Maintenance SCHEDULED SERVICE C HECKS Daily/Weekly Service Checks Perform the following daily/weekly service checks as listed in Table 4 Table 4-1. Daily /Weekly Service Chec aily Service Check before use Weekly Ensure Operation Manual is located in manual tube. Check chain assemblies for split leaves, loose pins, excessive wear, or elongation.
XLT-1571AC Monthly Service Checks Perform the following monthly service checks as listed in Table 4-2. Table 4-2. Monthly Service Checks Every Every Every Every Service Check month 6 months 12 months 48 months Check hydraulic raise valve operation. Check operation of manual emergency lowering valve.
4 — MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION Lubrication makes operation of the Cougar Lift more efficient and extends the life of the unit. Perform the following lubrication procedures. Oil lift chains with clean 40W oil weekly or as needed. Refer to Figure 4-1. LIFT CHAINS LIFT...
XLT-1571AC Grease all caster axles and swivel raceways at the 2 grease fittings on each caster semiannually with wheel bearing grease. Refer to Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2. Caster Lubrication NOTE: The plastic slide blocks in the mast are made of a bearing material which has a high degree of lubricity and need only be kept clean.
4 — MAINTENANCE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Hydraulic system maintenance varies by the amount of use and the environment in which the lift is used. Constant attention to keep the oil clean and the reservoir properly filled will help prevent possible damage to the system. Hydraulic System Inspection Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage daily.
XLT-1571AC Pressure Relief Valve Reset Perform the following procedure to reset the pressure relief valve. Refer to Figure 4-3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the main pressure port. Install a 4000 psi gauge into the main pressure port in the pump unit. CAUTION Do not adjust the pressure relief valve higher than 2100 psi.
4 — MAINTENANCE Flow Restrictor Valve Replacement If the flow restrictor valve Figure 4-4 needs to be removed or replaced, it is important that it be properly reinstalled. The valve will be marked either with an arrow or with the word “IN”.
XLT-1571AC Raise Valve Operation Check The raise valve is a normally open (N.O.) valve in the hydraulic system. Perform the fol- lowing procedures to check the operation of the raise valve. Disconnect the black and yellow wires from the solenoid, to the valve at the wire connector, Figure 4-5.

Place gland nut (3) complete with a new gland nut seal (4), rod wiper (2), and o- ring (5) onto the cylinder and tighten down. Reinstall the hydraulic cylinder into the unit and reconnect the hydraulic hose.
4 — MAINTENANCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the electrical system in proper working order. Check daily all electrical wires for cuts, broken wires, potential short circuits, and any other damage. 4-11...
XLT-1571AC LIFT CHAINS AND SLIDE BLOCKS WARNING Do not operate a unit on which any chain assembly is damaged or in need of re- placement. Operating a unit with a damaged chain can cause severe injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment. Inspect all lift chains daily.
4 — MAINTENANCE Lift Chain Adjustment Raise the platform to the maximum extended height and then lower it while someone checks to see that all sheaves are turning and checks for chain damage or wear. After the platform is completely lowered, remove the plexiglass cover from the base.
XLT-1571AC Slide Block Adjustment Annually check for wear on the slide blocks and replace or retighten as necessary. If the lift exhibits excessive mast sway, it is probable that the slide blocks need adjustment. The slide blocks should be adjusted so that there is no air gap between the slide block and the mast the slide block is moving against.
