To Load A Passenger In A Wheelchair Onto The Aircraft - Adaptive Engineering AX Operation And Maintenance Manual

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. An optional enclosure is available from the manufacturer.
c) The Mobilift is designed for durable reliability but it could be damaged by foreign object
debris (FOD). The lift should be stored at a location to minimize this hazard.
