Standees:
Lift Operating Instruc-
tions apply to wheelchair passen-
gers and standees. Standees
should stand in the center of the
platform (
fully inside the yellow
boundaries
) and grip both hand-
rails (if able) when on platform (if
so equipped).
Yellow Boundaries:
The passen-
ger
must
be positioned in the
center of the platform
to prevent
side-to-side load imbalance. The
lift attendant (operator) should not
ride on the platform with the
passenger.
Yellow platform loading boundaries
are identified in the following
manner. Yellow antiskid is affixed
to the outboard roll stop and the
outboard edge of the bridge plate
flap (all lift models). Yellow plastic
edge liner (u-molding) is positioned
on both platform side plates (all lift
models). Yellow plastic edge
liner (u-molding) is positioned on
fixed inboard roll stops
(L211UARS lift models only).
Yellow antiskid is affixed to the
inboard end of platforms that are
not equipped with an inboard roll
stop. L211UARS handrails have
yellow grips.
The attendant must always be
certain the wheelchair passenger
or standee is properly positioned
on the platform (
fully inside
yellow boundaries
) and the
wheelchair brakes are locked
when a passenger is on the lift
platform. Lift attendants must
ensure that lift occupants (pas-
sengers) keep hands, arms and
all other body parts within the lift
occupant area and clear of all
moving parts.
