b) Lubrication (refer to Fig 4)
Lubricate all pivot points. Ensure all surplus of lubricant is removed from surface.
c) Chassis Assembly
There is no maintenance of either the castors or brakes, other than cleaning, lubrication and checking axle
and swivel bolts for tightness.
Remove all debris, fluff etc ... from the wheel and swivel bearings.
Regrease as shown on lubrication chart.
If the tyres, bearings or general condition require any further attention, it is recommended new parts are
fitted - refer to spare parts document.
d) Chassis Adjustment Mechanism
The chassis adjustment should not require any attention other than to check the squareness of the legs
when set to narrow and to adjust the Ackerman linkage rods if necessary.
Check the free movement of the linkage rods and tighten or lubricate if necessary.
Check the response of the leg adjustment foot pedal when you press it with the foot. There should be
some resistance to prevent the legs from opening or closing accidentally, but there should be sufficient free
movement of the mechanism to operate satisfactorily in either direction when the pedals are fully pressed
down. Any irregularity can be corrected as follows:
1. From the pedal swivel bracket, remove the nut cap.
2. Remove the locking pin from the castellated nut.
3. To correct sluggishness in the foot pedals, tighten the nut.
4. To correct excessive stiffness in the foot pedal response, slacken the nut slightly.
5. Refit locking pin to castellated nut.
6. Replace nut cap.
e) Wear or Damage
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO INSPECT AT REGULAR INTERVALS ALL STRESSED PARTS, SUCH AS SLINGS,
SPREADER BAR AND ALL PIVOT POINTS FOR FOR ANY SIGNS OF FRAYING, CRACKING,
DEFORMATION OR DETERIORATION. ANY DEFECTIVE PARTS MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY
AND THE LIFTER MUST NOT BE USED UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED.
f) Cleaning
Slings should be washed regularly in accordance with the washing instruction label. The lifter structure can
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleansing cream. It is also recommended to remove the mast assembly
from the chassis and to clean and coat the mating surfaces of mast and mounting socket with vaseline
before re-assembly.
