Document no.: M – 01 - 03 Version: 10.03.2008
You have decided to purchase a top Slidelift. The Maxon Slidelift is very easy to use and to
maintain. It is equipped with maintenance and grease-free bearings, and does not require greasing
throughout its entire lifetime. The Maxon Slidelift is only to be used for lifting and lowering of loads,
which have to be placed on the platform in accordance with the loading diagram.
The Slidelift must only be operated, maintained and repaired by persons who have been
technically trained and who have especially been informed about the hazards that may occur
during operation. Otherwise, manufacturer's liability for resulting damages is void.
These operating instructions are valid for following lifts:
Daily verifications :
1. Function and completeness of all operating and security equipment
2. Legibility of all operating and information labels (replace if necessary)
3. Damages and completeness on bolts, bolt retainers, cracked or broken bolts and nuts
4. Damages and tightness of hoses, fittings and valves on hydraulic cylinders. Check all
hoses for leaks and tightness
5. Verify deformation of under ride device and energy absorber
6. Damages and function of platform warning lights
7. The function of the battery main switch (option) is to be checked
Recommended checks every month:
1. Check hydraulic fittings for tightness and tightening torque.
2. Check oil level.
If necessary correct with recommended oil.
3. Check wires and cables for damages.
Replace missing cable fasteners.
Correct if there are cutting and shearing risks.
4. Check hydraulic hoses for damages.
Replace missing fasteners.
Correct if there are cutting and shearing risks.
5. Check that al decals are in place and full readable.
Replace missing or damaged decals.
6. Check rubber seals at bearings.
Replace missing or damaged seals.
7. Check that all bearing pins are secured and without damage.

2. Hydraulic hoses.
Change every four years, or if damages appear.
3. Electric motors.
Check carbon brushes, and clean with compressed air.
4. Check battery voltage.
Measure acid density.
Clean cable connections at the battery.
5. Load test.
Function test with nominal load.
6. Check foot controls
If necessary renew the switch or the rubber.
7. Check mechanical components for cracks or deformation.
Any failure must be repaired immediately and any missing part is to be replaced at once!
The vehicle operator is responsible for repairs in due time of known damages
The operating instructions are to be carried in the vehicle at all times.
Annual verifications
The Slidelift is to be verified by an expert once a year after its first operation. The results of that
verification must be written down in the control book.
Battery capacity
When driving short distances, always choose higher battery capacity.
Reinforced alternators are always recommended
The operator is responsible for battery capacity and its loading condition

CONTROLES DE MANO
Hand Controls
General information
Riding on the platform
As only one person at atime is allowed to ride on the platform, the operator must ensure to avoid
any endangering of other persons (especially children) while operating the Slidelift.
Description of the security devices
Hose bursting valves
If a hose, atube or afitting should burst, the lift will lower in a controlled manner, without
exceeding the maximum allowed speed, as long as one of the functions of the hand control box is
activated. If the control is not operated any more, the lift stops immediately.
Pressure relief valve
The lift is secured against the lifting of loads which are heavier than its capacity, by an overload
security valve, set at the factory. An adjustment of this valve is allowed only by an expert, equipped
with a pressure gauge and an appropriate test load.
Electrical fuses
Defective fuses must be replaced by ones of same value, as stated on the wiring diagram.
Roll-off securities
The platform must be fitted with cart stops when using carts. The function of cart stops can be
altered through dirt. The operator must keep them clean at all times.
Warning lights
Warning lights are flashing when switching the lift on. Security equipment should always be in
perfect condition and kept clean.

ASEGURACIÓN DE CARGA
Securing the loads
Rolling and shifting loads must be secured on the platform.
On request, Maxon Slidelifts can be equipped with cart stops, securing rolling loads with the
maximum efficiency (wheels with maximum diameter 4”)
Security instructions when operating the Slidelift
Caution at loading docks
Caster diameter max. 4“ max.
Securing the loads
Secure the loads against tipping and
slipping!

CAPACIDAD
Capacity
In addition to the operating instructions, the Slidelift loading diagram is also shown on its
identification plate. The load's centre of gravity should be in the middle between the lift arms. The
greater the distance of the load from the end of the flatbed, the lower the loading capacity.
The maximum loading capacity specified in the loading diagram must not be exceeded. The
platform may not be used as a bridge plate.

8
CARGA DEL CAMIÓN
Loading from the truck or trailer onto the platform
It is not possible to protect the Slidelift against loads brought from the vehicle tothe platform, that
are heavier than its rated capacity, nor against loads which are brought onto the platform at the
wrong loading distance. An overload can lead to heavy damage (breaking) of the platform.
The operator is responsible for loading the Slidelift according to the loading diagram.

CARGA DEL CAMIÓN
Do not use a forklift.
Only when the Slidelift is retractet under the vehicle.
Despite the kind ofloading performed, the vehicle has to be secured
against unintentional movement (use hand breakes or wedges)

During load transfer, do not use the platform as a bridge plate.
Service, maintenance, verification and repair
Before starting any maintenance work, the Slidelift must be secured against unforeseen
movement.
Check that all screw connections are tight. Check that cables and hoses are able to move freely.
Correct shearing and chafing points on cables and hoses. Immediately replace damaged hydraulic
hoses with ones of the same quality. Note down the replacement in the control book.
During cleaning it should be ensured that no moisture penetrates the power pack or the control
box. The bearing areas should not be cleaned with high pressure or steam jets, as this may allow
dirt and moisture to penetrate into the bearing.Check all hydraulics for leaks. With the Slidelift
platform completely lowered, check the oil level in the unit's tank (dipstick on the oil filler neck
cover). If necessary, top up with hydraulic oil of class HLPD 22 (temperature range 5°F to +122°F).
The maximum oil level has been reached when the dipstick dips 3/8 “ into the oil.
Carry out an annual oil change and clean the suction filter. Carry out the oil change before any
period of frost, in order to prevent the hydraulic unit from freezing up.

Disconnect the cable to the battery plus, or disconnect using battery main switch. In case of an
emergency please contact the nearest authorized service dealer or our customers service.
Total failure when slid out
If you perform an emergency lifting of the platform and/or an in- or outsliding of the Slidelift by hand
or with mechanical help, the cylinders are filled with air. All security valves are then out of function.
This leads to immediate accident and life danger, as the lift can fall on the ground totally
uncontrolled. In a case like this, the lift must be secured with ropes or chains and must be marked
with a clear sign such as :
Caution ! Life danger ! The Slidelift is unsecured and must be operated
only by trained personnel !
Operation failure
In case of failure, please contact our customers service or the next authorized service dealer. We
will provide an up-to-date list of service dealers on request
