Lift Operating Instructions

Lift Operating Instructions

WARNING

Whenever a passenger is on the platform, the:

•Handrail belt must be latched

•Passenger must be positioned fully inside yellow boundaries

•Wheelchair brakes must be locked

•Inner roll stop and

outer barrier must be up.

Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Before lift operation, park the vehicle on a level surface, away from vehicular traffic. Place the vehicle transmission in “Park” and engage the parking brake. Open manual doors fully, being certain the doors are secured in the fully open position.

It is the responsibility of the lift operator (attendant) to prop- erly open, secure and close the vehicle lift doors, to activate any auxiliary interlock (if equipped), to load and unload the wheel- chair passenger (or standee) on and off the lift platform, and to properly activate all lift functions.

In event of power or equipment failure, refer to the Manual Oper- ating Instructions section.

Interlocking Restraint Belt: The NUVL604XB is equipped with an occupant restraint belt assembly (mounted to the lift handrails). Once the lift platform has extended fully from the stowed position, the belt must be latched in order to raise or lower the platform. During the Stow function, the belt must be unfastened after the platform raises or lowers to stow level and stops. With the belt unlatched, pressing the STOW switch then retracts the platform fully.

OPEN DOOR(S) AND SECURE

Manually open door(s) fully and secure.

TO DEPLOY PLATFORM:

1.Stand clear and press the UP switch until the platform stops (ex- tends fully). Release switch.

2.Fasten handrail belt.

3.Press the UP switch until the plat- form stops (raises to floor level) and inner roll stop unfolds to floor level. Release switch.

TO LOAD PASSENGER:

1. Read Notes below! Load passen- ger onto platform, lock wheelchair brakes and fasten handrail belt.

Note: Outer barrier must be fully unfolded (ramp position) until the entire wheelchair (or standee) has crossed the outer barrier.

Note: Passenger must be positioned fully inside yellow boundaries.

2. Press UP switch to fold outer bar- rier UP fully (vertical), raise the platform to floor level and unfold inner roll stop to floor level. Re- lease switch.

Hand-held Pendant Control:

The hand-held attendent's pendant control is equipped with four push button switches (DOOR, STOW, DOWN and UP). The momentary switches activate the automatic lift functions. Simply press the switch labeled for the intended function.

When there is power to the lift, the lift function labels illuminate to identify the functions.

Control Switch Functions:

UP: From the stowed position, pressing the UP switch deploys (extends) the platform fully. The restraint belt must then be fastened before the platform will raise. With the belt latched, pressing the UP switch then raises the platform to floor level height.

From ground level, the UP function will first au- tomatically raise (rotate) the outer barrier to the upright (vertical) position. The platform then raises to floor level position. Note: The lift will not raise if the restraint belt is not fastened or the outer barrier is not in the UP position (built-in safety features).

DOWN: The DOWN function lowers the platform to ground level and then unfolds the outer barrier to the ramp (horizontal) position. Note: The handrail belt must be latched to activate the DOWN function. From the stowed position, the lift will extend fully and stop. The restraint belt must then be fastened before the platform will lower.

STOW: When the STOW switch is pressed, the platform first raises or lowers to stow level, starts
