If general day to day maintenance is carried out on the SL500 server lift, the lifter will give you years of service. Not only can this server lift assist you in making sure that workplace injuries are at a minimum, it also makes the working environment a much more efficient area. 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 your server lift would require that you do some regular maintenance, much of which is a matter of common sense.

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 periods of time. This will not only ensure that the server lift is always topped up with charge for when you want to use it, leaving the SL500 unplugged for extended amounts of time can reduce the capacity of the onboard battery. The server lift plugs into a standard wall plug socket, and all you need to do is just plug in the socket for it to start charging.

A lot of people get mixed confused with the braking system on the server lift. When engaged, this brake provides you with sideways stability whilst it prevents the server lift from moving forward or backwards. You will just need to get used to the braking system so that you are using the equipment in the safest way possible. There may be times when adjustments are necessary, particularly if the brakes are not connecting with the floor properly. Just read the manual to determine the best practice for these situations, if in doubt do not brake if the wheels are not all touching the floor.

If you are having a difficulty with the SL500 server lift because it will not go up or down, there may be a problem with the sensor switches that control the upper and lower limits. It may be necessary to replace these or perhaps it could be a short in the wiring. It may be possible for you to correct this issue on your own but at times, it may also be necessary for you to contact the service department and have your server lift maintained professionally.

Your server lift will be able to be used for years with regular maintenance although at times, you may need to replace parts or fix issues that are too much for you to manage. This can be covered by the use of an additional maintenance contract. The one point that is important for you to keep in mind when making use of the SL500 server lifter is that it should normally be plugged in when it is not being used. We talked about this at the beginning of the article, but it is important for you to keep this in mind to lengthen the life of the battery pack.

As well as an issued manual for day to day maintenance, further help can be found on line in the ServerLift resource centre.
