Maintenance and Lubrication

Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe, troublefree operation. Inspecting the lift for any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions should be a part of all transit agencies’s daily service program. Simple inspections can detect potential problems. The maintenance and lubrication proce- dures speciﬁed in the following schedule must be performed by a Braun authorized service represen- tative at the scheduled intervals according to the number of cycles. NHTSA NUVL Series lifts are equipped with a cycle counter (digital display built into the electronic control board).

NUVL Series lifts are equipped with hardened pins and self-lubricating bushings to decrease wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service life of the lift.

pose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants which could result in wear or damage to the components. Platform components exposed to contami- nants when lowered to the ground may require extra atten- tion.

WARNING

Maintenance and lubrication proce- dures must be per- formed as speciﬁed by an authorized service technician. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

When servicing the lift at the recommended inter- vals, inspection and lubrication procedures speci- ﬁed in the previous sections should be repeated. Clean the components and the surrounding area before applying lubricants. LPS2 General Pur-

Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during assembly procedures. When these compo- nents are replaced, grease must be applied during installation procedures. Speciﬁed lubricants are available from The Braun Corporation (part num- bers provided on page 41).
