Lubrication

Surfaces that require lubrication during maintenance are stipulated in the handbook. When you use a
grease other than that recommended by Handicare the mixture of the 2 grease types may result in inferior
lubrication and hence extra wear.
During installation and maintenance it is always necessary to
check if moving parts operate smoothly. If they don't this may
cause damage to the lift.
As most parts of a stairlift rotate or move slowly, grease is
preferable to oil. Also oil might start dripping and pollute the stairs.
The effectiveness of the grease is 5 years under normal conditions.
When grease is applied during servicing it is preferable to remove
the old grease first so that any dirt present is also removed.
