8.2 WIRE ROPES Wire ropes are critical to safe and reliable performance of your lift. Cables are expendable items and should be replaced as a set. 8.2.1 WIRE ROPE CONDITIONS GUIDE Typical good cable Cable with necking Broken wires Excessive wear of wires Corrugated sheave groove Rust on sheave stack and ropes Figure 15 27 of 44...
8.2.2 W IRE ROPE REPLACEMENT CRITERIA: If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set, pulleys and safety rollers must be replaced immediately. See 8.2.1, cable conditions guide. In the following table, "lay" means the distance measured along a line parallel to the axis of the rope in which the strand makes one complete turn about the axis of the rope, or the wires make a complete turn about the axis of the strand. The wire rope must be removed from service if one or more of the following criteria are met: 1. More than six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay or 6d length. 2. More than three broken wires in one strand in one rope lay or 6d length. 3. Three or more broken wires at rope terminations. 4. One outer wire broken at the point of contact with the core of the rope which has worked its way out of the rope structure and protrudes or loops out from the rope structure 5. Heavy rusting, corrosion, or pitting. A light surface corrosion on outer wires is normal. 6. Wear or scraping of one‐third of the original diameter of outside individual wires 7. Excessive stretch. It is normal for new cable to require adjustment during “break‐in”, after which small periodic adjustments may be required. However, if a cable that has been in service for 6 months should suddenly require frequent adjustments or has used all the cable ...
Wire rope tension adjustment should be performed when installing the lift and every three months. 8.2.6 INSPECT CABLE FLANGE Make sure the edges of the counter‐bores in the cable flange are not damaged or worn, indicating that cable sleeves may not be properly seated at all times. 8.3 FASTENERS Check all the attaching bolts and nuts for tightness. Note: Air cylinder bolts and nuts should allow movement of the cylinder. 8.4 SHEAVES AND PINS Sheaves and pins are expendable items. Sheaves and pins should be replaced when worn. Use of sheaves and pins with excessive wear will lead to reduced service life of the cables. Bushings inside sheaves work best in “dry” condition. Applying oil will diminish their performance and greases will degrade performance even further. DO NOT GREASE SHEAVE BUSHINGS OR SHAFTS. 8.4.1 VISUAL INSPECTION OF SHEAVES Check sheaves and replace if cracks or other damage are found. Visually inspect alignment of sheaves. Misalignment of sheaves indicates excessive wear. Remove, inspect, and, if needed replace sheave and pin. 8.4.2 MEASURE SHEAVE WEAR Inspect sheaves in cross‐members with lift in lowered position and resting on safety latches Place safety stands under front and rear cross‐members. Stop lift on mechanical safety locks. One person should hold the lowering handle on power unit down while another person pulls on cables in each column to create slack in cables. Check for ease of rotation. If sheaves do not turn freely, the sheave and sheave pin should be removed, inspected, fixed or replaced. Fully raise the lift, to inspect sheaves in runways. Hold lowering handle down to lower lift onto safety latches ...

Clean or further inspect if needed. 8.13.2 CLEAN REAR SLIP PLATES AND FRONT TURN TABLES Clean foreign debris from front turn tables and rear slip plates by blowing out with compressed air. Check and clean steer plates. Lubricate with oil or light grease. 8.13.3 MAINTENANCE OF REAR STEER PLATES Inspect the non‐skid coating on rear slip plates for wear. All areas found to be worn smooth should be resurfaced with an Anti‐Slip abrasive floor tread tape or a heavy duty Anti‐Slip Floor Coating. Remove rear slip plate covers. Clean runway surface and touch up any paint wear with a rust resistant paint. Allow paint to dry thoroughly. Inspect transfer balls for excessive wear, deformations or corrosion. Inspect plastic pads (pucks) for excessive wear or deformation. Replace if needed. 8.13.4 MAINTENANCE OF REAR STEER PLATES ‐ IF EQUIPPED WITH PLASTIC BEARING CAGE. Remove top Slip Plate covers by first removing the four (4) shoulder bolts on each cover. Remove polyethylene‐bearing cages insuring that all the Delrin bearings remain in the cages. Additional Delrin bearings may be purchased if required. Clean runway surface and touch up any paint wear with a rust resistant paint. Allow paint to dry thoroughly. To obtain optimum performance, the position of the slip‐plate bearing cage should be rotated every quarter to change the wear pattern. With the first quarter maintenance, flip the bearing cage over to the opposite side. With the second quarter maintenance, rotate the bearing cage end‐to‐end. ...
8.14 ROLLING AIR JACKS Lubricate roller bearings and roller guide springs. Dismantle and clean lift arms. Clean and lubricate rollers/sliders and hinge points. Clean and lubricate safety mechanism. Change hydraulic oil every two years 8.15 ENTIRE LIFT Wire ropes, columns, runways and other lift parts should be kept free of corrosive agents, solvents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift component, immediately rinse thoroughly with water and wipe down with a clean rag. Lubricate again wire rope as shown at 8.2.4. Check general operation of lift. Observe any structural noise, imbalance, binding, or other malfunctions.
