7. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, LUBRICATION and STORAGE
The Jackpod Davit System has been designed to provide many years of trouble free service, and requi-
res little in the way of routine maintenance. Any loose fasteners must be tightened, and the equipment
EN
returned to a factory authorized service center for structural repair if necessary. Basic cleaning should
be performed at least annually (as outlined in Section 6.2.1) as part of the annual inspection, or more
frequently as required when used is under harsh conditions.
7.1 Cleaning the Jackpod Davit Arm
Use a solution of warm water and a mild detergent to clean the Jackpod Davit System and its labels. Do
not use solvents or other cleaners to clean the equipment, as this may result in damage to the powder
coat finish.
7.2 Lubrication
7.2.1 Sky-Klik Lubrication
After cleaning and inspection as instructed in Section 6.2.3, lubricate Sky-Klik connectors with
WD-40 or a similar moisture displacing penetrant as required, and wipe away any excess with a
clean cloth. Do not apply oil, grease, or other lubricants that may attract and trap contaminants.
7.2.2 Sliding Assemblies Lubrication
After cleaning and inspection as instructed in Section 6.2.3, wipe all sliding surfaces with a clean
rag dampened with WD-40 or a similar moisture displacing penetrant.
7.3 Storage
Store the Davit Arm and other related safety equipment out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry area away from
dust, chemicals or other harmful material. Always inspect before using equipment that has been stored
for any extended period of time.
7.4 Parts Considered Normal Wear and Tear for Warranty Purposes
Pulleys, Rollers, Labels, Adjuster Screws, Rubber Foot Pads (where applicable), and Sky-Klik Connectors
are considered subject to normal wear and tear during use and are not covered under warranty except in
cases of material or manufacturing defects.
