Maintenance and Lubrication Introduction
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe,
trouble-free operation. Inspecting the ramp for
any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions
should be a part of all transit agencies daily service
program (preventive maintenance). Simple inspec-
tions can detect potential problems.
Preventive maintenance visual inspections do not
take the place of the procedures specified in this
schedule.
The maintenance and lubrication procedures speci-
fied in this schedule must be performed by a Braun
authorized service representative at the scheduled
intervals according to the number of cycles or
elapsed time, whichever comes first.
RA400 Ramps are equipped with hardened pins
and self-lubricating bearings to decrease wear,
provide smooth operation and extend the service
life of the ramp.
Clean the components and the surrounding area
before applying lubricants. LPS2 General Pur-
pose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light
Oil is called out. Use of improper lubricants can
attract dirt or other contaminants which could result
in wear or damage to the components. Ramp com-
ponents exposed to contaminants when lowered to
the ground may require extra attention. Specified
lubricants are available from The Braun Corporation
(part numbers provided on page 20).
Recommended Intervals: These intervals are
a general guideline for scheduling maintenance
procedures and will vary according to ramp use and
conditions. Transit agencies operating vehicles
equipped with ramps that are not monitored by

MAINTENANCE and LUBRICATION
cycles may choose to
have the ramp sys-
tem maintained on
the same schedule as
the vehicle (routine
maintenance). Doing
so ensures the ramp
is being maintained
regularly.
When servicing the
ramp at the consecu-
tive recommended in-
tervals, inspection and
lubrication procedures
specified in the previous sections should be performed
(repeated). All listed inspection, lubrication and main-
tenance procedures should be repeated at "8 Weeks or
200 Cycles" intervals following the scheduled "1 Year or
1250 Cycles" maintenance.
Lifts exposed to severe conditions (weather, environ-
ment, contamination, heavy usage, etc.) may require
inspection and maintenance procedures to be per-
formed more often than specified.
Discontinue ramp use immediately if maintenance
and lubrication procedures are not properly performed,
or if there is any sign of wear, damage or improper
operation. Contact your sales representative or call
The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT
our national Product Support representatives will direct
you to an authorized service technician who will inspect
your ramp.
