The UVL Lift Series includesthree classifications of lifts(UVL600 Series, UVL600X Seriesand UVL850 Series). Refer to theillustrations on pages 2 and 3 forthe visual differences in liftconfigurations and identificationof lift components.

UVL600 Series lift models areconsumer oriented (intended foroperation by the wheelchairpassenger). UVL600X lift modelsare commercial oriented and ADAcompliant (intended for operationby an attendant). UVL600 Seriesand UVL600X lift platforms raiseand lower with an “arcing” motion.UVL600 Series lifts offer a varietyof options including bridge plates(inboard roll stops) and handrails.

UVL850 Series lifts are commer-

cial oriented, ADA compliant anddesigned for use in vehicles withincreased floor-to-ground require-ments such as buses, trailers andmotor homes. UVL850 liftplatforms travel vertically straightup and down (no “arcing” motion).

UVL lift models provide fullyautomatic operation of all liftfunctions as well as optionalautomatic door operators (if soequipped). Basic lift operationprocedures are identical for allUVL Series lift models. Theoperating instructions containedin this manual address the liftcontrol switches and the corre-sponding lift functions. Separateinstructions are provided foroperation of manual bridge plates(inboard roll stops) and handrails(stationary and folding) that may

Lift Control Switches:

The UVL® logic control system provides fully auto-matic operation of all lift functions as well as op-tional automatic door operators (if so equipped).Lift functions can be performed from any positionthe platform happens to be in at the time the switchbutton is pushed.

There are two types of hand controls available forthe UVL - the standard hand-held control switchbox,or the optional remote control. Both types ofcontrols are equipped with four push-buttonswitches. The functions activated by both types ofcontrols are the same. The switch functions arelabeled. The function of each switch is describedbelow.

Remote Control Note: The effective range of theremote control is 20 feet. A range further than 20feet does not allow an attendant to observe andassist the lift passenger.

Control Switch Functions:

UP: From the stowed position, the LIFT UP functiondeploys (extends) the platform fully. The platformthen raises to floor level height and moves inward tothe vehicle floor level position (if applicable). Note:When the lift is in the stowed position, power doorsautomatically open when the UP switch is pressed(if so equipped).

From ground level, the LIFT UP function will firstautomatically raise (rotate) the outboard roll stop tothe upright (vertical) position. Note: The lift will notraise if the roll stop is not in the UP position (built-insafety feature). The platform then raises to floorlevel height and moves inward to the vehicle floorlevel position. Note: UVL600 and UVL600X liftmodels move inward to floor level position with an“arcing” motion. UVL850 Series lift models do not.

DOWN: The LIFT DOWN function lowers theplatform to ground level (regardless of the positionof the platform) and then unfolds the outboard rollstop to the ramp (horizontal) position. From thestowed position, the lift will extend and then lower.Note: When the lift is in the stowed position, powerdoors automatically open when the DOWN switch ispressed (if so equipped).

STOW: The STOW LIFT function raises or lowersthe platform to stow level and then moves theplatform inward (retracts) to the stow position.

WARNING

Fold handrails downbefore stowing lift.Failure to do so mayresult in seriousbodily injury and/orproperty damage.

Note: The lift will notstow with weight on theplatform (built-in safetyfeature).


DOOR CLOSE: When the vehicle is equipped withautomatic door openers (optional), the DOORCLOSE switch closes the doors. This functionoperates only when the platform is stowed or fullyextended and below stow level.

Note: If any of these functions do not occur asdescribed, discontinue lift use immediately andcontact your sales representative or call The BraunCorporation at 1-800-THE LIFT. One of our nationalservice representatives will direct you to an autho-rized service repairman who will inspect your lift.

In event of power or equipment failure, refer toManual Operating Instructions to manually operate(stow) the lift, then contact your sales representativefor further instructions.

Manual Bridge Plate Operating Instructions

The bridge plate bridges the gap between the lift platformand the vehicle floor when the lift platform is raised fully(positioned at floor level), as well as serving as an inboardroll stop.

Manual bridge plates are attendant operated. The bridgeplate rests on the platform surface when the lift is in thestowed position (see Photo A). When the platform is fullyextended and raised or lowered to the desired height, thebridge plate is manually positioned as needed.

When raised to the vertical position, the rear (left) end ofthe plate engages a notch in the angled engagementbracket located at the inboard end of the platform sideplate. See Photos B and C. The spring located on theopposite end of the bridge plate hinge places rearwardpressure on the bridge plate to retain the plate in thevertical position (engaged in bracket notch).

When the platform is raised to floor level, the bridge plateis manually lowered to the vehicle floor (bridging position)by moving the bridge plate to the right to disengage it, andthen lowering it to the floor. From the floor level bridgingposition, the bridge plate is manually raised to the verticalposition (see Photos D, E and F).

The bridge plate can be folded down to the platformsurface by the attendant before stowing the lift platform, orthe stowing (retracting) movement of the platform will pushthe bridge plate down as it contacts the lift carriage.

Cable-Activated Platform Manual Release System

Platform Manual ReleaseSystem: A cable-activatedmanual release system releasesand engages the platform car-riage assembly drive chain toallow the platform carriageassembly to be manually movedout (extended) or moved in(retracted) as needed. A T-handle is provided on the releasecable for activation of the manualrelease system (details follow).

After manually moving theplatform in or out, it is extremelyimportant that the cable-activatedmanual release is positively re-engaged to secure (lock) theplatform carriage assembly beforeloading a passenger on theplatform or before driving thevehicle (reengagement procedureoutlined on following page).

Failure to manually lock theplatform carriage assembly (re-engage the carriage assemblydrive chain) after manual deploy-ment, will allow the platform to rollin or out of housing unhinderedduring vehicle movement. Failureto lock the platform will also allowthe platform to roll in or out ofhousing unhindered during handpump raising and loweringprocedures.

After manually releasingplatform, push manual releaseT-handle in fully and ensureplatform is locked beforedriving lift vehicle. Uncon-trolled and unintentionalplatform deployment (inadvert-ent platform ejection) mayresult in serious bodily injuryand/or property damage.

The UVL has the capability ofbeing manually operated. If youexperience power or equipmentfailure, refer to the ManualOperating Instructions to manu-ally operate the lift. Refer to theLift Operating Instructions for allnormal lift operation procedures(such as loading and unloadingpassengers). Follow all LiftOperation Safety Precautionsat all times!

Familiarize yourself with thecomponents necessary to operatethe Manual Back-Up System (seeillustration at right and photos onpages 17 and 18). The locationof the power pack and releasecable varies from vehicle tovehicle (depending on yourparticular installation).

The T-handle release cablereleases and engages the liftplatform to allow the platform to

be manually extended andretracted. The manual back-uppump (hand pump) is used tomanually lower and raise theextended platform.

Step-by-step instructions formanually moving the platformin and out, manually raisingand lowering the platformand manually lowering(unfolding) the outboard rollstop are provided on the followingpages. Refer to the applicableManual Operation instructions fordetailed procedures.

Always exercise extreme cautionwhen operating the lift manually.Read the warning and thesafety information below andon the following page! Read allManual Operating Instructionsbefore attempting to performmanual operation procedures.

Note: Location of powerpack and T-handle varies.

Note: Photos of the powerpack and T-handle appearon pages 17 and 18.

WARNING

Push T-handle in fully and manually move platform in and out to engage platform lock before driving vehicle.Failure to lock platform may result in unintended platform deployment. Unintended platform deployment mayresult in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Note: The lift platform must bepushed back into its carriagecompartment at least half-waybefore reverting back to normal(powered) operation. When thelift is fully extended manually, itdoes not activate the properswitches for normal operation.Returning (moving) the lift at leasthalf-way in allows for properswitch activation.

Note: Before manually raising orlowering platform, be sure toreengage the release cablemechanism by loosening (turning)the “T” handle and pushinginward. Failure to place “T”handle in the original IN positionwill allow the platform to move in

and out when trying to raise orlower the platform with the handpump.

Sales Representative: Instructand demonstrate the proper re-engagement procedure of themanual release for all new UVLowners at the point of sale ordelivery. Remind the consumer ofproper engagement procedureswhen giving telephone instructions.

Step-by-step instructions formanually moving the platform inand out, manually raising andlowering the platform and manuallylowering (unfolding) the outboardroll stop are provided on thefollowing pages.

After manually moving theplatform in or out:

1. Turn (loosen) the manualrelease “T” handle.

2. Push the “T” handle in fully(until handle bottoms outagainst its mounting bracket).
