Entering the Lift
Once the lift has arrived at your landing, it is ready for you to enter. The doors will
automatically unlock when the platform arrives at the landing. The standard
interlock configuration is for the door to remain unlocked as long as the platform
is at that landing. An optional delay door lock configuration will lock the door
automatically when the lift has been idle for a certain period of time. The purpose
of automatic locking is to prevent unauthorized access to the interior of the lift in
areas where vandalism is a concern. Consult your authorized Garaventa service
representative if you wish to have the automatic locking feature activated.
Traveling Inside the Lift
1) Once you are safely settled on the platform, make sure that the door is closed
firmly.
2) Keyless Platform Operation – Push the directional control switch in the
direction you wish to travel. Remember that the switches are constant
pressure and that the lift will stop moving as soon as you release the switch.
When you reach the next landing, the platform will automatically stop and the
door at this landing will unlock as soon as you release the directional control
switch.
3) Platform Operation Key Switch (if equipped) – Insert your ADA compliant key
and turn it to the “ON” position. Follow procedure - step #2.
Exiting the Lift
1) When you have reached the desired landing and the lift has come to a stop,
turn the operation key switch (if equipped) to off, and remove your key. The
door interlock will disengage.
2) Push the door open and exit the lift.
Note: When you turn the platform operation key switch off, an exit timer is
automatically started. The purpose of the exit timer is to lock out the call station
controls, so that the first user will have time to exit the lift before another user can
call the platform. This is usually set for 10 seconds.
