DEFLECTION
It is the responsibility of the user/purchaser to advise the manufacturer where deflection
may be critical to the application.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
The lift shall be inspected and maintained in proper working order in accordance with
Autoquip’s operating/maintenance (O&M) manual and with other applicable safe
operating practices.
REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
Any lift not in safe operating condition such as, but not limited to, excessive leakage,
missing rollers, pins, or fasteners, any bent or cracked structural members, cut or frayed
electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic lines, damaged or malfunctioning controls or safety
devices, etc. shall be removed from service until it is repaired to the original
manufacturer’s standards.
REPAIRS
All repairs shall be made by qualified personnel in conformance with Autoquip’s
instructions.
OPERATORS
Only trained personnel and authorized personnel shall be permitted to operate the lift.
BEFORE OPERATION
Before using the lift, the operator shall have:
 Read and/or had explained, and understood, the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and safety rules.
 Inspected the lift for proper operation and condition. Any suspect item shall be
carefully examined and a determination made by a qualified person as to
whether it constitutes a hazard. All items not in conformance with Autoquip’s
specification shall be corrected before further use of the lift.
DURING OPERATION
The lift shall only be used in accordance with Autoquip’s O&M manual.
 Do not overload the lift.
 Ensure that all safety devices are operational and in place.
 Autoquip warrants this lift for 60,000 cycles each warranty year. This number of
cycles is meant to represent normal, single shift duty. Exceeding this number of
cycles shortens the life of the lift and the length of your warranty and indicates
that a more robust lift design for high cycle duty should have been requested.
MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS
Modifications or alterations to industrial lifting equipment shall be made only with written
permission of Autoquip. Autoquip does not foresee and does not anticipate
unauthorized modifications, and these changes or alterations are grounds for voiding all
warranties.
