manufacturer: a company that produces goods for sale. mechanical: term used to describe a device that utilizes manual energy as the force for operation. mobile:termusedtodescribePASE thatisreadilymovable from one work area to another without load. overload: a load that exceeds the rated capacity of PASE. PASE: anyone ofthe various types ofportable automotive service equipment listed in the scope of this Standard. pawl: a pivoted component that, when engaged with the teeth ofa ratchet, prevents undesired movementin a spe- cific direction. pneumatic: term used to describe a device that utilizes compressed air as the force or delivery-transmitting medium. portable:notpermanentlyfixedinone locationandable to be moved from one workplace to another. proofload: a load, greater than the rated capacity, applied centrallyto PASE liftingorattachingpoints, orto the work surfaceas definedbythe loadingapparatus, to confirmthe integrity of the structure. qualified personnel: individuals who, by possession of a recognized degree in an applicable field or certificate of professional standing, or by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, have successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work. raisedheight:thedistancefromthegroundtothetopofthe saddle at the full extension of PASE. ram: see cylinder. ratchet: a toothed member for engagementwith the pawl. ratedcapacity: the maximum published operating load or volume that PASE is designed to lift, support, deliver, contain, receive, or transport. regulator: an adjustable pressure-control device that limits the discharge pressure. reliefvalve: a device that senses pressure beyond a speci- fied level and allows the elevated pressure to vent to an area of lower pressure. repair: the process of rehabilitation or replacement of parts that are the same as the original for the purpose ofensuring performance in accordance with the applica- ble requirements.
2-2.3.1 Operating Controls.
Operating controls shall be designed in such a manner that they are readily visible and accessible to the operator and so that the operator will not be subjected to pinch points, sharp edges, or snagging hazards. The operation of controls should be clear to the operator by position, function, labeling, or a combination thereof. The handle (if employed) or other operating device shall be capable ofbeing operated to the rated capacity ofthe attachment, adapter, or accessory without sustaining functional damage. To prevent accidental operation, the handle (if employed) or other operating device shall require inten- tional positive action by the operator to move or reposi- tion the load.
2-2.3.2 TravelLimit. AllPASE thatmovealoadshall be provided with a positive means to prevent the load from being moved or repositioned beyond the design limit of travel in all possible directions.
2-2.3.3 Hydraulic Load-Limiting Device. Hydraulic- operated PASE shall have an internal load-limiting device that can be deactivated in preparation for the proof load test. The load-limiting device shall activate when lifting no less than 100% of rated capacity but no more than 125% of rated capacity.
2-2.3.4 Manual Operation. PASE actuated by manual force shall be capable of lifting the load at rated capacity (see para. 2-2.3.1) while the operator, in the operating position, exerts an ergonomically appropriate force on the actuating handle or pedal. The actuating handle or pedal should be designed to prevent overloading the PASE by deforming prior to reaching proof load.
