Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance is necessary to ensure safe and trouble-free lift operation. General preventive maintenance consisting of inspections of your lift system and cleaning the lift should be a part of your routine. When cleaning the lift, pay special attention to the roll stop opening, platform surface and bottom of platform. If mud, ice and/or snow build-up is apparent on platform surface, clean the area prior to use. Do not spray water inside of lift housing.

The lift-equipped vehicle should be stored in a garage or other sheltered place if possible, especially during inclement weather conditions. When the lift is not in use, the lift should be in the stowed position to keep foreign objects, rain, ice, snow, etc., from entering through the lift

opening or building up on the platform surface.

The UVL has been designed with many self-lubricating compo- nents. Lubricate the pivot points specified below approximately every four weeks (or 100 cycles) with a light penetrating type oil

(30 weight or equivalent). Severe conditions (weather, environment, heavy usage, etc.) may require more frequent lubrication.

Complete maintenance checks and lubrication procedures must be performed annually by an authorized Braun Corporation sale representative who has attended and been certified by the Braun UVL Sales and Service School. If the annual maintenance and lubrication procedures cannot be performed, or if there is any sign of lift
