LIFT TERMINOLOGY
DEPLOY (A-C)
A. UNFOLD (Out) - Platform Unfolds:
Unfold is the action of the platform
rotating out and down from the fully-
stowed (vertical) position to floor level
(horizontal) position when the UNFOLD
switch is pressed.
B. DOWN - Platform Lower:
Down is the action of the platform
lowering from floor level position to
fully-lowered (ground level) position
when the DOWN switch is pressed.
C. DOWN - Outer Barrier Unfold
(Deploy): When the platform reaches
the fully-lowered (ground) position
and the DOWN switch is continued to
be pressed, the outer barrier rotates
downward from vertical position to
ramp position.
STOW (D-F)
D. UP - Outer Barrier Fold (Raise):
When the lift is fully lowered and the
outer barrier is in the ramp position,
pressing the UP switch first rotates
the outer barrier upward from ramp
position to vertical position.
E. UP - Platform Raise: Up is the
action of the platform raising from
ground level to floor level (fully-raised)
position when the UP switch is pressed.
F. FOLD (In) - Platform Fold:
Fold is the action of the platform
rotating up and in from the floor level
(horizontal) position to fully- stowed
(vertical) position when the FOLD
switch is pressed.
STOWED POSITION: The lift is stowed
when the lift platform has been
fully raised and folded fully (vertical
position).
FLOOR LEVEL: Floor level is the
position (height) the platform assembly
reaches in order for the wheelchair
passenger to enter and exit the
vehicle (fully raised). The platform
automatically stops at floor level when
unfolding from the stowed position and
when raising from ground level.
