Automatic Outboard Roll Stop:
The outboard roll stop provides a
ramp for wheelchair loading and
unloading at ground level (see
photos at left). When the
platform lowers fully to ground
level, the roll stop activation feet
automatically unfold (rotate) the
roll stop down to the ramp
position (fully unfolded). The two
activation feet (one at both ends
of the roll stop) ensure roll stop
operation on an uneven surface.
The roll stop is spring-loaded to
automatically fold (rotate) to the
vertical position when the UP
switch is pressed. As the
activation feet lift off the ground,
the torsion springs rotate the roll
stop to the vertical position.
Note: The platform raises
approximately two inches before
the roll stop reaches the fully UP
position. Discontinue lift opera-
tion immediately if the roll stop
does not operate properly.
Outboard Roll Stop Operation:
The lift operator must press the
DOWN switch to lower the
platform fully to the ground. The
lift operator or attendant must
view the platform as it lowers to
be certain the entire platform
reaches and rests safely on the
ground (see photo on page 16).
Stop pressing the DOWN switch if
any portion of the platform is
obstructed 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.).
