Lift Frame: The lift frame con-
sists of the base plate, threshold
warning plate, towers, parallel
arms, vertical arms, platform
pivot arms and handrails. Two
main hydraulic cylinders are
housed in the parallel arms.
The electrical/hydraulic powered
lift frame components mechani-
cally unfold, lower, raise and fold
the lift platform assembly.
Platform Assembly: The plat-
form assembly consists of the
steel tubing frame with grating
surface upon which the wheel-
chair is positioned, the outer
barrier, outer barrier latch, the
inner roll stop, and the hydraulic
cylinder assembly that powers
the outer barrier.
Lift-Tite ™ Latches: The spring-
loaded latches prevent the
platform from unfolding from the
stowed position in the event of
platform drift. Further details
regarding Lift-Tite
™ latches are
provided on pages 16 and 17.
Outer Barrier: The cylinder-
powered automatic outer barrier
provides a ramp for wheelchair
loading and unloading at ground
level. Photos and further details
regarding the outer barrier are
provided in the Operation Notes
section (pages 19-21).
Outer Barrier Latch: The spring-
loaded latch locks the outer bar-
rier in the vertical position when
the platform raises above ground
level.

held pendant is equipped with
two rocker switches, (UNFOLD,
FOLD, DOWN, and UP). The
