Lift Terminology

Introduction:

Braun NL955 Millennium Series

lifts comply fully with the National

Highway Trafﬁc Safety Adminis-

tration (NHTSA) speciﬁcations.

The Braun NL955 is consumer

oriented (designed to allow op-

eration by the wheelchair passen-

ger). NL955 lift models provide

fully automatic operation of all

lift functions as well as optional

automatic door operators (if so

equipped).

Lift models vary per platform size

(lift model numbers indicate lift

dimensions). A standard NL955

lift model is depicted in the Lift

Terminology Illustration. Refer to

the Lift Terminology Illustration

for identiﬁcation of lift compo-

nents.

Lift operation procedures are

identical for all NL955 Series

lift models. The operating

instructions contained in this

manual and appearing on lift-

posted operating instructions

decals address the lift control

switches and the correspond-

ing lift functions. Instructions

are provided for manual opera-

tion of the lift in event of power

or equipment failure.

Terminology: Become familiar

with the terminology that will be

used throughout this manual.

Become familiar with the identiﬁ-

cation of lift components and their

functions. Contact your lift sales

representative or call The Braun

Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT®

if any of this information is not

fully understood.

Direction: The terms “left,”

“right,” “inboard,” and “outboard”

will be used throughout this

manual to indicate direction (as

viewed from outside the vehicle

looking directly at the lift). Refer

to the Lift Terminology Illustration

for clariﬁcation of direction terms.

Lift Terminology

FOLD, DOWN, and UP). The

momentary switches activate the

automatic lift functions. The lift

function labels illuminate to iden-

tify the function(s).

Lift Frame: The lift frame con-

sists of the base plate, threshold

warning plate, towers, parallel

arms, vertical arms, platform

pivot arms and switch arm. Two

main hydraulic cylinders are

housed in the parallel arms.

The electrical/hydraulic powered

lift frame components mechani-

cally unfold, lower, raise and fold

the lift platform assembly.

Switch Arm: An additional

UP/DOWN switch is provided on

the switch arm.

Platform Assembly: The plat-

form assembly consists of the

steel tubing frame with grating

surface upon which the wheel-

chair is positioned, the outer

barrier, outer barrier latch, the

inboard locator, side entry and the

hydraulic cylinder assembly that

powers the outer barrier.

Lift-Tite™Latches: The spring-

loaded latches prevent the

platform from unfolding from the

stowed position in the event of

platform drift. Further details

regarding Lift-Tite™latches are

provided on pages 18 and 19.

Outer Barrier: The cylinder-

powered automatic outer barrier

provides a ramp for wheelchair

loading and unloading at ground

Lift Components

Refer to the Lift Terminology Il-

lustration on page 4.

Pump Module: The lift-mounted

pump module consists of the

hydraulic pump, the manual

hand pump, the electronic

control board and electrical

components that power the lift

electric/hydraulic systems. The

pump module is equipped with

three function-labeled control

switches.

Hand-held Pendant Control:

The hand-held attendant's pen-

dant control is connected to the

pump module. The hand-held

pendant is equipped with four

push button switches, (UNFOLD,

to the vertical position as the

lift lowers and raises. Further

details regarding the automatic

mechanical inboard locator are

provided on pages 18 and 19.

Vehicle and Lift Interlocks

Braun Corporation NL955

Series lifts comply fully with all

NHTSA vehicle and lift interlock

speciﬁcations. Vehicle move-

ment is prohibited unless the lift

door is closed, ensuring the lift

is stowed. The lift will not func-

tion unless the vehicle is parked

and secured.

The NL955 features an audible

threshold warning system that

will activate if the threshold area

is occupied when the platform

is one inch or more below ﬂoor

level.

The inboard locator and outer

barrier sense weight to prohibit

lift operation. The lift will not

function if the inboard locator or

the outer barrier are occupied.

The lift platform cannot be folded

(stowed) if occupied

level. The NL955 platform is

equipped with a side entry that

allows boarding and exiting in

tight parking situations. The

outer barrier and side entry func-

tion together in unison.

Outer Barrier Latch: The

spring-loaded latch locks the

outer barrier in the vertical posi-

tion when the platform raises

above ground level.

Inboard Locator: NL955 Series

lift models are equipped with an

automatic inboard locator that

also serves as the bridge plate.

The bridge plate bridges the gap

between the lift platform and the

vehicle ﬂoor. The inboard loca-

tor/bridge plate automatically ro-

tates from the horizontal position

Page 8

Lift Terminology

F. FOLD (In) - Platform Fold:

Fold is the action of the platform

rotating up and in from the ﬂoor

level (horizontal) position to fully-

stowed (vertical) position when

the FOLD switch is pressed.

Stowed Position: The lift is

stowed when the lift platform has

been fully raised and folded fully

(vertical position).

Floor Level: Floor level is the

position (height) the platform as-

sembly reaches in order for the

wheelchair passenger to enter

and exit the vehicle (fully raised).

The platform automatically stops

at ﬂoor level when unfolding from

the stowed position and when

raising from ground level.

Lift Actions and Functions

DEPLOY (A-C)

A. UNFOLD (Out) - Platform

Unfold: Unfold is the action

of the platform rotating out and

down from the fully-stowed

(vertical) position to ﬂoor level

(horizontal) position when the

UNFOLD switch is pressed.

B. DOWN - Platform Lower:

Down is the action of the platform

lowering from ﬂoor level position

to fully-lowered (ground level)

position when the DOWN switch

is pressed.

C. DOWN - Outer Barrier

Unfold (Deploy) - When the

platform reaches the fully-low-

ered (ground) position and the

DOWN switch is continued to be

pressed, the outer barrier rotates

downward from vertical position

to ramp position.

STOW (D-F)

D. UP - Outer Barrier Fold

(Raise): When the lift is fully

lowered and the outer barrier is

in the ramp position, pressing

the UP switch ﬁrst rotates the

outer barrier upward from ramp

position to vertical position.

E. UP - Platform Raise: Up is

the action of the platform raising

from ground level to ﬂoor level

(fully-raised) position when the

UP switch is pressed.
