Lift Passengers; Passenger Orientation (Boarding Direction); Vehicle (Floor Level) Loading And Unloading - Braun L955 Operator's Manual

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details

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, the roll stops must be in
Page 20
the fully-up (vertical) position and
the outboard roll stop latch must
be fully engaged whenever a
wheelchair passenger 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 wheel-
chairs with the wheelchair con-
trols. 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 L955 features automatic floor
level switching, it is the respon-
sibility of the lift operator to
ensure the platform and the
bridge plate are properly
positioned at floor level when
loading and unloading passen-
gers.
If the roll stops, 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.
