B. CLEANING
Regular cleaning with mild soap (i.e. hand soap, car wash liquid) and drying thoroughly will protect lift painted surfaces.
Cleaning is especially important in areas where roads are salted in winter. Make sure that lift pivot points remain clear
and clean prior to lubrication.

Verify that platform moves freely, without binding, and does not wobble.
Bridgeplate
Verify that bridgeplate operates without binding during lift functions.
Verify that bridgeplate deploys fully when platform stops at floor level.
