Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details
The Braun Corporation recom-
mends wheelchair passengers
position and buckle their wheel-
chair-equipped seat belt (torso
restraint)
before
loading onto a
wheelchair lift.
Different types of disabilities
require different types of wheel-
chairs and different types of
wheelchair-equipped occupant
restraint belt systems (torso
restraints). It is the responsibility
of the wheelchair passenger to
have his or her wheelchair
equipped with an occupant
restraint (seat belt) under the
direction of their health care
professional.
Wheelchair lift attendants should
be instructed on any special
needs and/or procedures required
for safe transport of wheelchair
passengers.
Operation Procedure Review
The Braun Corporation recom-
mends that transit agency
supervisors and wheelchair lift
attendants review the safety
precautions and operation
procedures appearing in this
manual and on lift-posted
decals with your wheelchair lift
sales representative (dealer),
before
attempting lift operation.
Any questions or concerns can
be answered by the sales
representative at that time.
Operate the lift through all
functions with your sales repre-
sentative on hand to ensure the
proper use and operation of the
wheelchair lift is understood.
WARNING
Position and secure
(buckle, engage,
fasten, etc.) the
wheelchair-equipped
occupant seat belt
before loading onto
the wheelchair lift
platform. Failure to
do so may result in
serious bodily injury
and/or property
damage.
