Manual Travel
Manual travel may be required when there is a power failure or an electrical fault,
which causes the lift to stop while someone is still on the platform in between
landings.
Manual Lowering Handwheel – Leadscrew
Model Only
The manual lowering handwheel has a black plastic handle
fitted to a keyed shaft. The manual lowering handwheel is
used to lower the platform in the event that mains power is
lost. The handwheel should be stored in a safe place, such
as the custodial room.
Manual Lowering Access Cap – Leadscrew Model Only
The manual lowering access cap is
located on the top cover of the drive
mast. It is a domed cover, which must
be popped off so that the manual
lowering handwheel can be inserted.
Make sure that the mains
power is disconnected
from the vertical lift before
removing the access cap.
If the main drive motor of
the lift were to start while the access cap
was removed, serious injury may result.
Insert the manual lowering handwheel
so the slot engages the cross pin
located near the top of the leadscrew.
Turn the handwheel in the clockwise
direction to raise the platform. Turn the
handwheel in counter-clockwise
direction will lower the platform.
Manual Lowering Access Cap
Replace the access cap
on the mast cover as
soon as you have finished
manually moving the
platform.
