6. Maintenance and Care Instructions

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your lift.

• Daily Use: Check daily if the safety device can lock into place and if the linkage is functioning properly. If there are any potential hazards, repair or replace them promptly.
• Weekly Inspection: Inspect the steel wire for looseness or broken strands. Observe the sliding blocks on the internal platform of the columns and apply grease as needed. If wear on one side exceeds 20%, it will no longer be securely gripped by the columns and should be replaced in a timely manner.
• Bi-Weekly Check: Inspect all hydraulic hose connections for leaks or ruptures, and repair or replace them as necessary.
• Monthly Maintenance: Check if all screws and nuts are tightened properly. After a test run, retighten all screws and nuts.

If you encounter issues with your lift, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lift does not raise: Check power supply, hydraulic fluid level, and motor functionality. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
• Lift lowers unevenly: Inspect hydraulic lines for leaks, check cable tension, and ensure safety locks are disengaging properly on both sides.
• Unusual noises during operation: Check for loose components, worn pulleys, or insufficient lubrication.
• Hydraulic fluid leaks: Inspect all hose connections, seals, and cylinders for damage. Tighten connections or replace faulty components.
• Safety locks not engaging: Check the safety lock mechanism for obstructions or damage. Ensure cables are properly adjusted.
