Autoquip TRUCK LEVELER - SHALLOW PIT MOUNT - Manual (Page 30)

30
Normally the Truck Leveler will require very little maintenance. However, a routine
maintenance program could prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime.
DANGER!
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform or perform
maintenance until the load is removed and the platform is securely blocked
on both raised corners. See "Blocking Instructions" section of this
manual.
HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the power
unit prior to any maintenance being performed.
MONTHLY INSPECTION
1. Check oil level (see “Oil Recommendations” in this section) and add appropriate oil
when necessary.
2. Check for any visible leaks. Correct as necessary.
3. Check any unusual noise when it occurs. Determine the source and correct as
necessary.
4. Check all hydraulic hoses and pipes for interference with platform or damage such
as crushing cutting, or rubbing. Replace and reposition immediately.
5. Check all wiring for looseness or wear. Repair at once.
OIL REQUIREMENTS
Change oil yearly, or more frequently if it darkens materially or feels gummy or gritty.
Use detergent motor oils only. Do not use hydraulic-jack oil, hydraulic fluids, brake
fluids, or automatic transmission fluid.
