Elements essential to an acceptable safe maintenance and care procedure include at a minimum: 1.Inspect automotive lifts prior to use to ensure that safety locking devices and all other components are in safe operating condition. Any lift found to be defective or in need of repair should be taken out of service immediately and the malfunctioning, damaged, broken or worn parts should be repaired or replaced. 2.Train operators concerning all the appropriate procedures for the safe operation and use of this type of machinery. 3.Post manufacturers operating manuals in the service area for information and reference.
