5. MAINTENANCE

1. Periodically check cable status. If the ca-

ble seems to have broken wires or crushing, 

replace immediately with a new one. Never 

use the lifting tower with cables in bad con-

ditions. Only use galvanized steel under EN 

12385-4. Cable maximum load: 956kg. Cable 

torsion resistance: 1.770 N/mm². Cable dia-

meter: 4mm. Cable composition: 7x19+0.
2. The lifting tower is supplied fully greased 

from factory. Nevertheless, the crown gear of 

the winch, to the threaded bar of the stabili-

ser outriggers and the profiles, because of its 

use periodical greasing is recommended.

WARNING:

DO NOT GREASE OR LUBRICATE 

BRAKING  MECHANISM

Braking disks were greased with a special 

heat and pressure resistant grease. No other 

product must be used to prevent negative in-

fluence on brake functioning.
3. Lifting tower MEGARA 125, must be 

checked by an expert a minimum of once a 

year as per its use.
4. Only original spare parts must be used to 

ensure continued safe use. The user loses all 

guarantee rights if spare parts other than the 

originals are incorporated or the product is 

modified in any way.
5. To request any spare part, contact the 

manufacturer or an authorised distributor 

within your territory.

6. SPECIFIC RISKS
Braking system failure

May occur due to braking system deficien-

cies or bad installation. If it stops working 

it could cause a serious risk due to the rai-

sed load being out of control and may injure 

users or hit materials next to the tower. 

Loss of stability

If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or 

a surface that is not completely flat, there is a 

risk of losing stability which would lead to a 

90º overturn with risk of serious injuries for 

workers.

Objects dropping to a different level

As an elevation equipment and due to its 

working height, there is a serious risk of 

raised objects dropping to a different level, 

either due to securing mechanism failure, 

part wear, dirt, etc., or incorrect use of the 

lifting tower (E.g.: for goods over the maxi-

mum load allowed). Sudden drop of raised 

goods implies a serious risk for the worker. 

Knocks and/or contusions due to objects

This risk only occasionally causes an accident 

to the worker running the operation due to 

his location during the elevation process; the 

risk of knocks from a raised element is more 

likely to affect people walking by or whose 

workplace is next to the lifting tower.
Its origin may be due to a loss of stability, 

malfunctioning of structural elements, safety 

systems, securing systems, etc.
