30、portion of this Test Procedure (see 6.1).COPYRIGHT Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling ServicesSAE J2092 Reaffirmed NOV1999-4-4.14 Wire Rope System TestAn inspection of the wire rope system shall be made to ensure compliance withstandards specified in SAE J2093, 5.4

31、. This inspection shall include measurement of the nominal diameters ofrope, sheaves, and drum. The fleet angle between the lead sheave and drum and between sheaves at allplatform positions shall be measured. Attachments and fittings shall be inspected for compliance. The travelof the rope during al

32、l lift movements shall be followed to observe possible rope contact with structuralmembers.4.15 ComplianceRefer to Section 7.5. Specification Tests5.1 Control Switch TestsControl switches and circuits shall be tested for conformity with the operationalrequirements of SAE J2093, 6.1. Any nonconforman

33、ce to be noted.5.2 Water Spray TestThe exposed portions of electrical components intended for installation external to thevehicle will be subjected to a 5 min, fine droplet water spray test in which the droplets contact the componentsboth vertically and horizontally. The wetted components will be al

34、lowed to air dry for approximately 3 min andthen the circuits will be electrically checked for successful operation.5.3 Electrical Current TestElectrical current flow will be measured for each lift movement. The ammeter usedwill be of laboratory quality with appropriate shunts. Only steady-state cur

35、rent, ignoring momentary surges, willbe recorded using a SAE J211 class 60 filter.5.4 Platform Angle TestWith the lift installed according to the procedure in 4.1. The lift when unloaded shouldbe adjusted to manufacturers specifications at the level of the vehicle floor. The platform shall then have

36、 aload of 600 lb placed upon it in the same manner as noted in 6.1. Measure the platform to determine that theslope does not change more than 3.6 degrees in any plane (or 0.75 rise to 12 in of run). When this test hasbeen completed, the lift should be reset to the platform angle, if any, recommended

37、 by the manufacturer for theremainder of the tests.5.5 Finish Coating TestAn inspection of the coating will be made to include, but not be limited to, overallappearance and existence of a dull, matte surface finish. Measurements of film thickness shall be made in atleast three locations using a dial

38、 comparator or dial indicator as described in ASTM D 1005-51. A subjectiveevaluation of coating adherence will be obtained in at least three locations as follows: use a machinists scribeto scribe a single line approximately 1 in long with sufficient force to penetrate to the base metal. Lay on a str

39、ipof transparent mending tape and burnish the scribed area for approximately 15 s with a smooth-ended metaltool. Pull the tape off with a quick, perpendicular motion. A very thin line of coating particles is indication ofgood adhesion. Upon completion of the Accelerated Life Cycle Test and the Opera

40、tional Safety Test, anotherinspection will be made to determine long-term wear and use characteristics of the coating.5.6 Acceleration TestAccelerations in all planes (vertical, lateral, and horizontal) will be measured inaccordance with SAE J211 using frequency class 1000 accelerometers during the

41、entire life cycle.Accelerometers shall be mounted at the center of the lift platform at surface level. A weight of 1780 kg (600 lb)shall be placed on the lift at the center of the platform during acceleration measurements. Acceleration signalsshall be filtered using a frequency class 8 filter with e

42、ither manual or automatic operation. The filteredacceleration in any direction shall not exceed 0.3 g during any operation motion of the lift platform.5.7 Slope Dimension TestThe empty platform will be lowered to the ground position with the roll stop at itsentry/exit position. Linear measurements o

43、f rise and run will be made. Likewise, any step over which thewheelchair must roll will be measured to determine that the dimensions specified in SAE J2093, 6.3 are notexceeded.COPYRIGHT Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling ServicesSAE J2092 Reaffirmed NOV1999-5-5.8

44、Test for Openings in PlatformThe platform will be positioned at ground level and at van floor level, and allopenings therein will be tested with a metal ball of 19.1 mm (3/4 in) diameter for oversize dimensions of theopenings.5.9 Operational Safety TestThe fully assembled and installed wheelchair li

45、ft shall be operated by both able-bodied and disabled persons in the manner specified in the Operating Instructions, and observations made asto whether the lift can be operated with minimum potential for injury.5.9.1 Observation shall be made of the floor level stop position as to safe entry/exit of

46、 the wheelchair into/out of thevan and to assure that the 5/8 in maximum step height is achieved (SAE J2093, 6.5).5.9.2 OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS INSPECTIONThe fully assembled and installed wheelchair lift shall be carefullyinspected with regard to safeguards, sharp edges, projections, unprotected shear

47、and pinch points, and dirtyor greasy surfaces with which the occupant might come in contact during normal operation.5.10 Wheelchair Retaining TestBlock the roll stop open and measure the operation of the roll stop interlock toassure that it does not allow the outboard end of the lift to travel more

48、than 6 in above the ground plane. If thelift is a semi-automatic lift with a manually operated roll stop, operate the roll stop to assess application andrelease mechanisms for essential clarity of operation.Test equipment will be constructed to fit each wheelchair retaining device. The equipment wil

49、l apply a staticload of 1600 lb at a height of 2.5 in above and parallel to the wheelchair ground plane, evenly distributed overthe full width of the roll stop device. In cases where the roll stop device falls at or above 2.5, in the load shallbe applied as close as possible to 0.5 in above the bottom edge of the roll stop as indicated previously.The load will be applied to the stop device for at least 5 s with the lift platform at the van floor level and also willbe applied as the lift platform ground plane moves down. A load of 600 lb will be
