14. Abaisser partiellement la plate-forme en poussant le
commutateur de levage du châssis vers BAS (« DOWN »)
et en vérifiant le fonctionnement de l’alarme sonore de
descente.
15. Ouvrir la vanne d’abaissement d’urgence du châssis (Figure 3) pour vérifier son bon fonctionnement en tirant la
poignée et en la maintenant sortie. Une fois la plate-forme
complètement abaissée, fermer la vanne en relâchant la
poignée.
16. Tourner la clé de contact du châssis sur PLATEAU («
DECK »).
17. Fermer et verrouiller les portes des modules.
18. Vérifier que le passage soit dégagé de personnes, obstacles, trous et pentes, qu’il soit horizontal et capable de
supporter la charge des roues.
