6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Maintenance Devices
NEVER go under a raised lift platform until load is removed and
lift is securely blocked in raised position with maintenance
devices.
Lock-out/tag-out power source.
This procedure describes the only factory-approved method of working under a lift. Follow these
instructions EVERY time you plan to reach or crawl beneath the lift to perform service or maintenance
– no matter how momentary that might be.
If the factory-provided maintenance devices are damaged or missing, stop immediately and consult the
factory for assistance. The manufacturer is not liable for your failure to use the approved maintenance
devices and procedures that have been provided.
1. All loads must be removed from the lift prior to engaging the maintenance devices. These devices
are designed to support an unloaded lift only. Failure to remove the load from the lift prior to
blocking could cause the failure of the maintenance devices and allow the lift to fall unexpectedly.
This can result in personal injury or death.
2. Raise the lift to its fully raised position. If you do not, the maintenance devices may not be able to
be placed properly in their designed blocking position.
3. The lift will be provided with two (2) maintenance locks stored on the outside of the base frame.
The locks must be securely placed inside the base frame and thus in the roller path of the lift (See
Figure 6.1).
4. Lower the lift platform until the leg rollers make contact with both maintenance locks. Re-check to
ensure that both devices are fully and properly engaged with the leg rollers. If both left and right
maintenance locks are not fully engaged the lift could fall unexpectedly.
