Maintaining Your Server Lift Properly

As far as charging the SL500 server lifter is concerned, it is generally recommended that you continue to keep the server lift plugged in when it is not in use. This is even true when you're not going to be using the lift for extended amounts of time. Not only will this ensure that the equipment is available and ready to be used when it is necessary to use it, leaving the SL500 unplugged for extended amounts of time can reduce the capacity of the onboard battery. Simply use the included power cord to plug the server lift into one of the standard wall outlets that are available in your workspace.

On top of that, using the right server lifter can assist in making sure that all of the heavy and expensive equipment that you regularly handle is put into place without a problem. Maintaining the server lift that you own, would require that you do some regular maintenance, much of which is a matter of common sense.

A common misconception that many people have about this server lifter has to do with the stabilizer brake. When engaged, this brake provides you with sideways stability but it does not prevent the server lift from moving forward or backwards, although it does limit this to a certain extent. Be sure that you familiarize yourself with the stabilizer break and its function in order to make sure that you are using this server lift in the safest way that is possible. There may be times when adjustments are necessary, particularly if the brakes are not connecting with the floor properly. The operator's manual will assist you in knowing how to do this.

Your server lift will be able to be used for years without any regular maintenance although at times, there may be some preventative maintenance that is available through an optional service contract. The one thing that is important for you to keep in mind when using the SL500 server lifter is that it should always be plugged in when it is not in use. We discussed this at the beginning of the article, but it is important for you to keep this in mind to extend the life of the battery.
