8. Maintenance
!Work on electrical equipment is only to be per-
formed by persons with sufficient knowledge and
experience of electrical systems.
8.1 Important notes on maintenance
!Before starting maintenance work under raised lift-
ing platform components, these are to be secured to
prevent unintentional movement.
!In the event of breakage of a loadbearing compo-
nent, the loadbearing structures and drive system
including the safety devices are to be examined to
prevent falling or lowering of the loadbearing ele-
ment. Damaged parts are to be replaced.
iThe replacement of suspension cables is to be re-
corded in the test log book.
8.2 Cleaning
!The lifting platform safety devices are not to be
replaced or bypassed during cleaning.
!Always raise the lifting platform when cleaning the
floor area with detergent.
The lifting platform is only to be cleaned using water
containing a small quantity of neutral or slightly alka-
line detergent. The water temperature must not exceed
25 °C. The components can be wiped with soft cloths
or sponges. Rinse components with clean water after
cleaning.
!Never use cleaning agents which corrode paintwork,
coatings or sealing materials:
RNo solvents (esters, ketones, alcohols, halogenated
hydrocarbons)
RNo abrasive cleaning agents (scouring powder)
RNo acidic or highly alkaline cleaning agents
!Never clean the lifting platform with high-pressure or
steam cleaners.
iA preservative agent (e.g. commercially available
transparent cavity sealant) provides extra protection
for the coating. This should be applied in all areas
with exposed edges or where moisture may ingress.
This does not apply to the top edge of the runway.
