Preventive Maintenance:
Maintenance is necessary to ensure safe and troublefree lift operation. General preventive lift maintenance consisting of careful inspections of the lift system and cleaning the lift
should be a part of your transit agency's daily lift service program. Simple inspections can detect potential lift opera- tional problems.
Regular preventive maintenance will reduce potential lift opera- tion downtime and increase the service life of the lift, as well as possibly detecting potential hazards.
Exposure to harsh weather elements, environment condi- tions, or heavy usage, etc. may require more frequent mainte- nance and lubrication procedures.
Preventive maintenance visual inspections do not take the place of the procedures speci- fied in the Maintenance and
Lubrication Schedule provided in the applicable lift installation and service manual. Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrica- tion section in this manual for further details.
WARNING
Maintenance and lubrication proce- dures must be per- formed by authorized service personnel as specified in the applicable installa- tion/service manual. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
