8.9.1 General
There shall be no evidence of failures (eg, fatigue cracks) or creation of hazardous conditions during the accelerated life cycle test in Clause 8.9.2. Electrical components and wiring, hydraulic components, drive components, arid fasteners shall be considered as integral parts of the lift system for the purposes of the test.
8.9.2 Accelerated Life Cycle Test
An accelerated life cycle test shall be performed on a test fixture by repeating the lift use cycle 4400 times in an ambient temperature of 10 to 32°C (50 to 90°F) as follows:
(a) the time between each cycle shall be between 6 and 7 mm;
(b) alternating cycles of loaded and unloaded platform shall be simulated by applying a load of 2670 N (600 lbf) for 100 cycles and then removing the load for 100 cycles; the lift shall be stowed and deployed during each cycle of the unloaded test;
(c) a visual inspection shall be made without disassembly of the lift at intervals of 500 cycles, and changes in alignment, component wear, and loosening of fasteners shall be recorded; and (d) preventative maintenance shall be performed during the test in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
