Check that the module lifting beam is in correct configuration for opening and
that all the arms are locked.
Check that the deck units align with the machined slot on the bridge panels.
♦ Refold ramp module and check for correct position of deck spacers.
Report defect to maintenance.
♦ Refold ramp module and check for correct thickness of deck spacers.
Replace as required.
Support the partially opened ramp module and check dampers on non-
opening side for free play. The damper with no free play will be the defective

WARNING
CRUSH HAZARD. DO NOT INSERT FINGERS IN HOLES WHEN CLEANING
OUT ACCUMULATED DIRT, USE A SUITABLE TOOL. SEVERE INJURY CAN
RESULT IF THIS INSTRUCTION IS NOT ADHERED TO.
Separate the two components and check bores for dirt build up. Clean if
required.

Check the end beam side alignment pads for damage. Report any damage
to maintenance.
Check the end beam for any obvious damage. Replace end beam.
Check the ramp module to end beam alignment pads for excessive
wear/damage. See Chapter 10 procedure 10.15.
Check the width between the ramp module inner jaw outer face and the
outer jaw inner face. The measurement between the edges of the jaws
should be between 131.685in (3344.799mm) MAX and 131.6in
(3342.64mm) MIN.
If measurement is under size the ramp module is not fully open. Perform
ramp does not open procedure (above). If measurement is over size, check
