Lift Operating Instructions address the lift control switches and the corresponding lift functions.

Separate instructions are provided for operation of manual bridge plates (inboard roll stops) and handrails that may be present on your particular lift model. Fold handrails down

before stowing lift.

In event of power or equipment failure, refer to the Manual

Operating Instructions section.

Before lift operation, park the vehicle on a level area, away from vehicle traffic. Place the vehicle transmission in “Park” and engage the parking brake.

Vehicle Lift Door(s): Open manual doors fully, being certain the doors are secured in the fully open position before operating the lift. If your vehicle is equipped with optional automatic door operators, the doors will open when the UP or DOWN switch is pressed. The automatic door operators will close when DOOR

CLOSE switch is pressed (only if the lift platform is in the fully stowed position).


Lift Control Switches:

The UVL

®

logic control system provides fully automatic operation of all lift functions as well as op-

tional automatic door operators (if so equipped).

Lift functions can be performed from any position the platform happens to be in at the time the switch button is pushed.

There are two types of hand controls available for the UVL - the standard hand-held control switchbox, or the optional remote control. Both types of controls are equipped with four push-button switches. The functions activated by both types of controls are the same. The switch functions are labeled. The function of each switch is described below.

Remote Control Note: The effective range of the remote control is 20 feet. A range further than 20 feet does not allow an attendant to observe and assist the lift passenger.

UP: From the stowed position, the LIFT UP function deploys (extends) the platform fully. The platform then raises to floor level height and moves inward to the vehicle floor level position (if applicable). Note:

When the lift is in the stowed position, power doors automatically open when the UP switch is pressed

(if so equipped).

From ground level, the LIFT UP function will first automatically raise (rotate) the outboard roll stop to the upright (vertical) position. Note: The lift will not raise if the roll stop is not in the UP position (built-in safety feature). The platform then raises to floor level height and moves inward to the vehicle floor level position. Note: UVL600 and UVL600X lift models move inward to floor level position with an

“arcing” motion. UVL850 Series lift models do not.

Note: The lift will not stow with weight on the platform (built-in safety feature).

Fold handrails down before stowing lift.


WARNING



DOOR CLOSE: When the vehicle is equipped with automatic door openers (optional), the DOOR

CLOSE switch closes the doors. This function operates only when the platform is stowed or fully extended and below stow level.

DOWN: The LIFT DOWN function lowers the platform to ground level (regardless of the position of the platform) and then unfolds the outboard roll stop to the ramp (horizontal) position. From the stowed position, the lift will extend and then lower.

Note: When the lift is in the stowed position, power doors automatically open when the DOWN switch is pressed (if so equipped).

STOW: The STOW LIFT function raises or lowers the platform to stow level and then moves the platform inward (retracts) to the stow position.

Note: If any of these functions do not occur as described, discontinue lift use immediately and contact your sales representative or call The Braun

Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT. One of our national service representatives will direct you to an authorized service repairman who will inspect your lift.

In event of power or equipment failure, refer to

Manual Operating Instructions to manually operate

Cable-Activated Platform Manual Release System

WARNING

Push T-handle in fully and manually move platform in and out to engage platform lock before driving vehicle.

Failure to lock platform may result in unintended platform deployment. Unintended platform deployment may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Platform Manual Release

System: A cable-activated manual release system releases and engages the platform carriage assembly drive chain to allow the platform carriage assembly to be manually moved out (extended) or moved in

(retracted) as needed. A Thandle is provided on the release cable for activation of the manual release system (details follow).

Failure to manually lock the platform carriage assembly (reengage the carriage assembly drive chain) after manual deployment, will allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during vehicle movement. Failure to lock the platform will also allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during hand pump raising and lowering procedures.

After manually moving the platform in or out, it is extremely important that the cable-activated manual release is positively reengaged to secure (lock) the platform carriage assembly before loading a passenger on the platform or before driving the vehicle (reengagement procedure outlined on following page).

After manually releasing platform, push manual release

T-handle in fully and ensure platform is locked before driving lift vehicle. Uncontrolled and unintentional platform deployment (inadvertent platform ejection) may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Page 15

WARNING




Note: The lift platform must be pushed back into its carriage compartment at least half-way before reverting back to normal

(powered) operation. When the lift is fully extended manually, it does not activate the proper switches for normal operation.

Returning (moving) the lift at least half-way in allows for proper switch activation.

and out when trying to raise or lower the platform with the hand pump.

Sales Representative: Instruct and demonstrate the proper reengagement procedure of the manual release for all new UVL owners at the point of sale or delivery. Remind the consumer of proper engagement procedures when giving telephone instructions.

Note: Before manually raising or lowering platform, be sure to reengage the release cable mechanism by loosening (turning) the “T” handle and pushing inward. Failure to place “T” handle in the original IN position will allow the platform to move in

Step-by-step instructions for manually moving the platform in and out, manually raising and lowering the platform and manually lowering (unfolding) the outboard roll stop are provided on the following pages.

Platform Carriage Assembly Drive Chain Reengagement Procedure:

After manually moving the platform in or out:

1. Turn (loosen) the manual release “T” handle.

2. Push the “T” handle in fully

(until handle bottoms out against its mounting bracket).

Read warning posted above!

3. Grasp the outer roll stop and move the platform in and out until the platform locks (chain release assembly engages), securing the platform carriage assembly within the housing.

You will feel the release mechanism engage.

2

To Manually Move Platform Out (Extend) From Stow Position:

1. Pull the “T” handle release cable outward.

2. Turn the “T” handle to lock platform into the released position.

3. Carefully pull the platform out to desired position.

Read warning posted above!

Before raising or lowering the platform, be sure to lock the platform. Reengage the release cable mechanism by loosening

(turning) the “T” handle and pushing inward. Failure to place

“T” handle in the original IN position (lock platform) will cause the platform to move in and out when trying to raise or lower the platform with the hand pump.

Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance is necessary to ensure safe and trouble-free lift operation. General preventive maintenance consisting of inspections of your lift system and cleaning the lift should be a part of your routine. When cleaning the lift, pay special attention to the roll stop opening, platform surface and bottom of platform. If mud, ice and/or snow build-up is apparent on platform surface, clean the area prior to use. Do not spray water inside of lift housing.

opening or building up on the platform surface.

The UVL has been designed with many self-lubricating components. Lubricate the pivot points specified below approximately every four weeks (or 100 cycles) with a light penetrating type oil

(30 weight or equivalent). Severe conditions (weather, environment, heavy usage, etc.) may require more frequent lubrication.

The lift-equipped vehicle should be stored in a garage or other sheltered place if possible, especially during inclement weather conditions. When the lift is not in use, the lift should be in the stowed position to keep foreign objects, rain, ice, snow, etc., from entering through the lift

Complete maintenance checks and lubrication procedures must be performed annually by an authorized Braun Corporation sale representative who has attended and been certified by

the Braun UVL Sales and

Service School. If the annual maintenance and lubrication procedures cannot be performed, or if there is any sign of lift
