Switches section).
Discontinue
lift operation immediately if the
handrails do not operate
properly.
Lift Passengers
Do not attempt to load or unload
a passenger in a wheelchair or
other apparatus that does not fit
on the platform area. Do not
exceed the 800 pound load
capacity of the lift.
Passenger Orientation (Board-
ing Direction):
The wheelchair
passenger
must
face outward
whenever on the platform.
The passenger must be posi-
tioned in the
center of the
platform
to prevent side-to-side
load imbalance. Other persons
should
not
ride on the platform
with the wheelchair passenger.
The wheelchair
brakes must be
locked
and the roll stop must be
in the
fully-up
(vertical) position
whenever a wheelchair passen-
ger is on the platform
.
Do not use the outboard roll stop
as a barrier (brake). Stop and
brake the wheelchair when fully
loaded on the platform. Manually
stop and brake manual wheel-
chairs. Stop powered wheelchairs
with the wheelchair controls. Turn
powered (electric) wheelchairs off
when on the platform.
Vehicle (Floor Level) Loading
and Unloading:
The platform
must be fully raised
(at floor
level) and the bridge plate must
be properly positioned when
loading or unloading a passenger
in or out of the vehicle. Although
the VL955 features automatic
floor level switching,
it is the
responsibility of the lift opera-
tor to ensure the platform and
the bridge plate are properly
positioned at floor level when
loading and unloading passen-
gers
.
If the roll stop, bridge plate,
handrails or any other lift compo-
nent does not operate as outlined
in this manual,
discontinue lift
use immediately
and contact
your sales representative or call
The Braun Corporation at 1-800-
THE LIFT. One of our national
Product Support representatives
will direct you to an authorized
service technician who will
inspect your lift.
