of approximately 5,000 hours per year. Special applications such as high cycle,
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.
If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact you local service
representative or the Autoquip Service Department for assistance (888-811-9876).
