IV. Stowing the Lift a) Park the wheelchair lift away from the aircraft with the wheels up, or in an enclosure, so there is no possibility of it causing damage to aircraft or other airport equipment. b) If the lift could be subjected to high winds it should be fastened securely to a permanent fixture or be stowed inside an enclosure. - Page 11 III. Positioning the Passenger and Attendant on Lift The fore and aft location of the aircraft entrance will determine whether the passenger should be loaded onto the lift facing towards or away from the aircraft. If the entrance door is forward of the passenger seating, the passenger should be backed onto the lift facing away from the aircraft.

Page 14: Operation O F The Lift With The Beech 1900 And Fairchild Metroliner
Operation of the Lift with Beech 1900 and Fairchild Metroliner Operators using either of these aircraft must note the following special instructions for these difficult-to- access planes. In both cases, an experienced spotter must be positioned at the propeller to protect it, because of the proximity of the spinner tip to the airplane door. - Page 15 Fairchild Metro With the Metro proceed as follows, referring to diagrams at the end of these instructions: 1. Station an experienced person at the propeller to be sure the lift does not touch the blades or spinner. 2. The purpose is to get the lift pointing at the door, but sitting at an angle of about 10 to do this, lift post A must be about a foot ahead of the spinner tip - that is between the spinner and the plane.

8. Check that the paralleling cables are on all four pulleys, are not frayed, and have no slack. 9. With the deck all the way down, a pull of 10lb at the mid-point of each paralleling cable should produce the following deflections for an AX lift : 1 to 1-1/2”... - Page 28 36. Perform at least one full deployment/lifting cycle (from raising the lift onto its wheels through to parking after use) to test all functions of the unit.
