Lubricating the Lift
There are eight lubrication points on the Lift. Find the Grease Fittings from the Parts Bag and install
them on the Lift.
All of the lubrication points are where Sheaves are located:
• Four lubrication points on the Crosstube Sheaves. Each Crosstube Sheave is next to a
Sleeve, for a total of four.
• Four lubrication points under the Powerside Runway. One on the underside of each of
the four Runway Sheave locations (two locations on each end of the Powerside Runway).
To lubricate: Put a small amount of white lithium grease or similar into the small hole at each
lubrication point, both before you use the Lift and monthly after putting the Lift into service.
The following drawing shows the locations of the lubrication points.
