23. Check that the automatic leveller bar is free to move when the lift is on its wheels.
24. With the deck raised to approximately 36 inches (90 cm), check that the bridge ramp rolls out and returns smoothly using its crank handle. It should not be
possible for the ramp to be pushed in or out without using the crank.
25. Check that the bridge ramp centers positively and smoothly when fully extended.
26. Check that the bridge ramp centering cables are tight when the ramp is centered.
27. Extend the bridge ramp and lift upwards on the end. The bridge ramp gate should open and close fully and reliably as the end of the bridge ramp moves up and
down.
28. Check that the “Z” cables (that support the bridge ramp) hold the ramp parallel to the main deck in all positions.
29. With the bridge ramp fully retracted and one person standing on the deck (near the ground ramp), check that the chair deck bracing cables hold the deck 1/2 inch
above the bridge ramp (measure at the anchor points for the braces).
30. Test for the smooth and safe operation of the ground ramp and its latch.
31. Check that the ground ramp gate latch works and that the gate springs fully open when unlatched. With the deck at ground height the ground ramp latch should
pivot so as interfere with the deck crank when the ground ramp gate is open (this prevents the lift being raised with the ground ramp gate open).
32. Inspect the aircraft protection bumper(s) for excessive stiffness or damage. One is located on the tow bar to protect airstairs, the other is optional to protect the
fuselage.
33. Check the non-slip walking surfaces on the ramps and deck for excessive wear.
34. Record cycle counter reading. Divide by 5 for number of uses. Counter Reading ____________ # of Uses _______________
35. LOAD TEST. At the end of inspection work and any repairs or adjustments, the lift must be re-load tested to 1800 lb. (820 kg) which is three times the design
load.
36. Perform at least one full deployment/lifting cycle (from raising the lift onto its wheels through to parking after use) to test all functions of the unit. Contact
Adaptive Engineering Ltd. should any function or component be substandard.
