Autoquip HORIZONTAL BALL SCREW - Manual (Page 18)

Normally, mechanical lifts and tilters require very little maintenance. However, a routine
maintenance program could prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime.
WARNING!
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform or perform any
maintenance on the equipment until the load is removed and the platform
or scissors mechanism is securely blocked in the open position. See the
"Lift Blocking Instructions" section.
MONTHLY INSPECTION
1. Check for visible leaks at the gearbox; correct as necessary.
2. Check any unusual noise when it occurs. Determine the source and correct as
necessary.
3. Check the snap rings at all rollers, if not in place, and/or secure, replace or repair
immediately.
4. Check all rollers for signs of wear. Replace as necessary.
5. Do not grease roller or axles; they have lifetime-lubricated bearings.
6. Check all wiring for looseness or wear. Repair at once.
