Operation Notes and Details

Lift Passengers

Do not attempt to load or unload a passenger in a wheelchair or other apparatus that does not fit on the platform area. Do not exceed the 750 pound load capacity of the lift.

Passenger Orientation (Board- ing Direction): The wheelchair passenger must face outward whenever on the platform.

The passenger must be positioned in the center of the platform to prevent side-to-side load imbal- ance. Other persons should not ride on the platform with the wheelchair passenger.

The wheelchair brakes must be locked, the inboard locator and the outer barrier must be in the

fully-up(vertical) position, and the outer barrier latch must be fully engaged whenever a wheelchair passenger is on the platform.

Do not use the outer barrier as a brake. Stop and brake the wheelchair when fully loaded on the platform. Manually stop and brake manual wheelchairs. Stop powered wheelchairs with the wheelchair controls. Turn powered (electric) wheelchairs off when on the platform.

Interlock: An audible thresh- old warning will activate if the threshold area is occupied when the platform is one inch or more below the level. The threshold warning plate identifies the platform threshold area.

Vehicle (Floor Level) Loading and Unloading: The platform must be fully raised (at floor level) and the bridge plate must be properly positioned when loading or unloading a passenger in or out of the vehicle. Although the NL955 features automatic floor level switching, it is the responsibility of the lift opera- tor to ensure the platform and the bridge plate are properly positioned at floor level when loading and unloading passen- gers.

If the outer barrier, inboard locator or any other lift component does not operate as outlined in this manual, discontinue lift use im- mediately and contact your sales representative or call The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT®.
