5.1 General maintenance instructions
Maintenance is extremely important for the reliability and durability of the Mobile Lift and its components. It
is the user’s responsibility to notice any irregularities in the operation of the machine at an early stage and to
rectify them. This prevents excessive wear of the parts and damage to the Mobile Lift. Depending on the work
to be carried out, the following instructions must be observed when performing preventative and/or corrective
maintenance on the Mobile Lift:
•
Just as with any industrial installation, the lift must be regularly inspected and serviced. In general, it can
be said that setting up and following a preventative maintenance programme (or adding one to an existing
maintenance programme) benefits the operation, reliability and durability of the system at the lowest cost.
It is recommended to record all measurements, maintenance work, emergencies, etc. in a logbook.
•
The maintenance organization must be able to supply the necessary parts for every type of repair. It must
also be able to provide skilled maintenance mechanics within a reasonable time for an inspection carried
out by an authorized third party.
•
Many machine-related accidents occur during maintenance or repair work. It is, therefore, important to
observe the safety requirements. Three important safety points are given below. These points and the
safety points given in chapter 2 must be observed.
•
Extremely important: Make sure the plug is removed from the plug socket. This prevents the Mobile Lift
from unexpectedly receiving a voltage supply.
•
Consider your own safety and the safety of others. Do not do anything that may be considered unsafe.
•
If a safety feature must be removed to carry out the maintenance work, refit it immediately after the
maintenance work has been completed. The Mobile Lift must not be turned on without the necessary
safety features being in place.
Preventative maintenance must be carried out regularly. The following must be carried out after every 1,000
operating hours, but at least once a year.
Inspection
Check, in particular, the following:
•
Check the legibility of any warnings. Also check for damage and/or faults.
•
Check all the electric cables and the control panel for damage.
•
Thoroughly inspect all the parts for damage and faults. If in doubt, always replace the part or have it
inspected by an expert.
Replace all the worn parts and the parts that are so damaged that they can no longer be used safely.
