Maintenance, Lubrication & Adjustments

Exterior Maintenance and Lubrication (continued)

Front Cover Hinge: The front cover opens and closes via a spring loaded hinge. See Photo

E.Clean and lubricate the front cover hinge. A light oil may be used on the front cover hinge but should be limited to reduce the possible buildup of debris. Allow hinge to dry before applying lubricant (light oil).

Manual Release Handle: The manual release handle locks in position via a quarter turn of the handle. Clean exterior then unlock and pull handle out to apply lubricant (light oil) to shaft. Cycle handle in and out to distribute lubricant throughout mechanism.

Front Cover Seals: The front cover seals are important in order to reduce the amount of debris which enters the cassette during non- operation of the ramp. Inspect seals, clean and replace if necessary.

Floor Level/Stow Level Position of Platform: Vital to ramp performance is proper platform position before, after and during deploying and stowing cycles. Proximity sensors (see Photo F) use a magnetic ﬁeld to switch on and off as the

metallic pick-up passes in front of the sensor head. Distance from the sensor head to the pick-up must be approximately 2 mm and should be checked to ensure sensor switching (sensor LED lights when switched on). See Photos H and I.
