Daily Inspection & Maintenance:
1. Cleanliness: Cables, Columns, Runways, and other lift parts should be kept free of corrosive
agents, solvents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift component,
immediately rinse thoroughly with water and wipe down with a clean rag. Spray wire rope cables
as required with penetrating oil and wipe down. Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and
solvents will lead to reduced component service life, cable failure, etc., which could result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
2. Fasteners: Check all the attaching bolts and nuts for tightness.
3. Cables: Check wire rope cables for wear or damage. Any cable with broken wires, severe
corrosion, excessive stretch, deformed strands, variations in diameter (necking), or any change
from its normal appearance, must be replaced. If any cable is found to be in need of replacement,
the entire cable set must be replaced immediately. Refer to figu es on previous page.
