SECTION 8

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION

Annual inspections are required to help prevent 

unsafe conditions and operation.  

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS 

OWNER / MAINTENANCE PERSONAL

BEFORE USE 
Do not use lift until these conditions are rectified. 

• 

All doors and gates are locked and secure.

• 

Ensure there is no standing water around the 

unit.

• 

Make sure the AC connections are in good 

condition and that there are no cracks or gaps 

in conduit. 

• 

Make sure there are no obstructions intruding 

in the path of the lift.

 

People, tree branches, loose items, etc.

• 

Check that there is no loose hardware or 

emerging cracks/deformations in the platform 

and tower. Make sure that there are no unusual 

noise or vibrations that develop.

PERIODICALLY

• 

Check and ensure that the safety pan under 

the platform moves freely up and down and is 

not damaged. This is the built-in safety device 

designed to detect obstructions under the 

platform and stop platform downward motion. If 

for any reason the safety pan does not move as 

intended, please contact your dealer. 

• 

Check and ensure that all labels are intact and 

legible. If any safety or warning labels need to 

be replaced, please contact your dealer. 

• 

Make sure you have a copy of the Owner’s 

Manual. A digital copy of the Owner’s Manual is 

available at harmar.com.

• 

Check your key locks and emergency 

stop button for functionality. Ensure user 

understands overrides and understands how 

to manually open the gate in the event of an 

emergency. 

EMERGENCY GATE KEY MUST BE 

LEFT WITH END USER.

• 

Check for any rust that may be developing. 

Rust is expected in outdoor applications 

(especially in coastal areas), but with proactive 

maintenance or quick repair, this can be 

minimized.

IMPORTANT 
Understanding State/Local Inspection Requirements 

and Timing - Always Required. 

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

 

RECOMMENDED EVERY 6-MONTHS

• 

Check for motor gearbox leaks

• 

Check wear pads for gaps

• 

Lubricate ACME screw with Nook PAG-1 ACME 

Screw Grease

• 

Check all structural connections/hardware

• 

Inspect the safety brake

• 

Ensure the electrical disconnect works as 

intended

• 

Check all interlocks, and obstruction sensors

We recommend this be performed by a qualified 

service technician.
