Operation Notes and Details
Lift Features (continued):
Interlock: Lift platform move- ment will be interrupted unless the barrier is raised and the outer barrier latch is positively engaged.
Outer Barrier and Latch Op- eration: The lift operator must activate the DOWN switch to lower the platform fully to the ground. The lift operator or at- tendant must view the platform as it lowers to be certain the entire platform reaches and rests safely on the ground. Stop activating the DOWN switch if any portion of the platform is ob- structed while descending or the platform does not reach ground level for any reason (contact with an obstruction, mechanical
failure, exceeding the lift “floor-
After the platform is fully lowered (platform reaches the ground), the lift operator should continue to press the DOWN switch to unfold the outer barrier and the side entry fully (ramp position).
Note: The outer barrier and side entry must be fully unfolded until the entire wheelchair has crossed when loading or unload- ing at ground level. Discontin- ue lift operation immediately if the barrier or latch do not operate properly.
Bridging: The NL955 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), prevent- ing the operator from lowering the inboard end of the platform.
Switch Arm: The switch arm automatically unfolds to the de- ployed position when the platform unfolds and folds automatically to the stowed position when the platform folds. The passenger may choose to grip the switch arm when on the lift platform.
Note: The switch arm is equipped with an UP/DOWN control switch (page 16). Discontinue lift operation immediately if the switch arm does not operate properly.
