Manual Operating Instructions
The UVL has the capability of being manually operated. If you experience power or equipment failure, refer to the Manual Operating Instructions to manu- ally operate the lift. Refer to the Lift Operating Instructions for all normal lift operation procedures (such as loading and unloading passengers). Follow all Lift
Operation Safety Precautions at all times!
Familiarize yourself with the components necessary to operate the Manual Back-Up System (see illustration at right and photos on pages 17 and 18). The location of the power pack and release cable varies from vehicle to vehicle (depending on your particular installation).
The T-handle release cable releases and engages the lift platform to allow the platform to
be manually extended and retracted. The manual back-up pump (hand pump) is used to manually lower and raise the extended platform.
Step-by-step instructions for manually moving the platform in and out, manually raising and lowering the platform and manually lowering (unfolding) the outboard roll stop are provided on the following pages. Refer to the applicable Manual Operation instructions for detailed procedures.
Always exercise extreme caution when operating the lift manually.
Read the warning and the safety information below and on the following page! Read all Manual Operating Instructions before attempting to perform manual operation procedures.

Cable-Activated Platform Manual Release System
WARNING
Push T-handle in fully and manually move platform in and out to engage platform lock before driving vehicle. Failure to lock platform may result in unintended platform deployment. Unintended platform deployment may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Platform Manual Release System: A cable-activated manual release system releases and engages the platform car- riage assembly drive chain to allow the platform carriage assembly to be manually moved out (extended) or moved in (retracted) as needed. A T- handle is provided on the release cable for activation of the manual release system (details follow).
After manually moving the platform in or out, it is extremely important that the cable-activated manual release is positively re- engaged to secure (lock) the platform carriage assembly before loading a passenger on the platform or before driving the vehicle (reengagement procedure outlined on following page).
Failure to manually lock the platform carriage assembly (re- engage the carriage assembly drive chain) after manual deploy- ment, will allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during vehicle movement. Failure to lock the platform will also allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during hand pump raising and lowering procedures.
After manually releasing platform, push manual release T-handle in fully and ensure platform is locked before driving lift vehicle. Uncon- trolled and unintentional platform deployment (inadvert- ent platform ejection) may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
