4 COMMISSIONING AND DECOMMISSIONING FOR OPERATION AND
SHIPPING
4.1 COMMISSIONING/DECOMMISSIONING FOR AIRPORT, CROSS COUNTY OR
SHIPPING
The unit has been thoroughly lubricated and tested before leaving the factory, but to
ensure against damage, certain components have been strapped, wedged, packaged,
or covered, and, if shipment was overseas, coated with preservatives.
Before placing the unit in service, perform the commissioning
preparations. Failure to do so will cause the passenger stair to be unsafe to use,
operate, or service and could cause serious injury or death.
4.2 TRUCK CHASSIS
Observe break-in procedures as recommended in owner manual delivered with
chassis by manufacturer.
4.2.1 Front Spring Lockouts
Figure 1
Front spring lockouts must be installed before unit is placed in operation and
must be removed for any cross-country travel. Front springs are locked out by
installing a spacer block between the axle and existing rubber pads on the frame.
1. Jack up front of truck to remove load from front springs.
2. Remove lockouts from their shipping position in glove box. Each lockout
kit consists of a steel spacer block, a plate, and two capscrews and
lockwashers.
3. Install lockout spacer blocks between rubber pads and frame as shown in
Figure 1 on the next page.
4. Lower truck front end and remove jack.
