7.5 Inspecting the Chair
Have your service's equipment maintenance personnel inspect the
chair at regular intervals. Conduct a visual inspection of the track system
before use, and a thorough inspection of the track system after each
use.
Follow the checklists on this page and work the chair through all its
functions as described in this manual.
If inspection shows damage or excessive wear, remove the chair from
service until repairs are made. See "Parts and Service" on page 35.
