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 (Board-
ing 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).

platform to prevent side-to-side
load off-balance. The lift atten-

passenger at all times during lift
operation.
Vehicle (Floor Level) Loading/
Unloading: The platform must
be fully raised (at floor level) and
the bridge plate must be properly
positioned (if equipped) when
loading or unloading passengers
in or out of the vehicle. Floor
level positioning of the UVL
platform is a fully automatic
function, but it is the responsi-
bility of the lift operator to
ensure the platform and the
bridge plate (if equipped) are
properly positioned.
If the lift does not position the
platform properly, discontinue
lift use immediately and contact
an authorized Braun Corporation
dealer in your area or call The

representatives will direct you to
an authorized service repairman

Wheelchair-equipped Occupant
Seat Belts: The Braun Corpora-
tion recommends wheelchair
passengers position and buckle
their wheelchair-equipped seat
belt (torso restraint) as specified
by the manufacturer, before
loading onto a wheelchair lift.
Different types of disabilities
require different types of wheel-
chairs 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 proce-
dures required for safe transport of
wheelchair passengers.
