Lift Terminology
Pump Module:
The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the
hydraulic pump, the manual hand
pump and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hydrau-
lic systems.
Hand-held Control Switchbox:
The hand-held control switchbox
is connected to the pump mod-
ule. The control box is equipped
with two color-coded rocker
switches labeled UNFOLD (Out),
FOLD (In), UP and DOWN. The
switches activate the powered lift
functions. Details regarding the
control switches and their func-
tions are provided in the Pre-Lift
Operation Notes section (page
14).
Fold Actuator:
The electric
motor-driven actuator unfolds
and folds the platform when the
UNFOLD (Out)/FOLD (In) switch
is activated. The platform must
be in the fully-raised position
before the platform can be
unfolded or folded. Further
details in the Pre-Lift operation
section (pages 15 and 16).
Slide Tube Assembly:
The slide
tube assembly carries the
platform assembly as it lowers
and raises. The slide tube
assembly consists of two tele-
scoping slide tubes connected to
chain assemblies that travel up
and down inside the horseshoe,
the bottom support crossbar and
two platform mounting plates.
Platform Assembly:
The lift
platform carries the wheelchair
passenger (or standee) up and
down from ground level to the
vehicle floor. The lift platform
assembly consists of the frame
with grating surface upon which
the wheelchair is positioned, the
inboard roll stop (L211UARS lift
models), the outboard roll stop
and the handrails (if equipped).
Dual Handrails:
Dual handrails
are provided for wheelchair
passenger (or standee) use
(standard on L211 Series lift
models). The handrails are
mounted on the platform and
pivot as the lift unfolds and folds.
Outboard Roll Stop:
The
outboard roll stop is the auto-
matic chain-driven outer barrier
that provides a ramp for wheel-
chair loading and unloading at
ground level. Photos and further
