Bridging; Handrails - Braun L955 Operator's Manual

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details
operator must activate the
DOWN switch to lower the
platform fully to the ground. The
lift operator or attendant must
view the platform as it lowers to
be certain the entire platform
reaches and rests safely on the
ground. Stop activating the
DOWN switch if any portion of
the platform is obstructed while
descending or the platform does
not reach ground level for any
reason (contact with an obstruc-
tion, mechanical failure, exceed-
ing the lift "floor-to-ground"
capacity, etc.).
After the platform is fully lowered
(platform reaches the ground),
the lift operator should continue
to press the DOWN switch to
unfold the outboard roll stop and
the side entry roll stop fully
(ramp position). Note: The roll
stops must be fully unfolded
until the entire wheelchair has
crossed the roll stops when
loading or unloading at ground
level. Discontinue lift opera-
tion immediately if the roll
stops or latch do not operate
properly.
Bridging: The L955SE incorpo-
rates a bridging feature. This
feature stops the down travel of
the platform if the outboard end
of the platform contacts a raised
surface (such as a curb), pre-
venting the operator from lower-
ing the inboard end of the
platform.
Handrails: Dual handrails are
provided for wheelchair passen-
ger (or standee) use. The
handrails automatically unfold to
the deployed position when the
platform unfolds and fold auto-
matically to the stowed position
when the platform folds. The
passenger may choose to grip
the handrails when on the lift
platform (if applicable).
Note: The right (front) handrail
is equipped with an UP/DOWN
control switch (details in Control
Switches section). Discontinue
lift operation immediately if
the handrails do not operate
properly.
