II. Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are sealed and do not require any lubrication
III. Spare Tire
In the event that the spare tire is required, the following procedure should be followed.
a) Crank the lift down off of its wheels. Continue cranking until the tires are clear of the ground.
b) The spare tire can be removed from its mount by removing the retaining pin and sliding it
off of the mounting axle.
c) Disengage the parking brake on the tire being changed by pulling down on the push handle.
d) Remove the retaining pin and extract the axle from the tire to be changed. Remove the tire
and replace it with the spare tire. Reinsert the axle and retaining pin.
e) Have the tire serviced immediately and reinstall on the lift so that a spare tire is available.
IV. Tire Replacement
Should the tires become excessively worn or weathered, replacement tires (size 4.80/4.00-8 or
K-301M-023) can be obtained from any tire supplier. It is recommended that a tube be used
even with tubeless tires for additional reliability. The Mobilift AX / AXR is delivered with
special valve stem caps that provide additional sealing reliability. These should be replaced
with any new tires.
Adjustments
The adjustments covered in this section refer only to those items where parts are not required. If new
parts are to be installed, the parts will be supplied by the manufacturer with detailed instructions on
installation and adjustment. If the lift has been vandalized or damaged such that welding or machining
is required, it must be carried out by qualified trades people, who should also refer to the manufacturer's
literature and discuss the repairs with the manufacturer.
I. Lifting/Return Cables
As illustrated, the lifting cables [22] go from the main winding drum [32] up through the top of
the drive shroud over the upper lift pulleys [39], then down under the deck. These four cables
are critical because each supports

the load of the lift. If the inspection indicates need for
adjustment, contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions.
II. Deck Paralleling Cable Adjustments
If the inspection indicates that the deck is not level or that the paralleling cables require
adjustment, contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions.
III. Parking Brakes
The parking brakes are an important safety feature of the lift. They hold in the "off" position to
move the lift, when the push handles are released the brakes apply automatically. The brakes
can also be released by pulling down the tow bar [20].
Adjust the brake cables so that they are tight enough to pull the brake cylinder clear of the tire
but are slack when the push handles and the tow bar are in the upper (braking) position.
If the brakes do not release, or drag when the push handles or tow bar are down, the cables
