The PONYBENCH-B does not require any particular
maintenancebecause the pins and sliding surfaces operate
on long-life self-lubricatingbushes.You are nevertheless
advised to constantly monitor the lift and takeimmediate
action whenever faults, unusual wear or breakage occur.
8.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure the effi ciency of the PONYBENCH-B lift
and its correct operation, the observance of the instructions
below is indispensable and the routine cleaning and
maintenance described must be regularly performed to
guarantee the best operation and use.
All cleaning and routine maintenance operations must be
performed exclusively by authorised personnel observing
the instructions provided below in conditions of complete
safety.
CAUTION!
The frequencies of the various
maintenance operations listed below are a
guide and refer to normal operating conditions.
Conditions can vary in relation to the type of
service, frequency of use and the surrounding
conditions
in
lift is used. If the lift is used in heavy duty
conditions, maintenance must be increased.
When topping up thelevel, changing the oil
or greasing, always use the same type of
lubricant previously used. The grease points
must be thoroughly cleaned with compressed
air before lubrication to prevent dust, dirt or
foreign bodies mixing with the lubricant.
ONCE A DAY:
•
Before starting work, check the operation of the
emergency stop button (Ponybench BEPLUS only).
•
Check the correct operation of the microswitch that
stops the lift at the fi rst section of descent by running
an ascent-descent cycle.
•
Make sure that there is no leakage of oil from the lift
jack and connection pipes (contact your local dealer
whenever leakage is observed).
ONCE A WEEK:
•
Grease the safety hook's sliding and hinging points
through the greaser provided on the hook itself.
•
Check the oil level in the control unit tank: it must be
near the fi lling/inspection plug.
If necessary, top up the tank with hydraulic oil (such as
ESSO NUTO H 46 for the PONYBENCH BEPLUS and ISO
15 for the PONYBENCH BPPLUS) via the fi lling/inspection
plug hole. For this operation you are always advised to use
the same type of oil.
If you wish to use oil of the same type but a different brand,
you are advised to wait until the oil change.
CAUTION! When topping up the level, changing
the oil or greasing, always use the same type
of lubricant previously used. The grease points
must be thoroughly cleaned with compressed
