Braun 5 Manual De Usuario

Page 3

Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe, 

troublefree operation.  Inspecting the lift for any wear, 

damage or other abnormal conditions should be a part 

of all transit agencies’s daily service program.  Simple 

inspections can detect potential problems.  

The maintenance and lubrication procedures specified 

in this schedule must be performed by a Braun autho-

rized service representative at the scheduled intervals 

according to the number of cycles.  

Braun dual parallel arm lifts are equipped with hard-

ened pins and self-lubricating bushings to decrease 

wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service 

life of the lift.      

When servicing the lift at the recommended intervals, 

inspection and lubrication procedures specified in 

the previous sections should be repeated.  Clean the 

components and the surrounding area before apply-

ing lubricants.  LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating 

Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out.  

Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other 

contaminants which could result in wear or damage 

to the components.  Platform components exposed to 

contaminants when lowered to the ground may require 

extra attention. 

Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during 

assembly  procedures.  When these components are 

replaced, grease must be applied during installation 

procedures.  Specified lubricants are available from 

The Braun Corporation (part numbers provided above).

All listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance 

procedures should be repeated at “750 cycle” intervals 

following the scheduled 

“4500 Cycles” mainte-

nance.  These intervals 

are a general guideline 

for scheduling mainte-

nance procedures and 

will vary according to 

lift use and conditions.  

Lifts exposed to severe 

conditions (weather, envi-

ronment, contamination, 

heavy usage, etc.) may 

require inspection and 

maintenance procedures 

to be performed more 

often than specified. 

Maintenance Indicator:  The Lift Ready green LED 

mounted on top of the pump cover will begin to blink 

after every 750 cycles.  The blinking LED will not affect 

the functions of the lift, but is a reminder to complete 

necessary maintenance and lubrication.

Once the lift has been serviced, fully stow the lift.  Once 

stowed, press the UP button on the hand pendant and 

the Floor Level Set button on the back side of the pump 

cover until the Lift Ready green LED stops blinking. 

Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and 

lubrication procedures are not properly performed, or if 

there is any sign of wear, damage or improper opera-

tion.  Contact your sales representative or call The 

Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT

.  One of our 

national Product Support representatives will direct you 

to an authorized service technician who will inspect your 

lift.
