MAINTENANCE
B.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning with mild soap (i.e. hand soap, car wash liquid) and drying thoroughly will protect lift painted surfaces.
Cleaning is especially important in areas where roads are salted in winter. Make sure that lift pivot points remain clear
and clean prior to lubrication.
C.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Under normal operating conditions, maintenance inspections are required at least every six months (1750 cycles) and a
thorough inspection should be performed at service intervals referenced in Table 3-1. Service should be increased un-

TABLE 3-1: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Listen for abnormal noises as lift operates (i.e. grinding or binding noises.)
Verify that control pendant is undamaged and cable connector is tight.
Inspect electrical wiring for frayed wires, loose connectors, etc.
Place vehicle in non-interlock mode and verify that lift does not operate.
Verify that lift decals are properly affixed, clearly visible, and legible. Replace, if necessary.
Verify that handrail fasteners are properly tightened.
Verify that vehicle mounting and support points are undamaged.
Verify that mounting bolts are sufficiently tight and free of corrosion.
Verify that link pins on arms are properly installed, free from damage, and locked in position.
Verify that platform moves freely, without binding, and does not wobble.
Verify that bridgeplate operates without binding during lift functions.
Verify that bridgeplate deploys fully when platform stops at floor level.
Verify bridgeplate rests flat against baseplate.
Verify that rollstop is opened completely when platform is at ground level.
Verify that rollstop closes and locks when platform leaves ground.
Check and add fluid when platform is at ground level. Fluid that is added when platform is
raised will overflow when platform is lowered.
Verify that pump hydraulic fluid level is at FULL mark when platform is at ground level.
Add Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent U.S. mil spec H5606G fluid.
Verify there are no hydraulic fluid leaks.
Verify that manual backup pump operates properly.
1. Clean lift with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Prevent rust by coating all surfaces with
a light weight oil. Remove excess oil.
2. Spray penetrating oil (Curtisol Red Grease 88167 or WD-40) where specified follow-
ing directions on container. Remove excess grease from surrounding areas.
A Ricon authorized dealer must perform the following safety check.
