Manual Operating Instructions
Cable-Activated Platform Manual Release System
Platform Manual Release
System: A cable-activated
manual release system releases
and engages the platform car-
riage assembly drive chain to
allow the platform carriage
assembly to be manually moved
out (extended) or moved in
(retracted) as needed. A T-
handle 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 re-
engaged 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 (re-
engage the carriage assembly
drive chain) after manual deploy-
ment, 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. Uncon-
trolled and unintentional
platform deployment (inadvert-
ent platform ejection) may
result in serious bodily injury
and/or property damage.
The UVL has the capability of
being manually operated. If you
experience power or equipment
failure, refer to the Manual
Operating Instructions to manu-
ally operate the lift. Refer to the
Lift Operating Instructions for all
normal lift operation procedures
(such as loading and unloading
passengers). Follow all Lift
Operation Safety Precautions
at all times!
Familiarize yourself with the
components necessary to operate
the Manual Back-Up System (see
illustration at right and photos on
pages 17 and 18). The location
of the power pack and release
cable varies from vehicle to
vehicle (depending on your
particular installation).
The T-handle release cable
releases and engages the lift
platform to allow the platform to
be manually extended and
retracted. The manual back-up
pump (hand pump) is used to
manually lower and raise the
extended platform.
Step-by-step instructions for
manually moving the platform
in and out, manually raising
and lowering the platform
and manually lowering
(unfolding) the outboard roll
stop are provided on the following
pages. Refer to the applicable
Manual Operation instructions for
detailed procedures.
Always exercise extreme caution
when operating the lift manually.
Read the warning and the
safety information below and
on the following page! Read all
Manual Operating Instructions
before attempting to perform
manual operation procedures.
Note: Location of power
pack and T-handle varies.
Note: Photos of the power
pack and T-handle appear
