OPERATION
STRATOS WITH ENCLOSURE: SECTION 3
RECOMMENDATIONS
Platform lifts should not be used for evacuation
during emergencies.
CAUTION !
Do not use the lift alone if you are not sure that you
can maintain pressure on the control buttons for the
duration of travel.
If using the lift alone, it is best practice to have a
cell phone with you in case of a malfunction that
prevents the platform movement.
If the lift malfunctions while occupied:
• Occupant should follow the directions in the
platform cab and never try to evacuate the
elevator on their own.
•
Contact dealer and/or 911 (dealers phone
number is written on the label next to the cab
controls).
• Push in the Red Emergency Stop button on the
cab control. If equipped, an alarm will sound.
Once help arrives, they should follow the Emergency
Lowering Procedure to evacuate the occupant.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
PROCEDURE
Never exit an elevated platform unless it is fully
parked at a landing. Do not attempt to manually
lower the device while in the platform.
WARNING !
In the event that the lift becomes disabled with
passengers on the platform that is not at a landing,
it may be necessary/desirable to manually lower
them prior to a technician arriving.
In that case, a manual lowering mechanism is
located beneath the top cap of the lift. A person
other than the lift passenger(s) will be required to
make their way to the top of the tower to perform
this procedure.
1.
Use disconnect to remove all power from lift.
The Stratos is supplied with manual lowering tools
that are located beneath the metal cover with
removable front cover. Remove these tools and store
them in a convenient location. See Figure 3-3.
