Lift Frame: The lift frame con-
sists of the base plate, threshold
warning plate, towers, parallel
arms, vertical arms, platform
pivot arms and handrails. Two
main hydraulic cylinders are
housed in the parallel arms.
The electrical/hydraulic powered
lift frame components mechani-
cally unfold, lower, raise and fold
the lift platform assembly.
Platform Assembly: The plat-
form assembly consists of the
steel tubing frame with grating
surface upon which the wheel-
chair is positioned, the outer
barrier, outer barrier latch, the
inner roll stop, and the hydraulic
cylinder assembly that powers
the outer barrier.

Latches: The
spring-loaded latches prevent
the platform from unfolding from
the stowed position in the event
of platform drift. Further details
regarding Lift-Tite
™
latches are
provided on pages 16 and 17.
Outer Barrier: The cylinder-pow-
ered automatic outer barrier
provides a ramp for wheelchair
loading and unloading at ground
level. Photos and further details
regarding the outer barrier are
provided in the Operation Notes
section (pages 19-21).
Outer Barrier Latch: The
spring-loaded latch locks the out-
er barrier in the vertical position
when the platform raises above
ground level.
Lift Components

Illustration on page 4.
Pump Module: The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the hy-
draulic pump, the manual hand
pump, and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hy-
draulic systems.
Hand-held Pendant Control:
The hand-held attendant's
pendant control is connected to
the pump module. The hand-
held pendant is equipped with
two rocker switches, (UP/DOWN
and FOLD/UNFOLD). The
momentary switches activate the
automatic lift functions.
