Squirrel S23 Service Form

All handrails are in place and firm, any handrail tube components missing/loose have been replaced/tightened to 10 Nm / 7.5 ft/lbs

The self-closing gate moves freely, automatically swinging shut and locking and the lock is effective. If required adjust the lock system, refer to the manufacturers website for instructions, www.ddtechglobal.com

The Back Safety Gate locates and closes easily.

If fitted with Go Base check that the bottom step rotates to effectively activate the Castor Brakes. Any issues check that the connecting bolts at either end of each actuating bar are tightened to 10Nm / 7.5 ft/lbs. These must not be loose but do not overtighten them as this will inhibit the activating action.

The castor brake locks, and directional locks or levelling jacks (if fitted) are functioning correctly. Occasionally castor brakes are affected by high wear of the tyres, if this is the case adjust the brake system as per the instructions on page 7 of the Owners
Manual.

If fitted with All Terrain system, check that the tyres are in good condition and that the jacks all function correctly

All floating treads rise/nest correctly and do not catch on anything. Any deformation damage that may cause issues has been removed/repaired.
