extreme temperatures, outdoor or wash-down applications, corrosive environments, and
contaminated environments will require more frequent maintenance – and possibly
different lubricants. Special ordered lift features may also require maintenance and are
not included in the following schedules.

representative or the Autoquip Service Department for assistance (888-811-9876).
