Normal Lift Operation – To Enter Vehicle
Before operating lift, be certain vehicle is safely parked on a level area away from traffic. Provide at least
l
10 feet (3 meters) space for lift operation and passenger boarding.
The lift operator must take special care to ensure that area is clear before deploying platform. Be certain
l
there are no obstacles beneath platform.
Open lift compartment door completely.
l
FIGURE 11: LIFT COMPARTMENT DOOR
Open sliding door directly above lift compartment. This does not apply to models that stop upward
l
platform movement prior to reaching floor level. The sliding door on these models is opened after the
platform reaches intermediate height.
The vehicle and lift are equipped with a safety interlock system (i.e. transmission into neutral, parking
l
brake applied). Be certain that it is in the proper mode before attempting to operate lift. The lift will not
operate until this feature has been properly engaged.
Supply power to the wheelchair lift system first by depressing the power switch located on the dashboard.
l
NOTE
Whenever the wheelchair lift power switch is in the ON position, an interlock system prevents releasing of
the parking brake and a transmission inhibit feature prevents gear selection when either the lift
compartment door or the sliding door is open.
Enable lift control pendant by turning on POWER switch located on pendant.
l
A person that uses the wheelchair lift while standing (does not require mobility aid equipment) is referred
l
to in this manual as a Standee.
