landing floor for which the stop has been initiated regardless of load in car or direction of travel. The car leveling device shall automatically correct over travel as well as under travel and shall maintain the car floor within plus or minus 3 mm (1/8 in.) of level with the landing floor regardless of change in load. G. Insulation Resistance Test: The cartlift complete wiring system shall be free from short circuits and grounds and the insulation resistance of the system shall be determined by use of megohm meter, at the discretion of the Inspector conducting the test. H. Safety Devices Tests: Safety devices shall be tested. I. Overload Devices: Test all overload current protection devices in the system at final inspection. J. Limit Stops: 1. The position of the car when stopped by each of the normal limit stops with no load and with contract load in the car shall be accurately measured. 2. Final position of the cartlift relative to the terminal landings shall be determined when the cartlift has been stopped by the final limits. The lower limit stop shall be made with contract load in the cartlift. Cartlift shall be operated at inspection speed for both tests. Normal limit stopping devices shall be inoperative for the tests. K. Working Pressure: Verify working pressure of the hydraulic system by pressure gauge placed in the system line. Take readings with no load and full load in car. L. Test automatic shut-off valve for proper operation. M. Operating and Signal System: The cartlift shall be operated by the operating devices provided and the operation signals and automatic floor leveling shall function in accordance with requirements specified. Starting, stopping and leveling shall be smooth and comfortable without appreciable steps of acceleration or deceleration. N. If equipment fails test requirements and a re-inspection is required, the Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of re-inspection; salaries, transportation expenses, and per-diem expenses incurred by the representative of the Resident Engineer. 3.7 INSTRUCTION OF A. Provide competent instruction to VA personnel regarding the operation of equipment and accessories installed under this contract, for a
