During routine inspections, oper- ate the lift through a minimum of one complete cycle and note the following:

•Do the automatic door(s) open fully (if equipped)?

•Does the lift safely clear the door(s) when unfolding and folding?

•Do the lift control switches func- tion properly?

•Do the automatic inboard loca- tor and outer barrier operate properly?

•Does the outer barrier latch operate properly?

•Does the switch arm fuction properly?

•Is the power source adequate or weak?
