	Check
	Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between the columns of the lifting platform and position the four support plates below the hoist support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
1	Raise vehicle with lifting platform
2	Check flexible couplings and vibration damper for wear, damage and deformation	If damage is detected during the visual inspection: ↓ Install new flexible coupling and/or vibration damper as a separate repair order.
3.1	Check spacers of flexible coupling in vicinity of fitting sleeves for cracks and permanent deformation	Only on vehicles with flexible couplings with flexible thrust response mounted at transmission end. If damage is detected during the visual inspection: ↓ Install new flexible coupling as a separate repair order.	AP41.10-P-4152-01ZA
4	Check spacers of vibration damper for cracks	If damage is detected during the visual inspection: ↓ Install new vibration damper as a separate repair order.	AP41.10-P-4152-02ZA
