Maintenance - Savaria Orion LU Owner's Manual

11. MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance will keep your Orion in proper operating condition. As
the owner of this elevator, you are responsible for making sure that
maintenance and upkeep are done on a regularly scheduled basis.
Elevator maintenance is recommended to be performed by an
authorized Savaria dealer every 3 months and must be performed
every 6 months. Units installed in adverse environments will require
additional maintenance on a monthly basis.
IMPORTANT: Please test the phone in your elevator during every maintenance.
If the phone is inactive, please shut down the elevator until the phone line is
active. This applies to all lifts in a hoistway or enclosure models
To ensure proper operating condition of your unit, the items listed below are
recommended to be performed every 3 months and must be performed every
6 months by an Authorized Savaria Dealer. Additional inspections may be
required depending on usage.
1 Tighten all rail and cab fastening bolts.
2 Lubricate the door hinges and adjust the door closure if required.
3 Lubricate the rails with a light grease, such as white lithium.
4 Inspect the traveling cable for wear. Replace if any cuts or damage to the
jacket is evident.
5 Inspect the elevator cables for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Always replace the safety washers at the swaged end of the cable when
replacing cables. The washers are provided with replacement cables.
6 Inspect the safety washers at the swaged end of the elevator cables. Put the
elevator on slack rope high enough so you can safely get under the elevator.
Pull the manual lowering device so there is enough slack in the rope to pull
the rope with the swag fitting down to view the washer. Replace the washer
if there is any visible damage.
7 Check for any hose/pipe leaks. Replace and/or tighten the fittings to correct
any hydraulic leaks found.
8 Check the fluid level of the pump reservoir (with the elevator at its lowest
landing), and fill as required. (Use Grade 32 Hydraulic Oil). There must be at
least 1" (25 mm) of oil on the dipstick.
9 Tighten any hose connections or bleeder valves found loose. Check the
hydraulic cylinder (jack) for any leaks. If necessary, the packing seals may
have to be replaced.
