Maintenance - gfm GF-16 Instruction Manual

Maintenance

At yearly intervals, the spindle must be cleaned and all grease removed and replaced with
generous quantities of fresh grease (e.g. gleitmo 805, gleitmo 585M, Fa. Fuchs Lubritech
GmbH).
The lubricating nipple on the lift gear (bright green) must also be greased yearly (e.g. Mobil
grease XHP).
Wear and tear on the spindle nut must also be annually inspected. This can be done as
per in the above picture by moving the components against each other. If there is more
than 2mm of play, the spindle drive or the spindle nut must be replaced otherwise further
use is not allowed.
Attention:
When reassembling the column it should be noted that the friction should only be screwed
in so far as to allow it move up and down easily and reduce any rotation of the column.
Furthermore, when operating the column pay close attention to the ease of movement and
any changes that occur in the movement.
Attention:
Danger of crushing while tilting the column and sliding it to
check the wear and tear.
For safety reasons only original spare parts by GFM may
be used for maintenance and reparation!
