(b) The #1 short rise pad lift, AMMCO Model B2250-no serial number, was missing the pins that attached the lift pads to the lift frame.

(d) The #3 short rise pad lift, AMMCO Model B2250-no serial number, was missing the pins that attached the lift pads to the lift frame. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is as follow: 1.
