When performing an emergency make up on the jacking system, from which point should the levers be used?
One operator holding down the override lever on the turret console, and the other operating the levers behind the flap on the rear of the appliance.
why do we have a standard test?
to give a measure by which to accept/refuse vehicles upon return to the station, and to ensure uniformity of the acceptance testing to ensure fitness for use.

explain the function of the axle locks?
they lock the rear suspension to the rear axle, forming a stable platform from which to work
how does the ladder judge how much projection it can achieve in relation to how much the jacking can deploy
