designed for.
MAINTENANCE:
The Universal outside lift has been designed to be as trouble free as possible for the owner.
The maintenance schedule is no exception.
Every 30 days oil the pivot points on all moving parts.
During winter and under dirty and dusty conditions, re-grease the inside square tube every 30 days. Lower the platform
to the ground and clean the square shaft with mineral spirits, WD-40 or any good solvent. Once clean, grease the square
shaft with a high-grade water-resistant grease, such as boat trailer wheel bearing grease.
NOTE: Your lift was assembled at the factory with Slick 50 “ONE GREASE”.
Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit rust.
This may be necessary more frequently when subjected to salt air or road salt.
Warranty:
This lift is covered by a three year factory warranty on materials and workmanship.
Contact your local dealer for more information.
