Maintenance Tips

• Re-torque anchor bolts monthly (approx. 150 N·m) to maintain structural stability under heavy loads.
• Inspect all lifting cables, chains, pins, and fasteners regularly for wear, corrosion, or loosening.
• Lubricate overhead equalization cables monthly to ensure smooth, synchronized lifting.
• Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and power unit for leaks, pressure loss, or damage.
• Lubricate arm pivots, rollers, and safety lock components using 90WT gear oil or equivalent.
• Inspect primary and secondary safety lock systems regularly to ensure full engagement before operation.
• Check equalizer cable tension every 6 months and adjust to maintain level lifting.
• Verify columns remain plumb and properly aligned to ensure safe load distribution.
• Inspect arms, carriages, and structural welds for fatigue or deformation due to heavy-duty use.
• Keep hydraulic cylinder rods clean and free from dirt, rust, and scratches.
• Replace hydraulic oil after first 3 months of use, then annually (use N46 anti-wear hydraulic oil).
• Operate at least one full lift cycle daily to remove trapped air from the hydraulic system.
• Clean dust seals, pulleys, and cable pathways regularly to extend component life.
• Ensure arm restraints are functioning properly and engaging securely before lifting vehicles.
• Follow manufacturer maintenance schedule strictly to ensure safe, reliable long-term operation.
