MAINTENANCE and LUBRICATION
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe,
trouble-free operation. Inspecting the ramp for
any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions
should be a part of the transit agency daily service
program. Simple inspections can detect potential
problems.

RA300 Series ramps are equipped with hardened
pins and self-lubricating bearings to decrease
wear, provide smooth operation and extend the
service life of the ramp.
When servicing the ramp at the consecutive
recommended intervals, inspection and lubrica-

should be performed (repeated). Clean compo-

lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating
Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called
out. Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or
other contaminants which could result in wear or
damage to the components. Ramp components

These intervals are a
general guideline for

with a cycle counter located in the pan weldment.
This cycle counter allows the service technicain to
