Dynamic load test.
14.2.1
Test with max. load
Place a test load on the platform according to the table for the respective tail lift model and lifting capacity.
Check that the lift operates correctly in the normal range of movement allowed, i.e. up, down,
tilting at ground level and tilting at the vehicle floor level.
14.2.2
Test with overload
Place a test load on the platform according to the table for the respective tail lift model and lifting capacity.
The test load should be 1.25 x the lift model’s max. load. Verify that the tail lift cannot lift the
load when the up function is switched on (it may however by possible to tilt up the load).

Test of safety functions
The tail lift functions must be tested.
Check:
• That the red light in the vehicle cabin turns off when the platform is completely closed
against the body and that it turns on when the platform is opened (where applicable).
• That the tail lift cannot be activated if the cabin switch is in the off position.
• That the tail lift cannot be activated when the main switch fuse is removed (where applica-
ble).
• That the overflow valve is activated when the lift is operated up to the vehicle floor level or
end stops.
• That the tail lift cannot be lowered or tilted down if the electrical connector from the electric
hose rupture valves is removed from the lift and tilt cylinders respectively.
• That there is a “max. load” marking on the platform and it is correctly positioned according
to the loading diagram for the tail lift model concerned.
• That warning flags and reflectors are fitted and fulfil their function correctly.
• That all safety and operating decals are installed in their respective position.
• That the platform’s mechanical lock is functioning correctly (where applicable).
• That the instructions for using the tail lift have been left in the driver’s cabin.
• That the CE declaration of conformity has been completed.
