During routine inspections, oper- ate all Rampvan systems and note the following (as equipped):
•Is the power source adequate or weak?
•Does the electronic control system function properly?
•Do the control switches function properly?
•Does the kneel system function properly?
•Does the power slide door func- tion properly?
•Does the ramp deploy and stow properly?
•Inspect wheelchair and occu- pant restraint belts, buckles and hardware for damage, wear, abnormal condition or improper operation.
Rampvan ramps are equipped with sealed bearings and Tef- lon™ bushings to decrease wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service life of the ramp. These components do not require lubrication under normal condi- tions (although the ramp should be inspected and cleaned routinely).
Light oil should be applied to the
outboard ramp extension hinge. Clean the components and the surrounding area before applying lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recommended by and available from the Braun Corporation (part number 15807). Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants which could result in wear or dam- age to components.

Exposure to severe conditions (weather, envi- ronment, heavy usage, etc.) may require inspection and mainte- nance procedures to be performed more often.
