Glossary (list of technical terms)

Platform control: Control unit in lift with key switch and command buttons.

Remote control: Battery-operated radio transmitter unit with control buttons and indicator light.

Two different models of the remote control unit are available: one with and one

without a key -switch (see Section 6.2, "Key-operated systems", on page 19).

The remote control can be fitted to the wall.

Turning: Platform lift systems are called "turning lift systems" if the travel path of the

platform has either curves to the right or to the left side.

Straight: Platform lift systems are called "straight" if the travel path of the platform has

neither curves to the right nor to the left side.

A curve in the travel path e.g. when changing from inclined to horizontal travel is

nevertheless possible.

3. Warranty

Warranty

• The platform lift system may only be used according to the contractual and legal provisions.

• Only one person may ride the platform lift system. It should never be used by more than one person at

a time.

• The lift system is only for conveying a person in a wheelchair. In the special version with a folding seat

it is also permissible to convey a seated person. Standing persons are not allowed to be conveyed.

• The lift is not designed for conveying goods or objects.

• The maximum load may not be exceeded.

• The platform lift system is not a toy.

The function and safety of the equipment is only guaranteed if:

• the system is correctly used and properly operated, i.e. as described in these instructions. Pay special

attention to the safety advice.

• the system is kept in a safe operational state.

• the regular maintenance works are carried out by HIRO LIFT or by a representative authorised by

HIRO LIFT.

• repairs are carried out by HIRO LIFT or by a representative authorised by HIRO LIFT.

• constructional changes, conversions or a possible reconstruction of the system are carried out by

HIRO LIFT or by a representative authorised by HIRO LIFT.

Authorised persons are HIRO LIFT employees or authorised representatives of HIRO LIFT.

4. General safety instructions

General safety instructions

Please read these safety instructions carefully before you operate or use this platform lift system.

Please observe these safety instructions!

• Everyone who uses the wheelchair lift or turns the key to prepare the lift for operation must be familiar

with the platform lift system and have been briefed on its use.

• The operator of the system must ensure that the wheelchair lift is only used by persons who have

been briefed.

• The operator of the system is responsible for the safe and proper use of the wheelchair lift.

• The operator and all persons who use the wheelchair lift must read and understand these operating

instructions in advance.

• Persons who are not able to read or understand the operation instructions may only use the system

together with an instructed person.

• Beside the advice in these instructions pay attention to the special signs on the system.

• A second person, who is not dependent on the platform lift system, always has to be instructed in its

use. This person acts as the so-called "qualified person" in accordance with the German Health and

Safety at Work Act (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung) and must be able to assist if problems arise.

• The system should only be used if an instructed attendant is present.

• The attendant is responsible that the wheelchair with its user is placed on the platform so that

crushing or other injuries are avoided.

• If the system is operated without an attendant, the rider should carry with him a cell phone or similar.

• The wheelchair lift may only be operated via remote control if the person with the remote control unit

can see that the entire travel path is clear. If some sections of the travel path cannot be seen, mirrors

or similar aids must be installed to rectify this.

• Before operating the wheelchair lift for the first time, ensure that the remote control units are installed

at locations where the entire path of the wheelchair lift can be seen by the person operating the

remote control.

• Multi-floor systems may not be operated via a portable or stationary remote control. Exceptions: if all

parts of the travel path can be observed by technical means.

• Do not allow the system to touch metal objects (e.g. tinsel) as this may cause a short-circuit.

• In models with round tubular rails, always keep the rails dry and clean. Do not treat them with grease,

oil or other lubricants.

• In model HIRO 350Z, the toothed drive rack must be regularly lubricated with grease. Contact the

HIRO LIFT service department.

• An outdoor inclined platform lift is subject to a risk of slipping during rain.

• For outdoor inclined platform lifts, the lift itself as well as its access must be kept free from ice and

snow. Otherwise there is a risk of slipping.

• Some outdoor lift models are fitted with a rail heating system and with a safety catch heating system.

These heating systems must be switched on and be functional at all times during winter and when the

ambient temperature is below 5° C (41° F).

• When outdoor lifts are used, it must be ensured that the humidity does not exceed a value of 80

percent.

• Lift systems which are designed as indoor lifts must under no circumstances be used outdoors, i.e. in

locations where they are exposed to the weather.

4. General safety instructions

• When indoor lifts are used, it must be ensured that the humidity does not exceed a value of 80

percent and the ambient temperature is 5° C (41° F) or above.

• Only use wheelchairs that fit the size of the platform.

• Only use wheelchairs with footrests so that the feet do not protrude from the platform. Feet or

footrests must not be allowed to block the access ramps.

• All safety devices, such as the emergency stop button for example, must be checked regularly. The

same applies to the fuses and the main switch.

• When switching off the main switch the charging system and its components are still under electric

power.

• Accidents and damage in connection with this system must be reported.

• Do not use the wheelchair lift in the event of fire, not even for rescuing persons or for fire-fighting

purposes.

Before using the lift...

• Before using the lift the user must have a good view of the travel path.

• During operation of the system no persons, animals or objects must be in the travel path.

• Do not place any objects on the rails or in the area of the travel path.

• Only enter or leave the platform lift at the landings.

• The load on the platform must not protrude from the platform nor block the access ramps or safety

barriers.

• Before the platform is moved in an opened state ensure that the access ramps have returned to their

travel position, (i.e. folded upward at an angle of 45 degrees).

• Please pay special attention to loose clothing or accessories (e.g. scarves). Keep them out of the path

of travel.

• Ensure that there are no obstructions to the movement of the safety barriers.

• Inclined wheelchair lifts HIRO 320, HIRO 350 and HIRO 370:

The wheelchair brakes must be applied when the wheelchair is on the platform.

• Only for HIRO 360 inclined wheelchair lifts:

The wheelchair must be wheeled onto the platform through the opening with its large wheels.

The wheelchair brakes must not be applied.

• Always check, and if necessary correct, the position of the wheelchair and its user after reaching the

platform. Make sure that the safety barriers and the access ramps can be moved easily. With HIRO

320, HIRO 350 and HIRO 370 inclined platform wheelchair lifts, the wheelchair brakes must be

applied again after correction.

While the lift is moving...

• Avoid any crushing or shearing hazards while the lift is moving.

• Do not leave the platform during travel.

• Persons or objects adjacent to the platform must maintain sufficient distance to the platform during

travel. Otherwise there is a risk of being crushed by the movable parts of the inclined lift.

• The wheelchair user must fasten his seat belt during travel.

• The access ramps must be in their travel position (i.e. folded upward at an angle of 45 degrees).

4. General safety instructions

After using the lift...

• After using the lift the keys must be removed and stored safely. Care must be taken to ensure that

unauthorised persons, such as children, cannot gain access to the keys.

• To keep the stairs clear, always fold away the platform after use. The wheelchair lift should always be

parked at a charging station where it least obstructs the stairs.
