sure that maintenance preserves the original ap-
proved safe operating features.

condition of parts. If a leak is found, action shall be

of the leak has been repaired.

and maintenance instruction plated, tags, or decals
shall be maintained in legible condition.

trollers, limit-switches, protective-devices, electrical

spected and maintained per carrier manufacturer’s
recommendation.

and facilitate detection of components needing ser-
vice.
(q) Modifications and additions which affect capac-
ity and safe carrier operation shall not be performed
without manufacturer’s prior written authorization;

labels are changed accordingly.
(r) Care shall be taken to ensure that all replacement
parts are interchangeable with the original parts and
of a quality at least equal to that provided in the orig-
inal equipment.

first. When reconnecting, connect positive connec-
tion first.

checked for leaks, for condition of parts. Keep body

fluids under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard,
