Read and become
familiar with all ramp
operation safety
precautions, pre-
operation notes and
details, operating
instructions and
manual operating
instructions prior to
operating the ramp.
If this information is
not fully understood,
contact The Braun
Corporation immedi-
ately. Failure to do so
may result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
The Braun Corporation recom-
mends that transit agency su-
pervisors and driver/attendants
review the safety precautions and
operation procedures appearing
in this manual with the ramp sales
representative (or vehicle con-
verter) before attempting ramp
operation.
Any questions or concerns can be
answered at that time. Operate
the ramp through all functions to
ensure the proper use and opera-
tion is understood.
Maintenance is necessary to
ensure safe and trouble free
operation. General preventive
maintenance consisting of care-
ful inspections and cleaning the
ramp system should be a part of
your transit agency’s daily service
program. Simple inspections
can detect potential operational
problems.
Operation Procedure Review
Transit agency supervisors
should train and educate all
driver/attendants on the proper
use and operation of the vehicle,
door system, interlock(s), ramp
and ramp passenger safety.
The ramp owner’s/service manu-
al must be stored in the ramp-
equipped vehicle at all times.
Regular preventive maintenance
will reduce potential operation
downtime and increase the
service life of the ramp, as well
as possibly detecting potential
hazards.
A generic Daily Preventive
Maintenance Schedule is
provided in this manual for your
transit agency’s use. The form
can be tailored to your particular
application.
Preventive Maintenance:
Exposure to harsh weather, en-
vironmental conditions, or heavy
usage may require more frequent
maintenance and lubrication
procedures.
Preventive maintenance visual
inspections do not take the place
of the procedures specied in
the Maintenance and Lubrication
Schedule provided in this manual.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Lubrication section in this manual
for further details.
