All Oxford products are designed for minimum maintenance, however some safety checks and
procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks are detailed below. Daily checks, a bi-annual
thorough examination and an annual service and test will ensure a lift is kept in optimum safe working
condition. A list of spare parts is available upon request.
The LOAD TEST and certification should only be carried out by qualified personnel or an authorised
service agent / dealer.

a daily basis and before using lift.
• ENSURE the lift moves freely on its castors.
• MAKE SURE the 6-point cradle is free to rotate and swing
• EXAMINE & CHECK that the 6-point cradle is firmly attached to the boom.
• EXAMINE the sling hooks/clips on the 6-point cradle for damage and/or excessive wear.
• ENSURE the legs open and close correctly and lock in all open and closed positions.
• OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
• ENSURE the control box display panel DOES NOT have a spanner symbol illuminated and no
audible beep can be heard when depressing raise/lower buttons.
• CHECK the operation of the emergency stop button.
• EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged or if the sling
shows signs of wear.
• CONFIRM the lift is not sounding a low battery alarm when the hand control is operated. If the
alarm sounds, DO NOT use, and place on charge immediately.
• MAKE SURE the actuator connection points are secure.
• VISUALLY INSPECT all fixings and fasteners and ensure they are secure prior to use.
