Lift Terminology Description
The UVL Lift Series includes three classifications of lifts (UVL600 Series, UVL600X Series and UVL850 Series). Refer to the illustrations on pages 2 and 3 for the visual differences in lift configurations and identification of lift components.
UVL600 Series lift models are consumer oriented (intended for operation by the wheelchair passenger). UVL600X lift models are commercial oriented and ADA compliant (intended for operation by an attendant). UVL600 Series and UVL600X lift platforms raise and lower with an “arcing” motion. UVL600 Series lifts offer a variety of options including bridge plates (inboard roll stops) and handrails.
UVL850 Series lifts are commer-
cial oriented, ADA compliant and designed for use in vehicles with increased floor-to-ground requirements such as buses, trailers and motor homes. UVL850 lift platforms travel vertically straight up and down (no “arcing” motion).
UVL lift models provide fully automatic operation of all lift functions as well as optional automatic door operators (if so equipped). Basic lift operation procedures are identical for all UVL Series lift models. The operating instructions contained in this manual 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 (stationary and folding) that may
be present on your particular lift model. Instructions are provided for manual operation of the lift in event of power or equipment failure.
Terminology: Become familiar with the terminology that will be used throughout this manual.
Become familiar with the identification of lift components and their functions.
Direction:
The terms "left," "right," "inboard," and "outboard" will be used throughout this manual to indicate direction (as viewed from outside the vehicle looking directly at the lift outboard roll stop). Refer to the Lift Terminology Illustrations for clarification of direction terms.
Page 3
Lift Terminology
Lift Components:
Refer to the Lift Terminology Illustrations on pages 2 and 3.
Pump Module: The remote mounted pump module consists of the main hydraulic pump, the manual hand pump, the logic control board and other electrical components that power the lift electric/hydraulic systems.
Hand-held Switch Control Box:
The standard hand-held control switchbox is connected to the pump module. The control box is equipped with four push-button switches, (UP, DOWN, STOW, and DOOR CLOSE). The switches activate the fully automatic lift functions as well as optional automatic door operators (if so equipped). Details regarding the control switches and their functions are provided in the Lift Operation section (page 11).
Lift Housing: The lift housing is the metal structure (casing) mounted under the vehicle which contains and protects the platform carriage assembly. The housing contains all lift components
except the power (pump) module when the lift is in the stowed position.
Platform Carriage Assembly:
The platform carriage assembly includes the platform assembly, the lifting arms, the rolling horizontal arms that carry the platform assembly in and out of the housing and the electrical/ hydraulic drive components that power the lift.
Platform Assembly: The lift platform assembly consists of the flat aluminum plate with raised diamond embossing upon which the wheelchair is positioned, the outboard roll stop, the inboard roll stop (if so equipped) and optional handrails (if so equipped).
Outboard Roll Stop: The outboard roll stop is the automatic electric actuator-activated outer barrier that provides a ramp for wheelchair loading and unloading at ground level. Photos and further details regarding the outboard roll stop operation are provided in the Pre-Lift Operation Notes section (pages 7 and 8).
Bridge Plate (Inboard Roll Stop): UVL lift models are equipped with an automatic or manually operated bridge plate (except model UVL603A). The bridge plate bridges the gap between the lift platform and the vehicle floor. Bridge plates also serve as inboard roll stops.
Automatic bridge plates are fullyautomatic in operation and are activated by the lift control switches (no attendant required). Manual bridge plates must be operated by an attendant. Further details and instructions for operation of manual bridge plates are provided on page 12 of this manual.
Platform Cable-activated Manual Release System: A cable-activated manual release system releases the platform carriage assembly drive chain to allow the platform carriage assembly to be manually moved out (extended) or moved in (retracted), should it be necessary. Complete details and operating procedures are provided on pages 15-19.
Lift Actions and Functions:
Extend: Extend is the action of the platfom carriage assembly moving (rolling) out of the lift housing.
Retract: Retract is the action of the platfom carriage assembly moving (rolling) into the lift housing.
Deploy: Lift deployment is the action of the lift platform carriage assembly extending (moving outward) from the housing and lowering to ground level when the
DOWN switch is activated or raising to floor level when the UP switch is activated.
Stow: Stow is the action of the lift platform carriage assembly retracting (moving inward) into the carriage assembly housing. During the stow function, the platform will automatically raise or lower to stow level before retracting into the housing.
Stow Level: Stow level is the height that the platfom carriage
assembly moves in and moves out of the lift housing.
Floor Level: Floor level is the height that the platfom carriage assembly raises to in order for the wheelchair passenger to enter and exit the vehicle.
Note: Further details regarding lift control switches and the corresponding lift functions are provided in the Lift Operating Instructions on pages 10 and 11.
