VI. Transferring the Passenger to the Aircraft
With the bridge ramp in proper position, the attendant on the lift can move the passenger across
the ramp and into the aircraft.
VII. Retracting the Bridge Ramp
With the passenger and attendant fully inside the aircraft and clear of the bridge ramp, the
operator raises the deck 2 or 3 inches then fully retracts the bridge ramp by pulling down and
turning the bridge ramp extension crank clockwise.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not attempt to crank up the lift deck from on the lift. A lift operator on the ground is
required.
• The bridge ramp must be fully retracted to prevent interference with bracing members when
lowering deck.
VIII. Lowering the Deck
Once the bridge ramp is fully retracted, the deck can be lowered by swinging the deck crank
handle out and turn it counter-clockwise until the deck is in the full down position.
IX. Raising and Latching the Ground Ramp
When the deck is fully lowered, the ground ramp is raised and latched into place by inserting
the latch handle into the slot on the ramp.
X. Raising Lift onto Wheels
See Chapter 6, “To Move the Lift” section, Item I.
XI. Retracting and Locking Outriggers
Once the deck is lowered and the Mobilift AX / AXR is raised onto it’s wheels, the outriggers
can be retracted and locked into position with the safety handles.
XII. Releasing the Brake and Moving the Lift From Aircraft
To move the lift, pull down and apply a slight downward force on the push handles and push or
pull as necessary.
To Assist A Wheelchair Traveler Off The Aircraft:
The steps for assisting a person in a wheelchair off the aircraft are the reverse of those described above.
