WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
 Lifting cables should be replaced every three - five years or when visible signs of damage are apparent. DO NOT
USE LIFT WITH DEFECTIVE / WORN CABLES.
 Lifting cables should be maintained in a well-lubricated condition at all times. Wire rope is only fully protected when
each wire strand is lubricated both internal and external. Excessive wear will shorten the life of the wire rope. The factory
suggested wire rope lubricant that penetrates to the core of the rope and provides long-term lubrication between each
individual strand is 90-WT gear oil or ALMASOL® Wire Rope Lubricant. In order to make sure that the inner layers of the rope
remain well lubricated, lubrication should be carried out at intervals not exceeding three months during operation.
 All sheaves and guide rollers in contact with the moving rope should be given regular visual checks for surface wear
and lubricated to make sure that they run freely. This operation should be carried out at appropriate intervals generally not
exceeding three months during operation. For all sheave axles, the factory recommends standard wheel bearing grease.
For all sheaves and/or guide rollers, the factory recommends 90-WT gear oil or similar heavy lubricant applied by any
method including pump / spray dispensing, brush, hand and/or swabbing.
.

HOW OFTEN TO INSPECT
Lifting cables should be visually inspected at least once each day when in use, as suggested by American Petroleum
Institute (API) RP54 guidelines.
Any lifting cables that have met the criteria for removal must be immediately replaced.

WHEN TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES DUE TO BROKEN WIRES
Lifting cables should be removed from service when you see six randomly distributed broken wires within any one lay
length, or three broken wires in one strand within one lay length.

OTHER REASONS TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES
Corrosion that pits the wires and/or connectors.
Evidence of kinking, crushing, cutting, bird-caging or a popped core.
Wear that exceeds 10% of a wire’s original diameter.
Evidence of heat damage.

HOW TO FIND BROKEN WIRES
 The first step is to relax your rope to a stationary position and move the pick-up points off the sheaves. Clean the
surface of the rope with a cloth — a wire brush, if necessary — so you can see any breaks.
Flex the rope to expose any broken wires hidden in the valleys between the strands.
 Visually check for any broken wires. One way to check for crown breaks is to run a cloth along the rope to check for
possible snags.
With an awl, probe between wires and strands and lift any wires that appear loose. Evidence of internal broken wires
may require a more extensive rope examination.

Safe Lift Operation
Automotive and truck lifts are critical to the operation and profitability of your business. The safe use of this and other
lifts in your shop is critical in preventing employee injuries and damage to customer’s vehicles. By operating lifts safely
you can insure that your shop is profitable, productive and safe.
Safe operation of automotive lifts requires that only trained employees should be allowed to use the lift.
TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Proper positioning of the vehicle on the lift arms. (See manufacturers minimize wheel base loading requirements.)
Use of the operating controls.
Understanding the lift capacity.
Proper use of jack stands or other load supporting devices.
Proper use, understanding and visual identification of safety lock devices and their operation.
Reviewing the safety rules.
Proper housekeeping procedures (lift area should be free of grease, oil, tools, equipment, trash, and other debris).
A daily inspection of the lift should be completed prior to its use. Safety devices, operating controls, lift arms and
other critical parts should be inspected prior to using the lift.
All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair
parts should meet or exceed OEM specifications. Repairs should only be completed by a qualified lift technician.
The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle.
LIFT OPERATION / SAFETY
It is important that you know the load limit. Be careful that you do not overload the lift . If you are unsure what the
load limit is, check the data plate found on one of the lift columns or contact the manufacturer.
The center of gravity should be followed closely to what the manufacturer recommends.
Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments, ( vehicle signs,
campers, antennas, etc.) are not in the way.
Be sure that prior to the vehicle being raised, the doors, trunk, and hood are closed securely.
Prior to being raised, make sure there is no one standing closer than six feet from the lift.
After positioning the vehicle on the lift runways, set the emergency brake, make sure the ignition is off, the doors are
closed, overhead obstructions are cleared, and the transmission is in neutral.
Double check that the automatic chock devices are in position and then when the lift is raised, observe the chocks.
Put pads or adapters in the right position under the contact points that have been recommended.
The lift should be raised just until the vehicle’s wheels are about one foot off the ground. If contact with the vehicle is
uneven or it appears that the vehicle is not sitting secure, carefully lower the lift and readjust.
Always consider potential problems that might cause a vehicle to slip, i.e., heavy cargo, undercoating, etc.
Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is up on the hydraulic lift.

DO NOT leave the controls while the lift is still in motion.
DO NOT stand directly in front of the vehicle or in the bay when vehicle is being loaded or driven into position.
DO NOT go near vehicle or attempt to work on the vehicle when being raised or lowered.


REMAIN CLEAR of lift when raising or lowering vehicle.

DO NOT rock the vehicle while on the lift or remove any heavy component from vehicle that may cause excessive
weight shift.
DO NOT lower the vehicle until people, materials, and tools are clear
ALWAYS ENSURE that the safeties are engaged and lowered on to the safeties before any attempt is made to
work on or near vehicle.
Some vehicle maintenance and repair activities may cause the vehicle to shift. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
when performing these operations. The use of jack stands or alternate lift points may be required when completing
some repairs.
READ AND UNDERSTAND all safety warning procedures before operating lift.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when lowering.
Avoid pinch points.
ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS should operate this lift. All non-trained personnel should be kept away from work area.
Never let non-trained personnel come in contact with, or operate lift.
USE LIFT CORRECTLY. Use lift in the proper manner. Never use lifting adapters other than what is approved by the
manufacturer.
DO NOT override self-closing lift controls.
CLEAR AREA if vehicle is on danger of falling.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Be aware.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts or any condition that may
affect its operation. Do not use lift if any component is broken or damaged.
NEVER remove safety related components from the lift. Do not use lift if safety related components are damaged or
missing.
When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away.
Be sure there are no jacks, tools, equipment, left under the lift before lowering.
Always lower the vehicle down slowly and smoothly.
