MAINTENANCE
Safety during maintenance
When performing maintenance on the
machine with the platform elevated, always
ensure that the safe arm is setup in correct
position.
FAILURE TO ENGAGE THE
MAINTENANCE ARMS MAY RESULT
IN THE PLATFORM LOWERING
WITHOUT WARNING.
Periodical maintenance & checks
Prior to first use of the machine, all daily /
pre-use checks must be undertaken. If the
machine has been in storage for a long
period of time, it may be necessary to
undertake additional checks and tests per
the table on the next page (e.g. hydraulic
oil, battery condition).
Following any maintenance on the machine,
a full function test should be undertaken to
ensure correct operation of the machine.
It is essential that only manufacturer‟s
approved replacement parts are used
when maintaining and servicing the
machine. Failure to do so may result in an
unsafe or unstable machine.
Storage
The electrical components of the machine
are not protected from external weather
conditions and the machine should
therefore not be stored outdoors. Storage
in a clean, dry indoor environment is
recommended.
Frequent checks on the condition of the
machine should be made to ensure no
excessive deterioration occurs due to the
environment in which the machine is
housed.
Lubrication
The required lubrication points are slip
guides and castor mounts.
The lubricant recommended for use with
the machine is : Standard Machine Grease
Hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil level can be checked by
removing the filler cap fitted to the
hydraulic oil tank. The correct amount of oil
is in the tank when hydraulic fluid appears
on the tip of the dipstick. This check must
be carried out with the platform is in the
level surface.
The hydraulic oil can be topped up by
adding oil to the filler located. Take care
not to spill hydraulic fluid over any of the
surrounding machine components.
The hydraulic oil can be drained by
removing the tank by removing the bolts
and separating the tank from the pump
body. The hydraulic fluid can then be
correctly disposed of. Re-assembly is the
reverse of above.
The hydraulic oil recommended for use
with this machine is: Mineral basis
hydraulic oil with lubricating, antifoaming,
anti-corrosive, antioxidant HL - HLP (ISO
and UNI HM) – HV - HLPD performances
according to DIN51524 part 1
‐ 2
standards.
