EMERGENCY EVACUATION
PROCEDURE
Do not use the lift alone if you are not sure that you
can maintain pressure on the control buttons for the
duration of travel.
If using the lift alone, and you do not have the
optional phone equipped in the cab, it is best
practice to have a cell phone with you in case of a
malfunction that prevents the platform movement.
If the lift malfunctions while occupied:
•
Occupant should follow the directions located
next to the platform controls and never try to
evacuate the lift on their own.
•
Contact dealer and/or 911 (dealers phone
number is written on the label next to the cab
controls).
•
Push in the Red Emergency Stop button on the
cab control. If equipped, an alarm will sound.
Once help arrives, they should follow the Emergency
Lowering Procedure to evacuate the occupant.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
PROCEDURE
In the event that the lift becomes disabled with
passengers on the platform that is not at a landing,
it may be necessary/desirable to manually lower
them prior to a technician arriving.
In that case, a manual lowering mechanism is
located beneath the top cap of the lift. A person
other than the lift passenger(s) will be required to
make their way to the top of the tower to perform
this procedure.
1. Loosen seven (7) screws around the perimeter
of the top cap with a Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Lift the top cap partially and disconnect the
cable between the top cap at the control
board. Set the top cap aside. See Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8
3. Remove the two wingnuts holding down the
manual lowering tools (1/4" wrench and 1/4" x
3/8" drive socket). See Figure 6-9.
Platform lifts should not be used for evacuation
during emergencies.
CAUTION
!
Never exit an elevated platform unless it is fully
parked at a landing. Do not attempt to manually
lower the device while in the platform.
