Check for presence and proper setting of all snap rings and clips on axles, cylinders and rollers
Check rollers, pins and bushings for any signs of wear such as flat spots, missing fasteners, or dislodged bearing material
Inspect all welds under and around the lift for fatigue or failure Particularly, inspect the structural welds
Check the hydraulic fittings for cracks or leaks and clean up any seepage on or beneath the cylinders
Check hoses and electrical lines for abrasions or other abuse and check for snug connectors
