Lift Specifications - Braun VISTA Series Installation & Service Manual

The following specifications are basic to the electrical/hydraulics operations. Further technical specifications
and details of components are provided in the Systems Descriptions and Troubleshooting sections
located within this manual.
The Lift Series Code: See the lift-posted Serial
No./Series No. Identification tag.
Hydraulic Pump: M258 factory-equipped with a
manual Backup Pump (hand pump).
Hydraulic Fluid: Dextron III automatic transmis-
sion fluid. Further hydraulic fluid specifications
are provided in the Systems Descriptions section.
Hydraulic Pump Pressure Relief Valve Setting:
M258 is factory set at 2100 psi. Note: See
The performance data contained within the Operations Cycle Time Charts on page 63 provide general
performance criteria. This information is compiled from tests conducted on standard VL917 Series lift
models meeting the following constant operational specifications.
1. Environmental temperature of 72° F. Extremely low temperatures can moderately affect cycle time.
2. A 400 pound platform load used in all Lower and Raise operations.
3. Fully charged 12 volt DC power source. Low voltage will moderately affect test results.
4. The Length of Travel dimensions reflect the Maximum Floor-to-Ground dimension for the particular lift
models specified in the Operations Cycle Time Charts. Note: The Length of Travel dimension will vary
with differing lift installation vehicle floor heights. All figures must be calculated per your particular Length
of Travel (floor-to-ground) dimension when comparing.
Platform Unfold (Out) - Platform unfolds from fully-stowed position to floor level position
Platform Lower - Platform only (with 400 lb. load) lowers from floor level position to fully-lowered (ground
level) position
Platform Raise - Platform only (with 400 lb. load) raises from fully-lowered (ground level) position to floor
level position (fully raised) position
Platform Fold (In) - Platform folds from floor level position to fully-stowed position
