WARNING
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 specified in
the Maintenance and Lubrication
Schedule provided in this manual.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Lubrication section in this manual
for further details.
