HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 64 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Lubricating the Lift
There are several lubrication points on the Lift. All of them are where Sheaves are located:
• Inside of the Crosstube Gussets. One on each side of the Crosstube Gusset facing the
inside, for a total of eight.
• Under the Cable Sheaves. One under each Double Cable Sheave under the Front Powerside
Runway and another two under the two Rear Sheaves under the Rear Powerside Runway.
Put a small amount of white lithium grease or similar on each lubrication point before you use the Lift
and monthly after putting the Lift into service.
