Maintenance and Lubrication Schedule
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe, trouble free 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 procedures speci- fied in the following schedule must be performed by a Braun authorized service representative 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
following the scheduled “4500 Cycles” mainte- nance. These intervals are a general guideline for scheduling mainte- nance procedures and will vary according to lift use and conditions. Lifts exposed to severe condi- tions (weather, environ- ment, contamination, heavy usage, etc.) may require inspection and maintenance procedures to be performed more often than specified.
WARNING
Maintenance and lubrication procedures must be performed 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 intervals, inspection and lubrication procedures specified in the previous sections should be repeated. Clean the com- ponents and the surrounding area before applying lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use of im- proper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants which could result in wear or damage to the compo- nents. Platform components exposed to contaminants when lowered to the ground may require extra atten- tion. Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during assembly procedures. When replacing these components, be sure to apply grease during instal- lation procedures. Specified lubricants are available from The Braun Corporation (part numbers provided on previous page).
All listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance pro- cedures should be repeated at “750 cycle” intervals

Once the lift has been serviced, press the CYCLE button (located below LCD display on the control board) until the Lift Ready LED changes back to green. The CYCLE button also clears the lift cycle count (since last service) but not the lifetime cycle count.
Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and lubrication procedures are not properly performed, or if there is any sign of wear, damage or improper operation. Contact your sales representative or call The Braun Corporation at
