Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details
Roll Stop Latch: A spring- loaded latch engages the out- board roll stop when the roll stop rotates upward from ramp posi- tion to the vertical position (UP switch is pressed to raise the platform above ground level). Note: The platform must raise approximately two inches before the latch engages fully (see photos on previous page).
The latch disengages the roll stop when the platform lowers fully (reaches ground level) and the latch foot contacts the ground (latch raises above the roll stop).
Outboard Roll Stop and Roll Stop Latch Operation: The lift operator (attendant) must press the DOWN switch to lower the
platform fully to the ground. The attendant must view the platform as it lowers to be certain the entire platform reaches and rests safely on the ground. Stop pressing the DOWN switch if any portion of the platform is ob- structed while descending or the entire platform does not reach ground level for any reason (contact with an obstruction, mechanical failure, exceeding the lift
After the platform is fully lowered (entire platform reaches the ground), the attendant should continue to press the DOWN switch to unfold the outboard roll stop fully (ramp position). Note: The roll stop must be fully
unfolded until the entire wheel- chair (or standee) has crossed the roll stop when loading or unloading at ground level.
Discontinue lift operation immediately if the roll stop or latch do not operate properly.
Bridging: The L915 incorpo- rates a bridging feature. This feature stops the down travel of the platform if the outboard end of the platform contacts a raised surface (such as a curb), pre- venting the operator from lower- ing the inboard end of the platform.
Handrails: Dual handrails are provided for wheelchair passen- ger (or standee) use. The handrails unfold automatically to
