	Risk of death  caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between vehicle lift columns and position the four support plates at the vehicle lift support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
	Risk of injury  . Moving parts can pinch, crush or, in extreme cases even sever extremities.	No parts of the body or limbs should be within the operating area of mechanical components when moving components.	AS00.00-Z-0009-01A
	Preparatory activity
1	Lift vehicle with lifting platform.

	Check
2	Check front shock absorbers (1) for fluid loss.	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 A light oil film on the front piston rods (10) is permissible. If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.	AP32.00-P-3255-01A
3	Check front piston rods (10) for surface damage, corrosion and deformation.	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.
4	Check that the front steel springs (2) are correctly seated in the front spring retainers (8).	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.
5	Check front steel springs (2) for fractures.	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.
6	Check that the front boots (3) are seated correctly and check for damage.	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.
7	Check front elastomer bearings (9) of front shock absorbers (1) for cracks, deformation and wear, as well as for play by firmly pulling and pushing at front shock absorbers (1).	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 The front elastomer bearings (9) must be seated with zero clearance in the housing eye and they may not be cracked or damaged. If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.	AP32.00-P-3255-01A
8	Check rear shock absorbers (4) for fluid loss.	If necessary, use commercially available devices/tools.  Swiveling inspection mirror with lighting, comparable to inspection mirror Hazet 1977-1 A light oil film on the rear piston rods (12) is permissible. If problems occur, ↓ rectify the problems. After obtaining special order.	AP32.00-P-3255-01A
