Functions using the wirde remote control The wired remote control is connected to the vehicle and, through the vehicle, to the cassette lift by a flecible helix cable. All of the cassette lift functions can be controlles using the remote control, which has 7 operating buttons. There is the option to order a wireless remote control, on which buttons 1 to 3 are used.
9.1.2 Retract platform To retract the platform into the cassette press the button shown. When you let go of the button the movement is instantly halted. This button should not be used to put the platform away; use the „stow platform“ bitton for this purpose.
9.1.4 Lower plafrorm Press this button to lower the platform. When you let go of the button the movement is instantly halted. The platform must have been ecten- ded first. Abb. 12: lower 9.1.5 Let down roll stop device The roll stop device has a number of functions: It acts to precen the wheelchair rolling while the platform is being raised.
9.1.6 Draw up roll stop device When the platform is raised frol the lower position the roll stop device is automatically drawn up. however, it can also be manually draw up before raising the platform by pressing this button. When you let go of the button the movement is instantly halted.

1. Fold up electirc ramp If an electric ramp is fitted, press this button once (press the button briefly, do not hold it down) to fold it up. If ther is no electric ramp fitted, go straight to step 2!. 2. Locate retraction position If the platform is raised or lowered, when you press the button again (once the ramp - if fitted - has folded up), the platform either moves up or down until it reaches the retrac- tion position for the cassette. 3. Retract platform When you press the button again (after the retraction positon has been reached) the platform is automatically retracted into the cassette.
Wireless remote control Your lift can optionally be fitted with a wireless remote control. This al- lows you to operate all the main functions of the lift. It cannot be used to operate the electrical override.. Button 1 This button is used to lower the lift, irrespective of what position the platform is in. If it is retracted, the platform must first be extended be- fore lowering.

The electric emergency override is signalled optically and acoustically by a distinct rapid flashing and buzzer sequence (approx. 10Hz). After ...
11.2 Manual override If the vehicle electrical system fails (e.g. fue to a flat battery) there is the option to operate the cassette lift manually. The following facilities are probided for this purpose. The hydraulics box with the hydraulics uit for the lift movement can be found on the right-hand side (on the left for left-hand drive vehicles) in the cassette.
11.2.1 Lowering platform manually The hydraulic system incorporates an emergency relief valve to allow the platform to be lowered manually, independently of the controls. First remove the sealing plug. The valve is located behind the plug. It can be actuated using the supplied Allen key. The platform can also be lowered manually when loaded.
C A U T I O N Damage to the cassette lift due to missing flap safety.. › After inserting the cassette lift, attach the flap lock until the lift has been inspected in a workshop. 11.2.2 Raising platform manually The platform can be raised manually. First remove the sealing plug. Behind this you will find a small hand pump that is connected to the rest of the hydraulic system. The pump control element can be found behind the opening.
11.2.3 Manually release the extension/ retraction movement The electric drive for the extension/ retraction movement can be disen- gaged using the screw behind sealing plug. First remove the blanking plug. The screw can be actuated using the supplied Allesn key. Do not apply mote than slight pressure to the syrew once it reaches the mechanical stop in both directions! Once the motor has been disengaged using the screw, it is easy to slide...

C A U T I O N Damage to the cassette lift due to missind securing of the cas- sette in emergency mode. Insufficient security can cause the platform to leave the cassette and cause serious damage.. › Turn the screw back to its orginal position (to the left) and replace the sealing plug.
11.2.4 Manual operation of the roll stop device The roll stop device drive motor can be mechanically disconnected from the flap. For this pirpose, remove the spring clip and the small locking pon from the drive/ flap interface. (Shown here in retracted postition). The flap will now move freely at the front end of the platform.If the plat- form needs to be retracted into the cassette in this condition, the drive can be screwed into the drive housing by turning the position rod to the right, if it is extended when dismantled.
11.2.5 Flap security device If you have used the manual release for the extension/ retraction mo- vement, it is essentail to use the flap securtty device until the lift has been repaired! The mechanical emergency flap security device can be fitted on the left side of the cassette. It consists of a red metal angle and a knurled screw. Abb. 26: Corner safety Lid Once this step has been correctly carried out, it will not be possible to pull the platform out of the cassette and you can continue with your journey..
