  6. Do not permit electric motor to get wet! Motor damage caused by dampness is not covered under warranty

NEVER LIFT ANY VEHICLE IN ANY MANNER WITH LESS THAN ALL FOUR (4) ARMS. THE RATED CAPACITY OF EACH LIFT ARM IS NO GREATER THAN ONE-FOURTH (1/4) OF THE OVERALL LIFT CAPACITY.

WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

  • Lifting cables should be replaced every three – five years or when visible signs of damage are apparent. DO NOT USE LIFT WITH DEFECTIVE / WORN CABLES.
  • Lifting cables should be maintained in a well-lubricated condition at all times. Wire rope is only fully protected when each wire strand is lubricated both internal and external. Excessive wear will shorten the life of the wire rope. The factory suggested wire rope lubricant that penetrates to the core of the rope and provides long-term lubrication between each strand is 90-WT gear oil Wire Rope Lubricant. To make sure that the inner layers of the rope remain well lubricated, lubrication should be carried out at intervals not exceeding three months during operation.
  • All sheaves and guide rollers in contact with the moving rope should be given regular visual checks for surface wear and lubricated to make sure that they run freely. This operation should be carried out at appropriate intervals generally not exceeding three months during operation. For all sheave axles, the factory recommends standard wheel bearing grease.

For all sheaves and/or guide rollers, the factory recommends 90-WT gear oil or similar heavy lubricant applied by any method including pump/spray dispensing, brush, hand and/or swabbing.

HOW OFTEN TO INSPECT

  • Lifting cables should be visually inspected at least once each day when in use, as suggested by American Petroleum Institute (API) RP54 guidelines.
  • Any lifting cables that have met the criteria for removal must be immediately replaced.

WHEN TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES DUE TO BROKEN WIRES

  • Lifting cables should be removed from service when you see six randomly distributed broken wires within any one lay length or three broken wires in one strand within one lay length.

Olympic-Equipment-2PBP-8-Low-Rise-Base-Plate-Lift-Fig-
\(39\)

OTHER REASONS TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES

  • Corrosion that pits the wires and/or connectors.
  • Evidence of kinking, crushing, cutting, bird-caging, or a popped core.
  • Wear that exceeds 10% of a wire’s original diameter.
  • Evidence of heat damage.

HOW TO FIND BROKEN WIRES

  • The first step is to relax your rope to a stationary position and move the pick-up points off the sheaves.
  • Clean the surface of the rope with a cloth — a wire brush, if necessary — so you can see any breaks.
  • Flex the rope to expose any broken wires hidden in the valleys between the strands.
  • Visually check for any broken wires. One way to check for crown breaks is to run a cloth along the rope to check for possible snags.
  • With an awl, probe between wires and strands and lift any wires that appear loose. Evidence of internal broken wires may require a more extensive rope examination.

Safe Lift Operation

  • Automotive and truck lifts are critical to the operation and profitability of your business. The safe use of this and other lifts in your shop is critical in preventing employee injuries and damage to customer’s vehicles. By operating lifts safely you can ensure that your shop is profitable, productive, and safe.
  • The safe operation of automotive lifts requires that only trained employees should be allowed to use the lift.

TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Proper positioning of the vehicle on the lift arms. (See manufacturers minimize wheelbase loading requirements.)
  • Use of the operating controls.
  • Understanding the lift capacity.
  • Proper use of jack stands or other load-supporting devices.
  • Proper use, understanding, and visual identification of safety lock devices and their operation.
  • Reviewing the safety rules.
  • Proper housekeeping procedures (lift area should be free of grease, oil, tools, equipment, trash, and other debris).
  • A daily inspection of the lift should be completed before its use. Safety devices, operating controls, lift arms and other critical parts should be inspected before using the lift.
  • All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair parts should meet or exceed OEM specifications. Repairs should only be completed by a qualified lift technician.
  • The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle

LIFT OPERATION/SAFETY

  • You must know the load limit. Be careful that you do not overload the lift. If you are unsure what the load limit is, check the data plate found on one of the lift columns or contact the manufacturer.
  • The center of gravity should be followed closely by what the manufacturer recommends.
  • Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments, ( vehicle signs, campers, antennas, etc.) are not in the way.
  • Be sure that before the vehicle is raised, the doors, trunk, and hood are closed securely.
  • Before being raised, make sure there is no one standing closer than six feet from the lift.
  • After positioning the vehicle on the lift runways, set the emergency brake, make sure the ignition is off, the doors are closed, overhead obstructions are cleared, and the transmission is in neutral.
  • Double-check that the automatic chock devices are in position and then when the lift is raised, observe the chocks.
  • Put pads or adapters in the right position under the contact points that have been recommended.
  • The lift should be raised just until the vehicle’s wheels are about one foot off the ground. If contact with the vehicle is uneven or it appears that the vehicle is not sitting securely, carefully lower the lift and readjust.
  • Always consider potential problems that might cause a vehicle to slip, i.e., heavy cargo, undercoating, etc.
  • Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is up on the hydraulic lift.

DANGER:

  • DO NOT leave the controls while the lift is still in motion.

  • REMAIN CLEAR of the lift when raising or lowering the vehicle.
  • DO NOT rock the vehicle while on the lift or remove any heavy component from a vehicle that may cause excessive weight shift.
  • DO NOT lower the vehicle until people, materials, and tools are clear
  • ALWAYS ENSURE that the safeties are engaged and lowered on to the safeties before any attempt is made to work on or near the vehicle.
  • Some vehicle maintenance and repair activities may cause the vehicle to shift. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when performing these operations. The use of jack stands or alternate lift points may be required when completing some repairs.
  • READ AND UNDERSTAND all safety warning procedures before operating the lift.
  • KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when lowering. Avoid pinch points.
  • ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS should operate this lift. All non-trained personnel should be kept away from the work area. Never let non-trained personnel come in contact with, or operate lift.
  • USE LIFT CORRECTLY. Properly use the lift. Never use lifting adapters other than what is approved by the manufacturer.
  • DO NOT override self-closing lift controls.
  • CLEAR AREA if the vehicle is in danger of falling.
  • STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Be aware.
  • CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any condition that may affect its operation. Do not use a lift if any component is broken or damaged.
  • NEVER remove safety-related components from the lift. Do not use a lift if safety-related components are damaged or missing.
  • When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away.
