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
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
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:
Page 6
Page 4
Lift Components (continued)
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.
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.
Lift Terminology
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
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.
Lift Actions and Functions

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

Pre-Lift Operation Notes and Details
L915 Series lift models are
specifically designed to be operated by an attendant. The Lift
Operating Instructions contained
in this manual and posted on the
lift provide instructions for operation of the lift only. Read and
become familiar with all lift operation safety precautions, pre-lift
operation notes and details,
operating instructions and manual
operating instructions before
attempting lift operation procedures.
Lift Access Doors and Lift
Interlocks: Attendants must
become familiar with the vehicle
lift access door system and the
interlock system (if equipped), as
well as the proper operation of the
lift. Transit vehicles and lift access
door configurations vary. Door
securement devices (latches,
hooks, cables, etc.) and procedures to operate them vary also.
Lift interlocks are required by
nearly all transit authorities.
Instructions for operation of
interlocks and door securement
systems cannot be addressed in
this manual or on lift-posted
operating instructions decals due
to the variety of procedures
required for operating them.
It is the responsibility of the lift
operator (attendant) to properly
open, secure and close the
vehicle lift door(s), to activate the
lift interlock (if equipped), to load
and unload the wheelchair
passenger (or standee) on and off
the lift platform, and to properly
activate all lift functions.

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

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

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
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.

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

Operation Procedure Review
The Braun Corporation recommends that transit agency supervisors and wheelchair lift attendants review the safety precautions and operation procedures
appearing in this manual and on
lift-posted decals with your
wheelchair lift sales representative (dealer), before attempting

Different types of disabilities
require different types of wheelchairs and different types of
wheelchair-equipped occupant
restraint belt systems (torso
restraints). It is the responsibility
of the wheelchair passenger to
have his or her wheelchair
equipped with an occupant
restraint (seat belt) under the
direction of their health care
professional.
Wheelchair lift attendants should
be instructed on any special
needs and/or procedures required for safe transport of
wheelchair passengers.

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.

RNING
Maintenance and
lubrication procedures must be performed by authorized
service personnel as
specified in the
applicable installation/service manual.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or

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.

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.
