NECK RAMP MAINTENANCE
Daily Checks
1. Regularly check that there are no foreign objects
caught in the hinge area.
2. Check the function of the ramp by operating the unit
into the raised and into the flat position.
3. Check for any damage to the ramp.
4. The ramp is lifted via an airbag, so a visual check
of the bag is required to see if there are any leaks or
damage.
5. The retractable support pins slide in a housing, these
need to be lightly greased during routine maintenance
& given a visual inspection.
NOTE:
Copper grease is recommended as it does not
attract dirt like normal grease.
6. The air chamber that extends and retracts the pin
requires a visual inspection to check for any damage.
IMPORTANT:
Replace any worn or broken parts (as
soon as a fault is identified).
1. RAMP AIR BAG
2. RETRACTABLE SUPPORT PINS
3. SUPPORT PIN AIR CHAMBERS
(2 x N/S, 2 x O/S, + 1 x Centre)
Weekly Checks
1. Look for any wear and tear in the pivot points and
locking pins.
2. The ramp pivot point is a full width bar which sits
loosely in a box section housing on the chassis & ramp
so a visual inspection is required.
