Lift Maintenance
ShoreStation Hydraulic lifts are low maintenance systems; however, all
mechanical systems require frequent inspection and proper
maintenance procedures to ensure proper, safe performance. The
following procedures must be performed:
Before and after every operation
•
Check the lift at every operation for hydraulic leaks and damage
to the hydraulic hoses and fittings. Have any worn or damaged
components replaced by your ShoreStation dealer before
operating the lift.
•
Check all lift cables and extension chains for signs of wear or
fraying. Have any worn or damaged components replaced by
your ShoreStation dealer before operating the lift.
•
If an A/C Battery Tender is used to charge the lift batteries,
check the system to make sure it is powered and charging
correctly after operating the lift. If an error condition exists
(alternating lights), unplug the Battery Tender for a few seconds
and plug back in to ensure the system recharges while
unattended.
•
If a solar panel is used to charge the lift batteries, check the
panel to make sure it is clean and clear of debris.
Every Season
•
Remove the storage pins from the lift tubes by running the lift
UP to make sure it is fully UP. This will free any load against the
pins making them easier to remove.
•
Visually check all hydraulic fittings and hoses for signs of leaks
or damage.
•
Check the hydraulic fluid level with the lift fully raised to make
sure the reservoir is at least ¾ full. The reservoir level is highest
when the lift is fully UP. If additional fluid is required, contact
