A-Series, under vehicle Wheelchair lifts
Verification by the installer
According the directive EN 1756-2:2004+A1:2009, the installer shall confirm the compatibility
between the lift and the vehicle.

Test of operation and safety functions .......
Deformation
- The unladen platform is positioned mid-way between ground level and vehicle
floor level and measurements are taken of the height of the platform and its
angular attitude relative to the vehicle floor.
- An evenly spread load of 125 % (438 kg) of the maximum load (350 kg) is applied
to the platform, and subsequently removed.
- By repeating measurements of the height and attitude of the platform, verify
that no permanent deformation has occurred in any part of the tail lift or its
attachment to the vehicle which could affect the function of the tail lift.
Drift
- An evenly spread load of 125 % (438 kg) of the maximum load is applied to the
platform, positioned at floor vehicle floor leve!. Measurements are taken of the
height of the platform and its angular attitude relative to the vehicle floor. These
measurements are repeated after a 15 min test period.
- Verify that the vertical drift of the platform between the two measurements has
not exceeded 15 mm.
- Verify that the angular drift of the platform between the two measurements has
not exceeded 2°.
- With the maximum load applied to the platform, verify that the tail lift is able
to operate throughout its full range of normal lifting, lowering and any tilting
movements. If the lift is unable to lift with this weight, the lifting capacity must be
increased. Proceed as follows (see also the illustration on the next page):
1. Loosen the locking nut. Use a 14 mm (or 9/16") socket or swivel joint wrench.
2. Turn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction. Use a 3/16" Allen key.
3. Retighten the locking nut. Use the Allen key to hold the adjusting screw in
position when tightening the locking nut.
- All functions of the tail lift and operations of all safety devices are verified after
the static and dynamic tests have been completed. These tests do not apply to
pipe break valves nor non-resettable safety devices such as electrical fuses (These
items are the subject of a manufacturer' s type test).
