Maintenance
7.4
Cleaning
The ramp must be cleaned in the normal cleaning schedule of the vehicle, depending on the use of the
vehicle and the dirtiness of the operation. Normal non-aggressive cleaning materials, as used for
cleaning the other parts of the vehicle, should be used.
Do not use aggressive solvents; these could affect the paint, rubber and glue as used at the ramp.
7.5
Periodical maintenance
The product is maintenance free. This means that it is not necessary to grease any of the moving parts.
7.6
Yearly inspection
The inspection of the ramp can only be done by a company that is familiar with ramps and lifting devices
and which has trained staff.
This is a people caring device. ACDEOS recommends inspection maintenance should be carried out
yearly.
The following points should be checked every year:
1.
The hinge area for stress cracks and lose rivets
2.
All bolts and screws on the ramp are fixed and in place
3.
That the max load stickers in place and good condition
4.
The anti-slip of the platform
Finally a general impression of the ramp is needed to decide whether it is safe for another year in service.
