Lift Terminology
F. FOLD (In) - Platform Fold:
Fold is the action of the platform
rotating up and in from the
fl
oor
level (horizontal) position to fully-
stowed (vertical) position when
the FOLD switch is pressed.
Stowed Position:
The lift is
stowed when the lift platform has
been fully raised and folded fully
(vertical position).
Floor Level:
Floor level is the
position (height) the platform as-
sembly reaches in order for the
wheelchair passenger to enter
and exit the vehicle (fully raised).
The platform automatically stops
at
fl
oor level when unfolding from
the stowed position and when
raising from ground level.
