Operation Notes and Details
The latch disengages the barrier when the platform lowers fully (reaches ground level) and the latch foot contacts the ground (latch raises above the barrier).
Outer Barrier and Latch Op- eration: The lift 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 cer- tain the entire platform reaches and rests safely on the ground. Stop pressing the DOWN switch if any portion of the platform is obstructed while descending
or the entire platform does not reach ground level for any rea- son (contact with an obstruction, mechanical failure, exceeding WKHOLIW´ÁRRUWRJURXQGµFDSDFLW\ etc.).
After the platform is fully low- ered, the attendant should con- tinue to press the DOWN switch to unfold the outer barrier fully (ramp position). Note: The barrier must be fully unfolded until the entire wheelchair (or standee) has crossed the barrier when loading or unloading at ground level. Discontinue lift operation immediately if the outer barrier or latch do not operate properly.
Bridging: The NL 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), preventing the operator from lowering the inboard end of the platform.
Handrails: Dual handrails are provided for wheelchair pas- senger (or standee) use. The handrails unfold automatically to the deployed (horizontal) position when the lift unfolds and automatically fold to the stowed (vertical) position when the platform folds.
If able, passengers should grip both handrails when on the lift platform. Discontinue lift operation immediately if the handrails do not operate properly.
