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 Components:
Lift Terminology
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
Page 4
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.

Face outward and lock wheelchair brakes before operating lift.
Lift Passengers: 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 750 pound rated load capacity of the lift.
Passenger Orientation (Board­ing Direction): Inboard facing of
wheelchair passengers is not prohibited, but outboard facing
of passengers is recommended
by The Braun Corporation. Passengers loading from ground level should back onto the platform. Passengers loading from floor level should proceed onto the platform facing outward (outward from the vehicle).
The passenger must be posi­tioned in the center of the platform to prevent side-to-side load off-balance. The lift atten­dant (operator) should not ride on the platform with the passenger.
Wheelchair brakes must be locked whenever the passenger
is on the platform. Turn powered (electric) wheelchairs off when on platform.

Lift Operating Instructions
Lift Operating Instructions 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 that may be present on your particular lift model. Fold handrails down
before stowing lift.
In event of power or equipment failure, refer to the Manual Operating Instructions section.
Before lift operation, park the vehicle on a level area, away
from vehicle traffic. Place the vehicle transmission in “Park” and engage the parking brake.
Vehicle Lift Door(s): Open manual doors fully, being certain the doors are secured in the fully open position before operating the lift. If your vehicle is equipped with optional automatic door operators, the doors will open when the UP or DOWN switch is pressed. The automatic door operators will close when DOOR CLOSE switch is pressed (only if the lift platform is in the fully stowed position).
Lift Operating Instructions
Lift Control Switches:
®
The UVL matic operation of all lift functions as well as op- tional automatic door operators (if so equipped). Lift functions can be performed from any position the platform happens to be in at the time the switch button is pushed.
There are two types of hand controls available for the UVL - the standard hand-held control switchbox, or the optional remote control. Both types of controls are equipped with four push-button switches. The functions activated by both types of controls are the same. The switch functions are labeled. The function of each switch is described below.
Remote Control Note: The effective range of the remote control is 20 feet. A range further than 20 feet does not allow an attendant to observe and assist the lift passenger.

Control Switch Functions:
UP: From the stowed position, the LIFT UP function
deploys (extends) the platform fully. The platform then raises to floor level height and moves inward to the vehicle floor level position (if applicable). Note: When the lift is in the stowed position, power doors automatically open when the UP switch is pressed (if so equipped).
From ground level, the LIFT UP function will first automatically raise (rotate) the outboard roll stop to the upright (vertical) position. Note: The lift will not raise if the roll stop is not in the UP position (built-in safety feature). The platform then raises to floor level height and moves inward to the vehicle floor level position. Note: UVL600 and UVL600X lift models move inward to floor level position with an “arcing” motion. UVL850 Series lift models do not.
DOWN: The LIFT DOWN function lowers the platform to ground level (regardless of the position of the platform) and then unfolds the outboard roll stop to the ramp (horizontal) position. From the stowed position, the lift will extend and then lower. Note: When the lift is in the stowed position, power doors automatically open when the DOWN switch is pressed (if so equipped).
STOW: The STOW LIFT function raises or lowers the platform to stow level and then moves the platform inward (retracts) to the stow position.
Note: The lift will not

bodily injury and/or property damage.
DOOR CLOSE: When the vehicle is equipped with
automatic door openers (optional), the DOOR CLOSE switch closes the doors. This function operates only when the platform is stowed or fully extended and below stow level.
Note: If any of these functions do not occur as described, discontinue lift use immediately and contact your sales representative or call The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT. One of our national service representatives will direct you to an autho­rized service repairman who will inspect your lift.
In event of power or equipment failure, refer to Manual Operating Instructions to manually operate (stow) the lift, then contact your sales representative for further instructions.

Manual Bridge Plate Operating Instructions
A
Manual Bridge Plate
Platform at Stow Level
The bridge plate bridges the gap between the lift platform and the vehicle floor when the lift platform is raised fully (positioned at floor level), as well as serving as an inboard roll stop.
Manual bridge plates are attendant operated. The bridge plate rests on the platform surface when the lift is in the stowed position (see Photo A). When the platform is fully extended and raised or lowered to the desired height, the bridge plate is manually positioned as needed.
When raised to the vertical position, the rear (left) end of the plate engages a notch in the angled engagement bracket located at the inboard end of the platform side plate. See Photos B and C. The spring located on the opposite end of the bridge plate hinge places rearward pressure on the bridge plate to retain the plate in the vertical position (engaged in bracket notch).

When the platform is raised to floor level, the bridge plate is manually lowered to the vehicle floor (bridging position) by moving the bridge plate to the right to disengage it, and then lowering it to the floor. From the floor level bridging position, the bridge plate is manually raised to the vertical position (see Photos D, E and F).
The bridge plate can be folded down to the platform surface by the attendant before stowing the lift platform, or the stowing (retracting) movement of the platform will push the bridge plate down as it contacts the lift carriage.

Push T-handle in fully and manually move platform in and out to engage platform lock before driving vehicle. Failure to lock platform may result in unintended platform deployment. Unintended platform deployment may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Platform Manual Release System: A cable-activated
manual release system releases and engages the platform car­riage assembly drive chain to allow the platform carriage assembly to be manually moved out (extended) or moved in (retracted) as needed. A T­handle is provided on the release cable for activation of the manual release system (details follow).
After manually moving the platform in or out, it is extremely important that the cable-activated manual release is positively re­engaged to secure (lock) the platform carriage assembly before loading a passenger on the platform or before driving the vehicle (reengagement procedure outlined on following page).
Failure to manually lock the platform carriage assembly (re­engage the carriage assembly drive chain) after manual deploy­ment, will allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during vehicle movement. Failure to lock the platform will also allow the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during hand pump raising and lowering procedures.
After manually releasing platform, push manual release T-handle in fully and ensure platform is locked before driving lift vehicle. Uncon­trolled and unintentional platform deployment (inadvert­ent platform ejection) may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

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. When cleaning the lift, pay special attention to the roll stop opening, platform surface and bottom of platform. If mud, ice and/or snow build-up is apparent on platform surface, clean the area prior to use. Do not spray water inside of lift housing.
The lift-equipped vehicle should be stored in a garage or other sheltered place if possible, especially during inclement weather conditions. When the lift is not in use, the lift should be in the stowed position to keep foreign objects, rain, ice, snow, etc., from entering through the lift
opening or building up on the platform surface.
The UVL has been designed with many self-lubricating compo­nents. Lubricate the pivot points specified below 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.
Complete maintenance checks and lubrication procedures must be performed annually by an authorized Braun Corporation sale representative who has attended and been certified by
the Braun UVL Sales and Service School. If the annual
maintenance and lubrication procedures cannot be performed, or if there is any sign of lift

This warranty is limited to the original purchaser and does not cover defects in the motor vehicle on which it is installed, or defects in the lift caused by a defect in any part of the motor vehicle.
This warranty commences on the date the lift is put in service, providing the warranty registration card is completed and received by The Braun Corporation within 20 days of purchase.
This warranty also covers the cost of labor for the repair or replacement of most parts for one year when performed by an authorized Braun Representative. (A Braun labor schedule determines cost allowance for repairs.)
This warranty does not cover normal maintenance, service, or periodic adjustments necessitated by use or wear. The Braun Corporation will not, under any circumstances, pay for loss of use of lift or vehicle in which it is installed or loss of time.
This warranty will become null and void if the lift has been damaged through accident, misuse, or neglect, or if the lift has been altered in any respect.
UVL
All parts under warranty must have a red tag attached before returning the part for credit. A red
tag must be attached to every item and returned, freight prepaid, to The Braun Corporation. Red tags will
be sent along with the new replacement part. The authorization of red tags allows us to expediently give
you proper credit for warranty.
The red tag must be filled out with the appropriate lift
model number, series number and serial number. The identification
tag containing this information is located on the left platform
side plate (outboard end). When filling out the red tag, please
describe the problem briefly. This will allow us to monitor the
performance of our assembled parts, as well as purchased parts.
