Infrequent Use

If a Ladder Lift is used less than 1 day in a 2-week period, perform the Periodic Inspection

each

time before using the Ladder Lift

TESTING SCHEDULE

Perform these tests when placing the Ladder Lift in service

initially

and

each time following a

repair or modification

. Correct any deficiency and retest before using the Ladder Lift.

Operational Tests

• Test all features and functions of the Ladder Lift (see OPERATING FEATURES, OPERATION and

MAINTENANCE).

Load Test

Prove that the Ladder Lift can lift 100% of its Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS),

using an actual load or an equivalent simulation.

Employ the following method to test with an

actual load:

1) Place a test load with appropriate LOAD CHARACTERISTICS (see INTENDED USE) on a stable

support.

2) Attach the load to the Ladder Lift as previously directed.

3) Raise the load a minimal distance, and release the handle of the hand winch to assure that

the load is supported by the Ladder Lift.

4) Lower the load a minimal distance and again release the winch handle, to make sure that the

load is supported by the Ladder Lift.

5) Allow the Ladder Lift to hold the load for 5 minutes. The load must not slip or fall during this

time period. If it does, perform a Periodic Inspection of the Ladder Lift. Be sure to inspect

the hand winch as indicated under WINCH MAINTENANCE. Correct any deficiency that is found

and retest the Ladder Lift.

Note: See MAINTENANCE topics to follow for additional directions about inspecting and testing

specific Ladder Lift components.

ASME Standard B30.6 requires the Ladder Lift to be tested to not less than 100% and not more than 110% of its Maximum

Load Capacity.
