Cleaning
Sand and other debris may build up on the platform of the Mobilift and affect the bridge ramp
operation. The aluminum main platform should be cleaned with pressurized air or water on a
regular basis.
Lubrication
There are no parts on the Mobilift that require lubrication. Wheel bearings and pulley
bearings are sealed and do not require lubricating. Lubrication can damage some components.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the brakes be cleaned with solvents or lubricated
with any products. The brakes may squeal occasionally as the lift is being cranked, in the same
way that automobile brakes squeal. This is normal.
Serial Numbers
The serial numbers for the lifts are on the lower left rear of the lift’s frame. This serial number
should be used in recording all maintenance inspection and work. It must also be given when
ordering parts.
Wheels
Tire Pressure
Check that the tires are inflated to the pressure specified on the tire’s sidewall on a regular basis.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are sealed and do not require any lubrication
Spare Tire
In the event that the spare tire is required, the following procedure should be followed.
1) Crank the lift down off of its wheels. Continue cranking until the tires are clear of the
ground.
2) Remove the spare tire by pulling off the retaining pin and sliding the wheel off the
mounting axle.
3) Disengage the parking brake on the tire being changed by pulling down on the push handle.
4) Remove the retaining pin and extract the axle from the tire to be changed.
5) Remove the tire and replace it with the spare tire. Reinsert the axle and retaining pin.
6) Have the tire serviced immediately and reinstall on the lift so that a spare tire is available.
Tire Replacement
Should the tires become excessively worn or weathered, replacement tires (size 4.80/4.00-8 or
K-301M-023) can be obtained from any tire supplier. It is recommended that a tube be used
even with tubeless tires for additional reliability. The Mobilift AX / AXR is delivered with
special valve stem caps that provide additional sealing reliability. These should be replaced
with any new tires.
