Maintenance and Lubrication Schedule

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 procedures specified in this schedule must be performed by a Braun autho- rized service representative at the scheduled intervals according to the number of cycles.

Braun dual parallel arm lifts are equipped with hard- ened pins and self-lubricating bushings to decrease wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service life of the lift.

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 conditions (weather, envi- ronment, 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 components and the surrounding area before apply- ing lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose 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 contaminants when lowered to the ground may require extra attention.

Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during assembly procedures. When these components are replaced, grease must be applied during installation procedures. Specified lubricants are available from The Braun Corporation (part numbers provided above).

All listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance procedures should be repeated at “750 cycle” intervals

Maintenance Indicator: The Lift Ready green LED mounted on top of the pump cover will begin to blink after every 750 cycles. The blinking LED will not affect the functions of the lift, but is a reminder to complete necessary maintenance and lubrication.

Once the lift has been serviced, fully stow the lift. Once stowed, press the UP button on the hand pendant and the Floor Level Set button on the back side of the pump cover until the Lift Ready green LED stops blinking.

Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and lubrication procedures are not properly performed, or if there is any sign of wear, damage or improper opera- tion. Contact your sales representative or call The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT®. One of our national Product Support representatives will direct you to an authorized service technician who will inspect your lift.
