Spilled hydraulic fluid is slippery and may also present a fire
hazard.
Clean up spilled hydraulic fluid.
Normally, scissor lifts will require very little maintenance. However, a routine maintenance program could
prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime.
6.2.1
Every Day Or 10 Hours Of Operation
• Check reservoir fluid level.
• Check for fluid leaks.
• Check all hoses and electrical cords for cracks, abrasions, twisting, etc. Small leaks at
connections can be remedied by tightening connections or replacing faulty component.
• Check that oil pressure does not exceed 3,000 psi.
• Check all pivot joints & roller bearings for noise and wear.
• Check overall condition of unit (i.e. bends, breaks, loose or missing screws, etc.).
6.2.2
Every Month Or 100 Hours Of Operation
• Check quality of oil. Replace if discolored (oxidized), cloudy, or otherwise contaminated. Do not
overfill reservoir. Always use clean fluid.
• Inspect lift cylinder rods for scoring and leaking, wipe away any foreign material.
• Inspect all structural and mechanical components for cracked, or broken welds and any distortion
caused by collision, overloading, or other misuse.
• Inspect snap rings/bolts at rollers & pivot points for proper retention & tightness.
• Inspect cylinder trunion pin for proper retention.
When all checks have been completed, start unit and operate through all functions. Inspect all
components for signs of noise, vibration, erratic movement, and any other abnormal behavior.
6.2.3
Every Year Or 1000 Hours Of Operation
• Change oil and clean reservoir. Always use clean fluid. Never return fluid from drip pans, pit, etc.
back to reservoir. Dispose of and handle used fluid as a hazardous material.
• If noise or vibration has been noticed, remove lift cylinder pins, pivot pins, and roller bearings.
Inspect for wear and replace as necessary.
• Inspect all hydraulic hoses, replace any that show signs of wear or leaking.
• Replace all filters.
• Check for permanent mechanical deformation.
