Reduction in Diameter Up to 5/16” 1/64” 3/8” to 1/2” 1/32” 9/16” to 3/4” 3/64” 7/8” to 1-1/8” 1/16” 1-1/4” to 1-1/2” 3/32” Typical Good Cable Cable With Broken Wires Cable With Severe Corrosion Cable With Necking Daily Inspection & Maintenance 1. Cleanliness: Cables, Columns, Runways and other lift parts should be kept free of corrosive agents, solvents, and road salts.
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 figures below. 4. Sheaves: Check sheaves (pulleys) for wear or damage, i.e. wobble (tilt), cracks, loose on pin, or excessive noise during operation. 5.

Sheaves: Check sheaves (pulleys) for wear or damage, i.e. wobble (tilt), cracks, loose on pin, or excessive noise during operation. 5. Sheave Pins: Check for loose or missing sheave (pulley) pins. 6.
d. That cables do not have excessive stretch. It is normal for new cable to require adjustment during “break-in”, after which small periodic adjustments may be required. However, if a cable that has been in service for 6 months should suddenly require frequent adjustments or has used all the cable adjustment available, all cables must be replaced immediately. e. If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set must be replaced immediately. f.
2.2 Fully raise lift. Inspect sheaves (pulleys) in runway ends with lift in raised position. a. Visually inspect alignment of sheaves, see figure above. Misalignment of sheave(s) indicates excessive wear; the sheave(s) and sheave pin should be removed and inspected. Replace as required. b. Hold lowering handle down to lower lift onto latches. Pull on cables under runway to create cable slack. c. Check for excessive side to side wobble.
leaks. Repair or replace as required. 1 Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable pull bar. 4. TRACKS for Rolling Jack and Oil Drain Pan Inspect rolling jack/oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty tracks. Worn or damaged tracks must be repaired immediately. Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. 5.
g. h. i. j. columns. Adjust locking latch bar adjusting nut so that the bottom of the topmost latch bar slot is at least 2” below locking latch. After adjustment, tighten jam nut underneath column top plate, Fig. 11. If entire 2” clearance cannot be attained by adjusting the locking latch bar, adjust the cable. Turn cable adjusting nut to raise the locking latch 2” above bottom of latch bar slot. Tighten cable jam nut. Lower lift and remove vehicle. Raise the lift to full height.
