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. Sheave Pins: Check for loose or missing sheave (pulley) pins.
6. Locking Latches and Slack Cable Devices: Watch locking latches and slack cable devices
during lift operation to ensure that latches work properly and line up with slots in latch plate
located in columns.
Monthly Inspection & Maintenance
1. Cables
1.1 Clean wire rope cables with lift in both lowered and raised position by spraying with
Penetrating Oil and wiping the cable down.
1.2 Adjust cables using procedures on following pages.
2. Slack Cable Device: Inspect slack cable devices using procedure on page 5.
3. Column Anchor Bolts: Check column anchor bolts for tightness. Re-torque anchors bolts to
65 ft/lbs. If anchors do not tighten to the required installation torque, replace concrete under
each column base per installation instructions. Let concrete cure before installing lifts and
anchors.
4. Columns: Look for corrosion, giving special attention to the area at the base of the column.
Check severely corroded areas by pecking with an awl or welder’s chipping hammer. If column
is corroded through at any point it must be replaced immediately. If not corroded through,
remove old paint and rust scale, then coat with a high quality corrosion resistant paint.
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
