Operation Notes and Details
After the platform is fully low-
ered, the attendant should
continue 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 op-
eration immediately if the outer
barrier or latch do not operate
properly.
Bridging:
The NL-2 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.
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 certain
the entire platform reaches and
rests safely on the ground. Stop
pressing the DOWN switch if any
portion of the platform is ob-
structed while descending or the
entire platform does not reach
ground level for any reason
(contact with an obstruction, me-
chanical failure, exceeding the lift
“
fl
oor-to-ground” capacity, etc.).
Handrails:
Dual handrails are
provided for wheelchair pas-
senger (or standee) use. The
handrails unfold automatically
to the horizontal position when
the lift unfolds and automati-
cally fold to the vertical position
when the platform folds.
If able, passengers should grip
both handrails when on the lift
platform. Discontinue lift opera-
tion immediately if the handrails
do not operate properly.
