Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details

wheelchair passengers or standees. Inboard facing of wheelchair lift passengers is not prohibited, but outboard facing of passengers is recommended by The Braun Corporation (all lift models).

Braun L211UARS Series ADA certified lifts permit both inboard and outboard facing of wheelchair and mobility aid users and accommodate persons using walkers, crutches, canes or braces or who otherwise have difficulty using steps as specified in Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Specifications For Transportation Vehicles-Part 38.

Standees: Lift Operating Instruc- tions apply to wheelchair passen-

gers and standees. Standees should stand in the center of the platform (fully inside the yellow boundaries) and grip both hand- rails (if able) when on platform (if so equipped).

Yellow Boundaries: The passen- ger must be positioned in the center of the platform to prevent side-to-side load imbalance. The lift attendant (operator) should not ride on the platform with the passenger.

Yellow platform loading boundaries are identified in the following manner. Yellow antiskid is affixed to the outboard roll stop and the outboard edge of the bridge plate flap (all lift models). Yellow plastic edge liner (u-molding) is positioned on both platform side plates (all lift

models). Yellow plastic edge liner (u-molding) is positioned on fixed inboard roll stops (L211UARS lift models only). Yellow antiskid is affixed to the inboard end of platforms that are not equipped with an inboard roll stop. L211UARS handrails have yellow grips.

The attendant must always be certain the wheelchair passenger or standee is properly positioned on the platform (fully inside yellow boundaries) and the wheelchair brakes are locked when a passenger is on the lift platform. Lift attendants must ensure that lift occupants (pas- sengers) keep hands, arms and all other body parts within the lift occupant area and clear of all moving parts.
