Platform Gate (optional)
The optional platform gate is provided with a combination mechanical lock and electric contact (interlock).
The interlock:
•Prevents the lift from running if the gate is not closed.
•Prevents the gate from being opened if the platform is not at the bottom landing.
•Unlocks when the lift is on the lower limit switch.
A crescent shaped key is provided to manually unlock the gate during installation. The key is inserted from the back side to lift up on the solenoid that holds the gated locked.
Mount the gate by placing onto the lower landing side of the platform. There are a number of attachment holes along the bottom and up the sides of the gate frame to attach to the platform and guard panels.
A wiring harness included on the gate will need to be routed along the gate frame, behind the rear guard panel and connected to it’s adjoining harness plug on the lift carriage. After wiring connection is made, the wiring harness must be plugged into it’s appropriate receptacle on the contoller (ref pg 5).
