Inspections & Maintenance
At least 1 time per week, inspect:
1. Wearing parts:
 Rubber feet –examine the feet for excessive wear, and replace them as necessary to provide a reliable, no-slip
contact with the ground.
 Threaded legs
 Fasteners - bolts, nuts, washers. Replace all damaged fasteners BEFORE using the steps again.
 [ASP-PORT] Wheels – inspect the surface of each wheel for damage that could prevent smooth operation, and
examine the cotter pins and wheel rims. Replace wheel(s) if necessary.
Handle weldment – inspect welds for cracks
 [ASP-PORT-HT] – examine wheels and check the inflation pressure. Add/remove air as required to match the
inflation recommendations of the wheel manufacturer. Inspect the cotter pins and washers that prevent the
wheels from sliding off of the wheel shaft. Replace any component(s) that is damaged too significantly to
function/operate properly.
2. Steps and frame: confirm that each step and the frame are structurally sound, not corroded or rusted. DO NOT use
the step stand if a step(s) are structurally compromised or dangerously rusted or corroded.
3. Welds: confirm that all welds are intact. DO NOT use the step stand if authorized maintenance personnel determine
that a damaged weld compromises the soundness of the steps.
4. Overall condition of Step stand, [ASP-PORT] handle, [ASP-PORT-HT] dolly: the structure should be clean, square
and rigid, and free of rust and corrosion. Remove dirt and debris. DO NOT use the step stand if rusted or corroded to
a degree that compromises structural integrity.
