The following section describes the service and maintenance requirements of the Sidelifter. All components must be checked regularly for proper functioning and adjustments made only if necessary. Before the Sidelifter left the factory, every valve in the hydraulic system was thoroughly tested and properly adjusted and the complete unit was test operated at full lifting capacity. A duly competent person must carry out all servicing and any subsequent adjustments.
When using a steam cleaner or water blaster on the Sidelifter, avoid cleaning near hydraulic cylinder shafts or near any electrical connections (such as the control valve, control boxes, junction boxes, switches and sensors). While these items are fully water proofed, they will not tolerate hot steam cleaning or water blast jets.
