4 COMMISSIONING AND DECOMMISSIONING FOR OPERATION AND
SHIPPING
4.1 COMMISSIONING/DECOMMISSIONING FOR AIRPORT, CROSS COUNTY OR
SHIPPING
The unit has been thoroughly lubricated and tested before leaving the factory, but to
ensure against damage, certain components have been strapped, wedged, packaged,
or covered, and, if shipment was overseas, coated with preservatives.
Before placing the unit in service, perform the commissioning
preparations. Failure to do so will cause the passenger stair to be unsafe to use,
operate, or service and could cause serious injury or death.
4.2 TRUCK CHASSIS
Observe break-in procedures as recommended in owner manual delivered with
chassis by manufacturer.
