Periodic check-up/ maintenance

Inspect the tail lift weekly to:

• Checking the identification sticker, safety stickers, and other safety features (center of gravity marking, etc.).
• Ensure that the control switches of the external control and additional control return smoothly to the neutral position.
• Check the covers of the control box and the hydraulic unit; are they still present and undamaged?
• Clean the tail lift. (Note! During the first 6 weeks after installation, the tail lift should not be cleaned with a high-pressure washer because it removes the grease. After cleaning with a high-pressure washer, greasing of all lubrication points is necessary, see lubrication plan.)

Minor service

Inspect the tail lift quartely to:

• Check the hoses and replace them immediately if there are hairline cracks; the cause is often drying out of the external layer.
• Check and replace the filter if necessary.
• Check the wiring.
• Check for oil leaks.
• Check the mechanical parts, play in pins and bushings.
• Clean and lubricate the tail lift thoroughly.

Major service

Inspect the tail lift annually to:

• Change the oil and flush the hydraulic system.
• Check the hoses for drying out and small hairline cracks; replace them immediately if deviations are found.
• Replace the oil filters.
• Check the electrical system such as wiring, batteries, fuses, and contact points.
• Check the mechanical system (play in pins and bushings). Thoroughly lubricate the tail lift after cleaning.
