After the platform is fully lowered
(platform reaches the ground),
the lift operator should continue
to press the DOWN switch to
unfold the outer barrier and the
side entry
fully
(ramp position).
Note:
The outer barrier and side
entry

Discontin-
ue lift operation immediately
if the barrier or latch do not
operate properly.
Bridging:
The NL955 incorpo-

feature stops the down travel of
the platform if the outboard end
of the platform contacts a raised
surface (such as a curb), prevent-
ing the operator from lowering the
inboard end of the platform.
Switch Arm:
The switch arm
automatically unfolds to the de-
ployed position when the platform
unfolds and folds automatically
to the stowed position when the
platform folds. The passenger
may choose to grip the switch arm
when on the lift platform.
Note:
The switch arm is equipped
with an UP/DOWN control switch
(page 16).
Discontinue lift
operation immediately if the
switch arm does not operate
properly.
Interlock:
Lift platform move-
ment will be interrupted unless
the barrier is raised and the
outer barrier latch is positively
engaged.
Outer Barrier and Latch Op-

ground. The lift operator or at-
tendant
must view
the platform

rests safely on the ground. Stop
activating the DOWN switch if
any portion of the platform is ob-
structed while descending or the
platform does not reach ground
level
for any reason
