7.2 Cleaning the lift
A regular and expert clean helps retain the value of the lift.
Additionally, it can also be a pre-requisite for the preservation of guarantee claims for any
eventual corrosion damage.
The best protection for the lift is regular removal of contaminants of any kind.
- This includes above all:
•
de-icing salt
•
sand, pebbles, earth
•
industrial dust of all types
•
Water, also in connection with other environmental influences
•
Aggressive deposits of all types
•
Permanent humidity due to insufficient ventilation
The frequency of lift cleaning depends, among other things on the frequency of use, of lift
handling, of workshop cleanliness, and the location of the lift. Furthermore, the degree of
contamination depends on the time of year, the weather conditions and workshop ventilation.
Under adverse circumstances, weekly lift cleaning might be required, however a monthly
cleaning may be sufficient.
Do not use and aggressive and abrasive materials for cleaning, rather use mild cleaners, e.g. a
commercially available detergent and luke warm water.
-
For cleaning, do not use high pressure washers (e.g. steam cleaners).
-
Carefully remove all contamination with a sponge, or if required with a brush.
-
Make sure that there is no residue of the cleaner on the lift.
-
After cleaning, dry the lift with a cloth and spray it with a spray wax or oil.
