Guarantee work on the Linear Lift must only be carried out with the prior agreement of AMF-Bruns GmbH & Co. KG. The costs of such work will not be accepted by AMF-Bruns without prior agreement. If damage occurs, AMF-Bruns GmbH & Co. KG will require the serial number, the year built as well as a description of the damage and if possible, a photograph of the damage.
(Proper use: see Sec- tion 1.1, page 7). The owner is responsible for ensuring that proper use is adhered to, in particular that the Linear Lift is only oper- ated by authorised persons. Page 10 of 76 Linear Lift AL1...

Description The platform of the Linear Lift AL1 Split is split lengthwise. When it is stowed in the driving position, the two halves of the platform separate (see Figure 5). Because of this, it is possible to enter and leave the vehicle by way of the door in which the Linear Lift is installed, even though the Linear Lift is in the vertical, stowed position.
Figure 1, page 13). The operating voltage for the motor is supplied by the starter battery. The hydraulic cylinders that are powered by the pump are located between the carrier arms. The hydraulic system can be manually operated in an emergency. Linear Lift AL1 Page 17 of 76...

The Linear Lift can fall over during transportation. There is a risk of personal injury and material damage. Therefore: Transportation of the Linear Lift is carried out by the manufacturer or by trained, experienced personnel. Page 22 of 76 Linear Lift AL1...
Installation / Commissioning Installation / Commissioning The Linear Lift must be installed in accordance with the AMF-Bruns Installation Instructions applicable to the vehi- cle in question. DANGER! Risk of injury through incorrect installation. A number of risks of personal injury and material damage can be caused if the Linear Lift is incorrectly installed in the vehicle.
Before driving off: Switch the Linear Lift OFF at the mas- ter switch. Before leaving the vehicle: Remove the ignition key, bring the Linear Lift to the stowed position, switch the Linear Lift OFF and lock the vehicle’s doors. Page 24 of 76 Linear Lift AL1...
Page 25
Therefore: never modify, bypass or remove protective and safety devices. Always refit protective and safety devices if they have been removed (e. g. for maintenance or repair pur- poses). Linear Lift AL1 Page 25 of 76...
When operating the Linear Lift, make certain that the door can not swing closed due to wind or other influ- ences. Insert the key into the battery isolation switch (5) (see Figure 9, page 26). Page 26 of 76 Linear Lift AL1...
Make sure that the centre of gravity of the wheelchair is in the centre of the platform (see Figure 10). This will prevent the Linear Lift from excessive wear. Linear Lift AL1 Page 27 of 76...
