CONTROL VOLTAGE
SAFETY SERVICE SWITCH “HOOD SWITCH”
4.1.
For lifts taller than 72”, refer to the PASSPORT® Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) Installation Supplement for 120”
(10’), 144” (12’), and 168” (14’).
4.2.
The VPL comes with a control voltage safety service switch (“hood switch”), a control voltage disconnect
(“switch”) that is located under the power head cover (“hood”) as shown (FIG. 4.1).
4.3.
This hood switch is a magnetic reed switch which works in conjunction with a magnet mounted to the inside of the hood on the angle. When the hood is installed on the VPL, the magnet is in proximity to the hood switch, causing the hood switch contacts to close, enabling control voltage to the control box.
4.4.
When the hood is removed, the magnet is no longer in proximity to the switch, causing the switch to open, disabling control voltage to the control box.
4.5.
When servicing the VPL, the installer may find it necessary to enable the control circuit power with the hood off. This can be accomplished as follows (FIG. 4.2):
4.5.1
Unplug Connector “A” from Fuse Block Tab “F4” .
4.5.2
Unplug Connector “C” from Connector “D” .
4.5.3
Plug Connector “C” to Fuse Block Tab “F4” .
Disabling the hood switch keeps the VPL control circuit energized. The VPL is electrically active in this state and will operate if the control buttons are pressed or if the control circuit is inadvertently jumpered.
Disable the hood switch at your own risk!
Always enable the hood switch electrical system when service is complete.
The hood switch does not remove battery power from the VPL motor circuit, only the control circuit.

TOP LANDING GATE
9.1.
Always plan/lay out the installation site before beginning the actual installation. Consider the direction of the top landing gate swing and the top landing gate’s position on the porc h or deck with respect to where the VPL will be installed.
A smooth fascia panel is required to fill the area underneath the top landing gate (between the porch or deck and the ground). It is the installer’s responsibility to construct this fascia or confirm an existing fascia meets applicable codes.
Verify and follow all applicable codes and regulations regarding use of a top landing gate with a
VPL.
Never use the top landing gate for uses other than its intended function.
With the exception of adding the top landing gate latch cover, do not modify the top landing gate or latching mechanism.
Do not operate the top landing gate latch manually while the VPL is in operation.
Do not block the top landing gate open or closed.
Keep the area around the top landing gate free of debris.
Do not play on or around the top landing gate or attach foreign objects to the top landing gate.
Keep hands and other body parts clear of pinch points at all times.
Use only recommended fasteners and attachment points for anchoring the top landing gate.
Call your dealer for service if the top landing gate does not fully close unassisted and do not use until repairs have been completed by an EZ-ACCESS approved technician.
9.2.
TOP LANDING GATE WITH TURN PLATFORM
9.2.1.
When using a top landing gate with a turn platform, the gate latch must be on the same side as the side guard wall (FIG. 9.1).
The top landing gate will not span the entire length of a turn platform at the upper landing. It is the installer ’ s responsibility to fill this area completely, making sure the side facing the lift is smooth, and also to reinforce all existing handrails and guardrails
structurally, if needed (FIG. 9.1).
9.3.
ASSEMBLY
9.3.1.
The top landing gate is factory assembled with the hinges either on the right or the left, depending on the model ordered.
9.3.2.
The top landing gate requires a section of landing 50” wide. M odifications to your decking/railings may be required.
9.4.
INSTALLATION
9.4.1.
The area between the ground and the porch or deck where the VPL Platform will travel must be closed. Consult local building codes and close this area as required.
9.4.2.
Install the VPL as described elsewhere in the manual.
9.4.3.
The side of the VPL platform adjacent to the fascia must be between 3/8 ” and 3/4” from the porch or deck.
9.4.4.
The front or rear guard wall of the straight platform or the side guard wall of the turn platform must align with the latch roller on the top landing gate, depending on which way the top landing gate opens (FIG. 9.1, FIG. 9.2, and FIG. 9.3).

9.4.6.
Place the top landing gate on the porch or deck and adjust its position side to side until the front or rear guard wall of the platform aligns with the latch roller on the top landing gate
without hitting the latch (FIG. 9.3).
9.4.6.1.
It is recommended that this be done with weight on the VPL platform approximately equal to the VPL user’s weight since the platform has a built -in 1° angle which may affect the alignment.
9.4.7.
Once the top landing gate is positioned correctly, attach to the porch or deck.
FIG. 9.3
\
Page | 28
9.4.8.

FIG. 9.5
9.4.10.
Before connecting the top landing gate cord, the VPL platform must be set at the upper landing level. Proceed with Steps 7.9 through 7.18 in SECTION 7 if not already complete.
9.4.11.
Connect the top landing gate cord to VPL by first removing rear cover. There will be a cord with a 4-pin connector inside the tower located in the area where the power cord exits the tower.
9.4.11.1.
Bring the cord out of the tower and remove the top landing gate jumper plug from the connector. Connect the top landing gate cord and tuck the
connected plug back inside the tower (FIG. 9.5).
There is also a cord with a 3-pin connector in this area for connecting the call/send control. Leave this cord inside the tower unless installing a call/send control.
9.4.12.
Re-install rear cover with the notch in the lower right corner (looking at the back of the VPL).
9.4.13.
Secure the top landing gate cord to porch or deck in such a manner that it will not interfere with the VPL or top landing gate operation, nor pose a tripping hazard.
9.4.14.
Run the VPL platform down, below t he landing by approximately 12”.
9.4.15.
Manually hold the top landing gate latch in the open position while simultaneously depressing the UP button on the control box. The VPL platform should not operate and the top landing gate indicator should be illuminated. Release the top landing gate latch. The top landing gate indicator light should go off and upward travel should now be possible.
9.4.16.
Run the VPL several times through its entire travel limits. Make sure that the top landing gate is unlatched when the platform reaches the upper landing. If the VPL platform does not stop level with the upper landing, refer to SECTION 7 and adjust the upper limit accordingly.
9.4.17.
Confirm the Top Landing Gate is latched when the platform travels in the downward direction, a maximum of 2” below the landing.
