SPEED-LIFT MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

It is the responsibility of every Speed-Lift owner to properly maintain their Speed-Lift(s). Use the following guidelines every four (4) months, or more frequently in extreme oper ating conditions or very high volume operations. Your Speed-Lift will provide many years of safe, productive, dependable service when these guidelines are regularly followed. Make arrangements as soon as a new Speed-Lift is delivered to provide for regular preventative maintenance by a qualified and responsible person.

LUBRICATION (every four months)

Grease ball bushings, bridge hinge pins, bridge wheels, and the screw down stabiliza tion jacks with a quality all temperature grease at the fittings outlined in the lubrication chart on pages 20 and 21. Apply sufficient grease for grease to exit both sides of each bushing, pin, or bearing. Grease Truck Bridge hinge pins, and Automatic Folding Ramp option pins and mechanical linkages if present on this Speed-Lift.

Oil control handle clevis joints and the control valve spool (at main Control Valve Handle), as indicated on lubrication charts on pages 20 and 21.

VISUAL CHECKS (every four months)

Inspect all hydraulic lines, fittings, and components for signs of hydraulic oil leakage or damage to hoses. Tighten fittings where needed. Add Automatic Transmission Fluid as required using multi-purpose ATF (Dextron III / Mercron).

Inspect all lifting arm bolts for tightness. Check safety chain, safety bar, or Automatic Folding Ramp (AFR) for proper operation, excessive wear, or damage.

Check for free Control Handle movement which, when released, instantly returns han dles to the center/off position, and tighten mounting bolts and or adjust where needed to provide proper operation. To prevent control handle bind-up or sticking do not overtighten bolts. Check remote control handle for full speed up, down, and instant off between up and down directions, adjusting clevis ends if needed.

Examine the power cord for cuts in the insulation and loose or damaged electrical plugs. Tighten plug wires if loose, or replace plug and/or wire if damaged. Check ECS By-Pass Switch for “continuous run” operation in the “ON” position, and return switch to “OFF” for normal use.

Inspect all safety related decals for clear visibility (see pages 26 through 28). Replace all missing or damaged decals immediately when noticed. Important operating instructions, cautions, warnings and information concerning potential dangers are contained on the Speed-Lift decals.
