  Wheel bearings are sealed and do not require any lubrication  

In the event that the spare tire is required, the following procedure should be followed. 
a)  Crank the lift down off of its wheels. Continue cranking until the tires are clear of the ground. 
b)  The spare tire can be removed from its mount by removing the retaining pin and sliding it 

off of the mounting axle. 

c)  Disengage the parking brake on the tire being changed by pulling down on the push handle. 
d)  Remove the retaining pin and extract the axle from the tire to be changed.  Remove the tire 

and replace it with the spare tire.  Reinsert the axle and retaining pin. 

e)  Have the tire serviced immediately and reinstall on the lift so that a spare tire is available. 

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. 

The adjustments covered in this section refer only to those items where parts are not required.  If new 
parts are to be installed, the parts will be supplied by the manufacturer with detailed instructions on 
installation and adjustment.  If the lift has been vandalized or damaged such that welding or machining 
is required, it must be carried out by qualified trades people, who should also refer to the manufacturer's 
literature and discuss the repairs with the manufacturer. 

As illustrated, the lifting cables [22] go from the main winding drum [32] up through the top of 
the drive shroud over the upper lift pulleys [39], then down under the deck.  These four cables 
are critical because each supports

 the load of the lift.  If the inspection indicates need for 

adjustment, contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions. 

If the inspection indicates that the deck is not level or that the paralleling cables require 
adjustment, contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions. 

The parking brakes are an important safety feature of the lift.  They hold in the "off" position to 
move the lift, when the push handles are released the brakes apply automatically.  The brakes 
can also be released by pulling down the tow bar [20]. 
Adjust the brake cables so that they are tight enough to pull the brake cylinder clear of the tire 
but are slack when the push handles and the tow bar are in the upper (braking) position. 
 
If the brakes do not release, or drag when the push handles or tow bar are down, the cables
