Operation Notes and Details
The latches disengage the bar-
rier when the platform lowers
fully (reaches ground level) and
the latch feet contact the ground
(latches raise above the barrier).
Outer Barrier and Latch Op-
eration:
The lift 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 obstruct-
ed 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.).
Note: The barrier must be fully
unfolded until the entire wheel-
chair (or standee) has crossed
the roll stop when loading or
unloading at ground level. Dis-
continue lift operation immediately
if the outer barrier or latches do
not operate properly.
Bridging:
The NCL 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), prevent-
ing the operator from lowering the
inboard end of the platform.
Handrails:
Dual handrails are
provided for wheelchair pas-
senger (or standee) use. The
handrails unfold automatically to
the deployed position when the lift
