between the lift platform and the vehicle floor when the platform is positioned at floor level.
Dual Handrails: Dual handrails are provided for wheelchair passenger use. The handrails automatically unfold to the deployed position when the platform unfolds and fold auto- matically to the stowed position when the platform folds. The passenger may choose to grip the handrails when on the lift platform (if applicable). Note: An addi- tional UP/DOWN control switch is built into the right (front) handrail.
Platform Assembly: The lift “stacking” platform assembly is made up of an inboard platform section and an outboard platform section (each section consisting
of a steel tubing frame with grating surface). The outboard platform section is equipped with the outboard roll stop.
Automatic Roll Stop: The spring loaded automatic roll stop provides a ramp for wheelchair loading and unloading at ground level. Photos and further details regarding the outboard roll stop are provided in the
Manual Operation System: A manual backup hand pump is built into the pump module. The lift platform can be unfolded, lowered, raised and folded using the hand pump. Manual Opera- tion Instructions are provided on pages
