Preventive Maintenance:
Maintenance is necessary to ensure safe and trouble free operation. General preventive maintenance consisting of care- ful inspections and cleaning the ramp system should be a part of your transit agency’s daily service program. Simple inspections can detect potential operational problems.
Regular preventive maintenance will reduce potential operation downtime and increase the service life of the ramp, as well as possibly detecting potential hazards.
A generic Daily Preventive Maintenance Schedule is provided in this manual for your transit agency’s use. The form can be tailored to your particular application.
Exposure to harsh weather, en- vironmental conditions, or heavy usage may require more frequent maintenance and lubrication procedures.
Preventive maintenance visual inspections do not take the place of the procedures specified in the Maintenance and Lubrication Schedule provided in this manual. Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrication section in this manual for further details.
