MAINTENANCE
To avoid personal injury, permit only qualified
personnel to perform maintenance on this
equipment. Maintenance personnel should follow
lockout/ tagout instructions per ANSI Z244.1.
The following maintenance points are suggested
as the basis of a routine maintenance program.
The actual maintenance program should be
tailored to the installation. See ANSI/ALI ALOIM
booklet for periodic inspection checklist and
maintenance log sheet.
If lift stops short of full rise or chatters, check
fluid level and bleed both cylinders per
Installation Instructions.
Replace all Safety, Warning or Caution Labels if
missing or damaged (See Installation
instructions page 3.)
Daily
Keep lift components clean.
Check for loose or broken parts.
Check hydraulic system for fluid leaks.
Check adapters for damage or excessive wear.
Replace as required with genuine Challenger
Lifts parts.
Check lock release activation. When properly
adjusted, the idler column lock should rest firmly
against the back of the column when engaged
and against the spring mount tab when
disengaged.
Weekly
Check synchronizer cables and sheaves for
wear. Replace as required with genuine
Challenger Lifts parts.
Check synchronizer cable tension per Installation
Instructions. Adjust if necessary. If both threaded
ends of either cable have run out of adjustment,
then replace both cables. (Cables should always
be replaced in sets.)
Monthly
Torque concrete anchor bolts to 80 ft-lbs.
Visually inspect concrete floor for cracks and/or
spalls within 12” of base plate
Check overhead shutoff switch. While raising lift,
operate overhead shutoff bar. Power Unit motor
should stop when bar is raised.
Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy
viscous grease. (Grease all (4) corners of both
