Hand-Held Switch Control Box:

Lift Terminology

The “quick-disconnect” hand-held control switchbox is connected to the pump module. “Quick- disconnect” hand-held controls are available with three types of cable (standard, armored and coiled).

The control box is equipped with two color-coded rocker switches, (UNFOLD/FOLD and DOWN/UP). The switches activate the auto- matic lift functions. Details regarding the control switches and their functions are provided in the Pre-Lift Operation section (page 14).

Lift Frame: The lift frame consists of the base plate, two towers, the parallel arms, the vertical arms, platform pivot arms and the handrails. The two main

hydraulic cylinders are housed in the parallel arms. The electrical/ hydraulic powered lift frame components mechanically unfold, lower, raise and fold the lift platform assembly.

Platform Assembly: The lift platform assembly consists of the steel tubing frame with grating surface upon which the wheel- chair is positioned, the outboard roll stop, roll stop latch, the inboard roll stop (fixed inboard roll stop models only), and the hydraulic cylinder assembly that powers the outboard roll stop.

Lift-TiteLatches: The spring loaded latches prevent the platform from unfolding from the stowed position in the event of platform drift. Further details
