6.2
Cleaning and care of the lift
For your own safety, always switch the
system main switch (15) off and secure
it against restart before doing cleaning
or maintenance work.
A regular and expert clean helps retain the value
of the lift.
Additionally, it can also be a pre-requisiste 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, stone chips etc.
• Industrial dust of all types
• Water, also in connection with other environmen-
tal influences
• Aggressive deposits of all types
• Permanent humidity due to insufficient ventilation
• If fluid is sitting in the system grooves
The longer road dust, salt, and other aggressive
i
deposits remain caked onto the system, the
more damage they will have.
The frequency of lift cleaning depends, among oth-
er things on the frequency of use, of lift handling, of
workshop cleanliness, and the location of the lift.
Furthermore, the degree of contamination de-
pends 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 com-
mercially available detergent and luke warm wa-
ter.
Be sure that electric parts of the system, cables,
!
hoses, etc. do not come into contact with 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.
• Dry the lift with a cloth and spray it with a spray
wax or oil.
• Moving parts (bolts, bearing zones) are to be lu-
bricated or oiled according to instructions.
• When cleaning the workshop floor ensure that no
aggressive cleaning materials come into contact
with lift surfaces. Permanent contact with any
kind of liquid is prohibited. This is also true for the
fastening anchors.
Before switching on the main switch (15), care-
!
fully check that humidity has not penetrated
into powered components.
