Installer Verification
Compatibility between the lift and the vehicle
The installer shall conrm the compatibility between the lift and the vehicle.
Static Test
Deformation
The unladen platform is positioned mid-way between ground level and vehicle oor level and
measurements are taken of the height of the platform and its angular attitude relative to the vehicle oor.
A load of 500 kg is applied to the platform and subsequently removed.
By repeating measurements of the height and attitude of the platform, verify that no permanent
deformation has occurred in any part of the lift or its attachment to the vehicle which could affect the
function of the lift.
Drift
A load of 500 kg is applied to the platform, positioned at oor level. Measurements are taken of the
height of the platform and its angular attitude relative to the vehicle oor. These measurements are
repeated after a 15 minute test period.
Verify that the vertical drift of the platform between the two measurements has not exceeded 15mm.
Verify that the angular drift of the platform between the two measurements has not exceeded 2º.
Test to Verify that the Lift Cannot Lift Excessive Load
A load of 440 kg is applied to the platform, positioned at ground level. Actuate the UP control and verify
that the platform does not lift (tilt is permissible).
1. Lower platform to the ground.
2. Place 440 kg at center of platform.

Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure
safe, trouble-free lift operation. Inspecting the lift
for any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions should be a part of the transit agency daily
service program. Simple inspections can detect
potential problems.
Park vehicle on a level surface clear of trafc
and bystanders. Place vehicle transmission in
“Park” and engage parking brake. Deploy lift
to ground level. Provide adequate work space
around fully-deployed lift. Perform specied
maintenance and lubrication procedures (position lift as required).
Pump Module: When cleaning the exterior of
the pump module, rst disconnect the unit from
its power source. Do not use liquid cleaners,
aerosols, abrasive pads, scouring powders or
solvents, such as benzine or alcohol. Use a
soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Ensure the surface cleaned is fully dry
before reconnecting power.
Other Components: Clean components and
the surrounding area before applying lubricants.
Clean only with mild detergent and water. Do
not clean with solvents. Allow the lift to dry thor-
oughly and apply lubricants as specied after
every cleaning.
LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use
of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other
contaminants which
could result in wear
or damage to components. Platform
components exposed to contaminants when lowered
to the ground may
require extra attention.
Perform maintenance and lubrication procedures
at the scheduled
intervals according to the number of cycles. When
servicing the lift at the recommended intervals,
inspection and lubrication procedures specied in
the previous sections should be repeated.
These intervals are a general guideline for scheduling maintenance procedures and will vary according to lift use and conditions. Lifts exposed
to severe conditions (weather, environment,
contamination, heavy usage, etc.) may require
inspection and maintenance procedures to be
performed more often than specied. Records of
maintenance and service procedures should be
maintained.
Discontinue lift use if maintenance and lubrication
procedures are not properly performed, or if there
is any sign of wear, damage or any abnormal condition. Contact your authorized representative.
