Using your own wheelchair
,
operate the lift through all func-
tions and enter and exit the
vehicle with the sales represen-
tative on hand to ensure the lift
is right for you as the end user
(applicable for your use based
on your physical abilities and the
physical characteristics of your
personal wheelchair). Become
familiar with the proper operation
of your lift before operating the
lift by yourself.
This lift operator’s
manual must
be stored in the lift-mounted
manual storage pouch when
not in use
.
Maintenance is necessary to
ensure safe and trouble-free lift
operation. Preventive lift main-
tenance consisting of
careful
inspections of your lift system and
cleaning the lift should be a part
of your routine. Simple inspec-
tions can detect potential lift
operational problems.
Regular preventive maintenance
will reduce potential lift opera-
tion downtime and increase the
service life of the lift, as well as
enhancing safety.
During routine inspections, oper-
ate the lift through a minimum of
one complete cycle and note the
following:
• Do the automatic door(s) open
fully (if equipped)?
• Does the lift safely clear the
door(s) when unfolding and
folding?
• Do the lift control switches func-
tion properly?
• Do the automatic inboard loca-
tor and outer barrier operate
properly?
• Does the outer barrier latch
operate properly?
• Does the switch arm fuction
properly?
• Is the power source adequate or
weak?
