Report improper function or excessive wear. Challenger Lifts Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Model CL10 - Page 12 - Maintenance "The following maintenance points are suggested as the basis of a routine maintenance program. The actual maintenance program should be tailored to the installation. See ANSI/ALI ALOIM booklet for periodic inspection checklist and maintenance log sheet.

One feasible and acceptable method of abatement is for the employer to periodically retain a qualified lift inspection to conduct and document a periodic qualified inspection of each automotive lift.otive
