The lift column should be checked periodically by a technician. The lead screw and guide rails
in the lift columns need to be greased periodically. Call immediately if there is suspicion of
any issues with the lift column. See below for specific maintenance instructions, as well as the attached video for a visual reference.
- First and foremost, make sure that your lift carriage is lowered fully by turning the body weight control knob on the left of the screen.
- Remove the lift motor cover at the base of the lift columns by taking out the 4 screws (2 top, 2 bottom) using a T20 torx bit.
- Remove the tall skinny lead screw cover that runs up the middle of the lift column by taking out the 4 screws (2 top, 2 bottom) using a T20 torx bit.
- Before applying any grease, remove any old grease on the lead screw using a rag or paper towel.
- Using a tube of white lithium grease, apply a light layer of grease to
lead screw from top to bottom in 2-4” increments to ensure the proper amount of
grease is applied. Apply a LIGHT coat only. We recommend using something like this: Lucas Oil White Lithium Grease. *IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE WD40 OR ANY SOLVENT/CLEANING AGENT. THIS CAN DEGRADE THE GREASE AND LIFT COLUMN MECHANISM, RESULTING IN MACHINE FAILURE*
- Use the body weight control knob to the left of the screen to SLOWLY move the lift carriage up and down the entire length of the lift column a few times to help spread the grease.
- Wipe off any excess lubrication that may have spread to the outside of the lift column.
- Re-attach the lead screw cover first, followed by the motor cover.
