Lubrication
Properly lubricated, the PALFINGER Liftgates ILSL model will ensure longevity. Therefore, lubricate the lift at
the same time as the truck/trailer. Grease more frequently if the liftgate is heavily used. The liftgate should be
greased every 500 cycles (depending on use – estimated every 3 month).
Check the oil level in the tank. The level should be between the two marks 5 and 7 with platform in stored
position. Use a good quality of hydraulic fluid, ISO 32. Change oil at least once a year, preferably in the fall
before the winter is getting closer. The operation of the lift gate will accumulate condensation and some dirt
which can interfere with the lift gate functions.

Lubrication Plan
All bearing points must be lubricated in accordance with the maintenance intervals.
Make sure NOT to lubricate the rails with grease as it catches all dirt and mud.
Avoid this by using WD-40 for rail lubrication.
