Lift Terminology
Lift Components:
except the power (pump) module
when the lift is in the stowed
position.
Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustrations on pages 2 and 3.
Bridge Plate (Inboard Roll
Stop): UVL lift models are
equipped with an automatic or
manually operated bridge plate
(except model UVL603A). The
bridge plate bridges the gap
between the lift platform and the
vehicle floor. Bridge plates also
serve as inboard roll stops.
Pump Module: The remote
mounted pump module consists
of the main hydraulic pump, the
manual hand pump, the logic
control board and other electrical
components that power the lift
electric/hydraulic systems.
Platform Carriage Assembly:
The platform carriage assembly
includes the platform assembly,
the lifting arms, the rolling hori-
zontal arms that carry the plat-
form assembly in and out of the
housing and the electrical/
hydraulic drive components that
power the lift.
Automatic bridge plates are fully-
automatic in operation and are
activated by the lift control
switches (no attendant required).
Manual bridge plates must be
operated by an attendant. Fur-
ther details and instructions for
operation of manual bridge plates
are provided on page 12 of this
manual.
Hand-held Switch Control Box:
The standard hand-held control
switchbox is connected to the
pump module. The control box is
equipped with four push-button
switches, (UP, DOWN, STOW,
and DOOR CLOSE). The
switches activate the fully auto-
matic lift functions as well as
optional automatic door opera-
tors (if so equipped). Details
regarding the control switches
and their functions are provided in
the Lift Operation section (page
11).
Platform Assembly: The lift
platform assembly consists of the
flat aluminum plate with raised
diamond embossing upon which
the wheelchair is positioned, the
outboard roll stop, the inboard roll
stop (if so equipped) and optional
handrails (if so equipped).
Platform Cable-activated
Manual Release System: A
cable-activated manual release
system releases the platform
carriage assembly drive chain to
allow the platform carriage
assembly to be manually moved
out (extended) or moved in
(retracted), should it be neces-
sary. Complete details and
operating procedures are pro-
vided on pages 15-19.
Outboard Roll Stop: The
outboard roll stop is the automatic
electric actuator-activated outer
barrier that provides a ramp for
wheelchair loading and unloading
at ground level. Photos and
further details regarding the
outboard roll stop operation are
provided in the Pre-Lift Operation
Notes section (pages 7 and 8).
Lift Housing: The lift housing is
the metal structure (casing)
mounted under the vehicle which
contains and protects the platform
carriage assembly. The housing
contains all lift components
Lift Actions and Functions:
Extend: Extend is the action of
the platfom carriage assembly

housing.

assembly moves in and moves
out of the lift housing.
Floor Level: Floor level is the
height that the platfom carriage
assembly raises to in order for the
wheelchair passenger to enter
and exit the vehicle.
Stow: Stow is the action of the
lift platform carriage assembly
retracting (moving inward) into
the carriage assembly housing.
During the stow function, the
platform will automatically raise or
lower to stow level before retract-
ing into the housing.
Retract: Retract is the action of
the platfom carriage assembly
moving (rolling) into the lift
housing.
Note: Further details regarding
lift control switches and the
corresponding lift functions are
provided in the Lift Operating
Instructions on pages 10 and 11.

Braun “Worry-Free”
Three-Year Limited Warranty
The Braun Corporation of Winamac, Indiana, warrants its wheelchair lift against
defects in material and workmanship for three years, providing the lift is operated and
maintained properly and in conformity with this manual. This warranty is limited to the
original purchaser and does not cover defects in the motor vehicle on which it is installed,
or defects in the lift caused by a defect in any part of the motor vehicle.
This warranty commences on the date the lift is put in service, providing the
warranty registration card is completed and received by The Braun Corporation within 20
days of purchase.
This warranty also covers the cost of labor for the repair or replacement of most
parts for one year when performed by an authorized Braun Representative. (A Braun labor
schedule determines cost allowance for repairs.)
This warranty does not cover normal maintenance, service, or periodic adjustments
necessitated by use or wear. The Braun Corporation will not, under any circumstances, pay
for loss of use of lift or vehicle in which it is installed or loss of time.
This warranty will become null and void if the lift has been damaged through
accident, misuse, or neglect, or if the lift has been altered in any respect.
Return Authorization Procedure
All parts under warranty must have a red tag attached before returning the part for credit. A red
tag must be attached to every item and returned, freight prepaid, to The Braun Corporation. Red tags will
be sent along with the new replacement part. The authorization of red tags allows us to expediently give
you proper credit for warranty.
