Lift Terminology

Introduction:

Braun L915 Millennium Series
lifts are ADA compliant and
commercial oriented (intended for
operation by an attendant). The
L915 Millennium Lift Series
includes variations of lift models
L915, L916, L917, L918 and
L919. Model numbers indicate
lift dimensions and options.

Lift model numbers with suffix
“IB” are equipped with an auto­matic mechanical inboard roll
stop that also serves as the
bridge plate (shown in the Lift
Terminology Illustration on page

6). Lift model numbers without
suffix “IB” feature a combination
stationary inboard roll stop with
an independent hinged bridge
plate. Inboard roll stop and

bridge plate details follow.

L915 Series lift models can be
equipped with left or right side
pump modules as needed. Lift
model numbers with suffix “F” are
right side (front) pump-equipped
and model numbers without suffix
“F” are equipped with a left side
(rear) pump. Left side pump­equipped lift models are depicted
in both Lift Terminology Illustra­tions. Right side pump lift
models are a mirrored image of
rear pump models (pump module
located on opposite end of base
plate).

Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustrations for the visual differ­ences in lift configurations and
identification of lift components.

Lift operation procedures are
identical for all L915 Series lift
models. The operating instruc­tions contained in this manual
and appearing on lift-posted
operating instructions decals
address the lift control switches
and the corresponding lift func­tions. 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. Contact your lift
sales representative or call The
Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE
LIFT if any of this information is
not fully understood.

Lift Terminology

Direction: The terms "left (rear),"
"right (front)," "inboard," and
"outboard" will be used through­out this manual to indicate
direction (as viewed from outside
the vehicle looking directly at the
lift). Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustrations for clarification of
direction terms.

Lift Components

Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustrations on pages 6 and 7.

Pump Module: The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the
hydraulic pump, the manual hand
pump and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hydrau­lic systems.

Hand-Held Switch Control Box:

The “quick-disconnect” hand-held
control switchbox is connected to
the pump module. “Quick­disconnect” hand-held controls
are available with three types of
cable (standard, armored and
coiled).

The control box is equipped with
two color-coded rocker switches,
(UNFOLD/FOLD and DOWN/UP).
The switches activate the auto­matic lift functions. Details
regarding the control switches
and their functions are provided in
the Pre-Lift Operation section
(page 14).

Lift Frame: The lift frame
consists of the base plate, two
towers, the parallel arms, the
vertical arms, platform pivot arms
and the handrails. The two main

hydraulic cylinders are housed in
the parallel arms. The electrical/
hydraulic powered lift frame
components mechanically unfold,
lower, raise and fold the lift
platform assembly.

Platform Assembly: The lift
platform assembly consists of the
steel tubing frame with grating
surface upon which the wheel­chair is positioned, the outboard
roll stop, roll stop latch, the
inboard roll stop (fixed inboard roll
stop models only), and the
hydraulic cylinder assembly that
powers the outboard roll stop.

Lift-Tite™ Latches: The spring
loaded latches prevent the
platform from unfolding from the
stowed position in the event of
platform drift. Further details

Page 3

Lift Components (continued)

Lift Terminology

regarding Lift-Tite™ latches are
provided on pages 15 and 16.

Outboard Roll Stop: The
cylinder-powered automatic
outboard roll stop provides a
ramp for wheelchair loading and
unloading at ground level. Pho­tos and further details regarding
the outboard roll stop are pro­vided in the Pre-Lift Operation
Notes section (pages 20 and 21).

Roll Stop Latch: The spring­loaded latch locks the outboard
roll stop in the vertical position
when the platform raises above
ground level.

Page 4

Automatic Inboard Roll Stop
and Bridge Plate (IB): L915 “IB”

lift models are equipped with an
automatic mechanical inboard roll
stop that also serves as the
bridge plate (shown in the Lift
Terminology Illustration on page

6). The mechanical roll stop/
bridge plate automatically rotates
from the horizontal (bridging)
position to the vertical (roll stop)
position as the lift lowers and
raises. Further details regarding
the automatic mechanical inboard
roll stop are provided on pages
17 and 18.

Fixed Inboard Roll Stop: A
stationary inboard roll stop is built
into “non-IB” L915 lift platforms
(shown in the Lift Terminology
Illustration on page 7).

Independent Hinged Bridge
Plate: “Non-IB” L915 lift models

are equipped with an independent
hinged bridge plate (shown in the
Lift Terminology Illustration on
page 7). The bridge plate bridges
the gap between the lift platform
and the vehicle floor. Further
details regarding the bridge plate
are provided on pages 17 and 18.

Lift Terminology

Lift Actions and Functions

UNFOLD (Out) - Platform
Unfold: 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.

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.

DOWN - Roll Stop Unfold
(Deploy) - When the platform

reaches the fully-lowered
(ground) position and the DOWN
switch is continued to be pressed,

the outboard roll stop rotates
downward from vertical position
to ramp position.

UP - Roll Stop Fold (Raise):

When the lift is fully lowered and
the roll stop is in the ramp posi­tion, pressing the UP switch first
rotates the roll stop upward from
ramp position to vertical position.

UP - Platform Raise: Up is the
action of the platform raising from
ground level to floor level (fully­raised) position when the UP
switch is pressed.

FOLD (In) - Platform Fold: Fold
is the action of the platform
rotating up and in from the floor
level (horizontal) position to fully­stowed (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.

Note: Further details regarding
lift control switches and the
corresponding lift functions are
provided in the Pre-Lift Operation
Notes and Details section.

Discontinue lift operation
immediately if the roll stop
does not operate properly.

Fully-Unfolded Roll Stop (Ramp position)

Page 20

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details

Roll Stop Latch: A spring­loaded latch engages the out­board roll stop when the roll stop
rotates upward from ramp posi­tion to the vertical position (UP
switch is pressed to raise the
platform above ground level).
Note: The platform must raise
approximately two inches before
the latch engages fully (see
photos on previous page).

The latch disengages the roll stop
when the platform lowers fully
(reaches ground level) and the
latch foot contacts the ground
(latch raises above the roll stop).

Outboard Roll Stop and Roll
Stop Latch Operation: The lift

operator (attendant) must press
the DOWN switch to lower the

platform fully to the ground. The
attendant must view the platform
as it lowers to be certain the
entire platform reaches and
rests safely on the ground. Stop
pressing the DOWN switch if any
portion of the platform is ob­structed while descending or the
entire platform does not reach
ground level for any reason
(contact with an obstruction,
mechanical failure, exceeding the
lift “floor-to-ground” capacity,
etc.).

After the platform is fully lowered
(entire platform reaches the
ground), the attendant should
continue to press the DOWN
switch to unfold the outboard roll
stop fully (ramp position). Note:
The roll stop must be fully

unfolded until the entire wheel­chair (or standee) has crossed
the roll stop when loading or
unloading at ground level.

Discontinue lift operation
immediately if the roll stop or
latch do not operate properly.

Bridging: The L915 incorpo-

rates a bridging feature. This
feature stops the down travel of
the platform if the outboard end
of the platform contacts a raised
surface (such as a curb), pre­venting the operator from lower­ing the inboard end of the
platform.

Handrails: Dual handrails are
provided for wheelchair passen­ger (or standee) use. The
handrails unfold automatically to

Page 21

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details

Lift Features (continued)

the deployed (horizontal) position
when the lift unfolds and auto­matically fold to the stowed
(vertical) position when the
platform folds.

Passengers should grip both
handrails when on the lift platform

if able. Discontinue lift opera-
tion immediately if the hand­rails do not operate properly.

Lift Passengers

If you are an attendant operating
the lift, it is your responsibility to
perform safe loading and unload­ing procedures. Wheelchair lift
attendants should be instructed
on any special needs and/or

procedures required for safe
transport of wheelchair passen­gers.

The lift operator and bystanders
must keep clear of the area in
which the lift operates. Observe
your passenger at all times during
lift operation.

Do not attempt to load or unload
a passenger in a wheelchair or
other apparatus that does not fit
on the platform area. Do not
exceed the 800 pound load
capacity of the lift. The lift
attendant should not ride on the
platform with the passenger.

Passenger Orientation (Board­ing Direction): Braun L915
Series ADA wheelchair lifts fully

comply with the ADA require-

ment that the lift accommodate
both inboard and outboard facing
wheelchair passengers or
standees. Inboard facing of
wheelchair lift passengers is not
prohibited, but outboard facing
of passengers is recommended
by The Braun Corporation.

Braun L915 Series ADA certified
lifts permit both inboard and
outboard facing of wheelchair and
mobility aid users and accommo­date persons using walkers,
crutches, canes or braces or who
otherwise have difficulty using
steps as specified in Americans
With Disabilities Act (ADA)
Accessibility Specifications For
Transportation Vehicles-Part 38.

Page 22

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details

Standees: Lift Operating Instruc­tions apply to wheelchair passen­gers and standees. Standees
should stand in the center of the
platform (fully inside the yellow
boundaries) and grip both
handrails (if able) when on plat­form.

Yellow Boundaries: The passen­ger must be positioned in the
center of the platform to prevent
side-to-side load imbalance. The
lift attendant (operator) should not
ride on the platform with the
passenger.

Yellow platform loading bound­aries are identified in the following
manner. Yellow plastic edge liner
(u-molding) is positioned on
platform side plates of all lift

models. Yellow edge liner is
positioned on fixed inboard roll
stops also. Yellow plastic caps are
placed on the dual handrails.

A yellow boundary strip decal is
affixed to extruded aluminum
outboard roll stops. Yellow anti­skid is affixed to nonextruded steel
outboard roll stops. A yellow
boundary strip decal is affixed to
the inboard end (heel) of the
platform (automatic inboard roll stop
“IB” lift models). Yellow antiskid is
affixed to the outboard edge of
independent hinged bridge plates
(“non-IB” lift models).

The attendant must always be
certain the wheelchair passenger or
standee is properly positioned on
the platform (fully inside yellow

boundaries) and the wheelchair
brakes are locked when a passen­ger is on the lift platform. The lift
passenger must keep hands,
arms and all other body parts
within the lift occupant area and
clear of all moving parts.

Vehicle (Floor Level) Loading
and Unloading: The platform

must be fully raised (at floor level)
and the bridge plate must be
properly positioned when loading
or unloading passengers in or out
of the vehicle. It is the responsi-

bility of the lift operator (atten­dant) to ensure the platform
and the bridge plate are prop­erly positioned at floor level
when loading and unloading
passengers.

appearing in this manual and on
lift-posted decals with your
wheelchair lift sales representa­tive (dealer), before attempting
lift operation.

Any questions or concerns can be
answered by the sales represen­tative at that time. Operate the lift
through all functions with your
sales representative on hand to
ensure the proper use and
operation of the wheelchair lift is
understood.

Preventive Maintenance:

Maintenance is necessary to
ensure safe and troublefree lift
operation. General preventive lift
maintenance consisting of
careful inspections of the lift
system and cleaning the lift
should be a part of your transit
agency's daily lift service pro­gram. Simple inspections can
detect potential lift operational
problems.

Regular preventive maintenance
will reduce potential lift operation
downtime and increase the
service life of the lift, as well as
possibly detecting potential
hazards.

Exposure to harsh weather
elements, environmental condi­tions, or heavy usage may require
more frequent maintenance and
lubrication procedures.

Preventive maintenance visual
inspections do not take the place

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.

The L915 has been designed with
many self-lubricating compo­nents. Lubricate the pivot points
specified on page 39 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.

Preventive maintenance visual
inspections and lubrication
procedures do not take the place

of the procedures specified in the
Maintenance and Lubrication
Schedule provided in the appli­cable lift installation and service
manual. The procedures outlined
in the Maintenance and Lubrica­tion Schedule must be per-

formed at the recommended
scheduled intervals by an
authorized Braun Corporation
service representative who has
attended and been certified by
The Braun Corporation Sales
and Service School.

If the scheduled maintenance and
lubrication procedures are not
being performed, or if there is any
sign of lift damage, wear, abnor­mal condition or improper opera­tion, discontinue lift use imme-
diately. Contact your sales
representative or call The Braun

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