Lift Passengers
If you are an attendant operating
the lift, it is your responsibility to
perform safe loading and unload-
ing procedures. Wheelchair lift
attendants should be instructed
on any special needs and/or pro-
cedures required for safe trans-
port of wheelchair passengers.
Passenger Orientation (Board-

date both inboard and outboard
facing wheelchair passengers
or standees. Inboard facing of
wheelchair lift passengers is not
prohibited, but outboard facing
of passengers is recommended
by The Braun Corporation.
Yellow Boundaries: The pas-
senger must be positioned in the
center of the platform to prevent
side-to-side load imbalance. The
lift attendant (operator) should
not ride on the platform with the
passenger.
The lift operator and bystanders
must keep clear of the area in
which the lift operates. Observe

Vista Series Lift
Braun “Worry-Free”
Five-Year Limited Warranty
The Braun Corporation of Winamac, Indiana, warrants its wheelchair lift against defects
in material and workmanship for up to five years*, providing the lift is installed, 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 into service, providing the warranty
registration card is completed and received by The Braun Corporation within twenty days of
purchase. If no warranty card is received, the warranty will expire three years from the date of
manufacture as identified on the lift serial number tag.
This warranty also covers the cost of labor for the repair or replacement of parts for
three years when performed by an approved Braun Dealer. (A labor schedule determines cost
allowance for repairs, which can be provided upon request by an approved Braun Dealer).
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, incidental or consequential damages related to the lift, or vehicle in which it is installed.
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.
* The five-year portion of this warranty covers the following lift’s power train parts:
• Cable • Cylinder • Flow Control • Gear Box • Motor • Pump • Hydraulic Hose & Fittings
• Solid State Controller
All remaining lift components are covered by a three-year warranty.
All illustrations, descriptions and specifications in this manual are based on the latest product information available
at the time of publication. The Braun Corporation reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.
