Appendix 3.2J: Lifts, Brakes and Air Compressors Specifications

BRAKE TESTING

The brake tester shall be of the “drive-on and stop” type and must be capable of quickly and accurately measuring and recording the brake effort of a motor vehicle’s actual stopping conditions. A brake dynamometer will not be sufficient. The vehicle weighing mechanism shall be placed in a location such that “backing up” the vehicle is not required during the brake test process.

Side to side brake balance for each axle, front to rear brake balance, vehicle deceleration, vehicle weight, parking brake balance and deceleration, and minimum and maximum vehicle test speed must be tested.

The video monitor and computer shall be mounted so that the information displayed can be read by a person sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle being tested. A protective enclosure, which can be locked, shall be provided for the video monitor and computer to prevent vandalism and also to minimize exposure to the elements when the brake tester is not in use.

The brake tester shall be equipped with a programmable computer. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the brake testing equipment has the most current software. The contractor shall be responsible for procuring software updates as the manufacturer makes the updates available. The brake test computer shall interface with a computer system for data collection and storage and shall be connected to a printer using standard plugs, sockets and cables. The computer shall be equipped with a numerical keyboard which can be used for data entry purposes.

When a vehicle is driven onto the brake tester and stopped, the following information shall be displayed on a video monitor.

· Total braking effort in pounds.

· Percentage of braking effort developed by the front axle.

· Percentage of braking effort developed by rear axle.

· The difference in percentage of braking effort developed by the left and right wheels on the rear axle.

· Brake efficiency (total braking effort in pounds divided by weight of vehicle in pounds)

· Curves depicting the amplitude and duration of the braking force generated by each wheel. A different color shall be used for each of four wheels.

· A pass-fail indicator which automatically compares the braking effort recorded with the legal standard.

Each motorist whose vehicle fails the brake inspection will be given a printout of the results. The printout must show numerically and graphically the braking force for each wheel. The printout must also graphically demonstrate the side-to-side brake balance of each wheel and overall brake deceleration. This document is independent of the VIR.

There is at least one heavy-duty brake tester at each centralized facility. All new heavy-duty brake tester shall be designed to adequately withstand the stresses involved in a continuous, production line style of motor vehicle testing, and shall have a maximum vehicle drive-over weight capacity of no fewer than 44,000 pounds per axle. (Tandem axles are considered to be one axle). The heavy-duty brake tester shall be able to test vehicles up to 40,000 pounds and shall be equipped with a total of four (4) wheel testing plates. The wheel testing plates shall be positioned so that one plate is used for each front wheel and each rear wheel of the vehicle being tested. The maximum vehicle wheelbase capacity for the single stop test shall not be less than 318 inches. Other specifications include:

· he top surface of each wheel testing plate shall be equipped with a skid resistant surface.

· The entire surface of each wheel testing plate shall be coated with corrosion resistant finish.

· A metal frame must support the wheel testing plates. The metal frame shall be designed so that it can be easily mounted on a level concrete surface, or, if mounted in concrete, it would appear to be a level testing surface.

· The frame assembly must be designed to accommodate a floor drain under each wheel testing plate location.

· The entire package of metal frame shall be coated with corrosion resistant finish.

· Strain gauge transducers must measure the braking effort of each wheel. The measurement range of the transducers shall be from 0 to 10,000 pounds per wheel. The resolution of the transducers shall be no more than 10 pounds.

· The measurement range of the brake tester shall be from 0 to 40,000 pounds total braking effort. The resolution of the brake tester shall be no more than 10 pounds per wheel. The accuracy of the brake tester shall be ½ per cent of the maximum measuring range.

· A means for readily testing and adjusting the accuracy of each individual wheel testing plate and its associated circuitry.

· Operation without damage, and within specified calibration limits in ambient air temperatures, ranging from 0 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit while exposed to direct sunlight.

· The electronic circuitry shall be on modular, plug in type construction, for ease of servicing.

· The interval of time, from the instant the vehicle being tested is stopped on the wheel testing plates and the information required is displayed on the video monitor, until the brake testing machine is ready for another test, shall not exceed 75 seconds.

Lift Manual

Rev. 06/25/10

Introduction

A vehicle steering, and suspension system is designed to provide directional control and a smooth but safe ride. It provides stable handling and accurate turning. All vehicles must have a safe and tight steering system to ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive on the roads. Accidents or unsafe vehicle control can occur if the vehicles steering or suspension system is worn out or broken. To ensure this, all vehicles that are over 50,000 miles are required to have their steering systems checked during the vehicle inspection process. The most accurate way of doing this is to raise the vehicle off the ground and physically shake the vehicles front tires and see if there is any looseness evident in the steering and suspension components. Any looseness indicated by more the one Quarter inch of play in the vehicles steering system indicates that there is worn steering or suspension parts that need to be repaired.

Components

The Lift

The lift is an air pressure-controlled plate that can be raised and lowered accurately by the inspector. The lift is a large wide plate that has a rubber coated top. When raised, the lift plate is wide and long enough to ensure that it will contact something metal on the undercarriage of the vehicle. Because of the new lift plate design the vehicle is “sitting on top of a table” ensuring the vehicle will not move or fall off the lift while being raised.

Lift handle control

The lift handle controls the raising and lowering of the lift. To raise the lift the inspector shall pull the handle upward. To lower the lift, push down on the lift handle. Caution must be used when raising the lift as the lift can go up very fast. The inspector shall lift handle up slightly, feeding just a little air into the lift assembly ensuring the lift rises slowly and smoothly. The lift shall be raised just enough that both tires are off the ground. Once the vehicle is raised enough where the tires leave the ground the inspector will release the lift handle into its neutral center position.

To lower the lift, push down on the lift handle. The handle should be pushed down forcefully and fully to allow maximum air to escape out of the lift assembly ensuring a quicker descent rate. Since the lift has a maximum descent rate, the lift is lowered at a controlled rate, so the inspector does not have to worry about the lift dropping too quickly which ensures that the vehicle is safely lowered. The lift handle should be held down until all the air extinguishes out of the lift and that the lift is completely lowered. The inspector shall always visually confirm that the lift plate is lowered fully and sitting completely on the ground before proceeding.

Since the lift is equipped with internal safety…
