Switch Adjustment Instructions 1. Position platform at the fully stowed position using the manual hand pump or the pendant control. 2. If control board Tower 4 LED (D6) is on, turn Tower 4 switch adjustment screw clockwise until the light turns off. 3. Slowly reverse and turn the same adjustment screw counterclockwise until D6 just turns on. Then stop. 4. Position platform at floor level using the manual hand pump or the pendant control. 5. If control board Tower 1 LED (D3) is on, turn Tower 1 switch adjustment screw counterclockwise until the light turns off. 6. Slowly reverse and turn the same adjustment screw clockwise until D3 just turns on. Then stop.

Slowly reverse and turn the same adjustment screw counterclockwise until D4 just turns on. Then turn the same adjustment screw counterclockwise an additional 1/2 turn. 9. If control board Bridge LED (D2) is off, turn the Bridge switch adjustment screw clockwise until the light turns on. 10. Stow the lift, watching control board Tower 3 LED (D5). Ensure LED (D5) turns on when the platform reaches the halfway stowed position (approximately 45°).
Outer Barrier
Vehicle movement is prevented unless the platform is fully stowed.
Verify platform lighting when lift is deployed and pendant illumination when lift is powered.
Lift operation shall be prevented unless the vehicle is stopped and vehicle movement is prevented.
An audio warning (and visual warning for public lifts) will activate if at least 25 pounds is on the threshold area when the platform is at least one inch below floor level.
The platform will not fold/stow when at least 50 pounds is on the platform. The inner rollstop will not raise if occupied by at least 25 pounds. The outer barrier will not raise if occupied by at least 25 pounds.
Lowering the platform beyond the inner rollstop locking position is allowed only when the inner rollstop is locked in position. Raising the platform more than 3” off of the ground is prevented unless the outer barrier is raised. Process, fold and insert completed document in the lift-mounted operator’s manual storage pouch.

TO REMOVE PUMP COVER:
The maintenance and lubrication procedures specified in this schedule must be performed by a Braun authorized service representative at the scheduled intervals according to the number of cycles.
2. Insert handle into backup pump and stroke until platform reaches floor level (see Photo F).
Braun dual parallel arm lifts are equipped with hardened pins and self-lubricating bushings to decrease wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service life of the lift.
TO FOLD PLATFORM (IN): Insert handle into backup pump and stroke until platform stops (folds fully). See Photo F.
When servicing the lift at the recommended intervals, inspection and lubrication procedures specified in the previous sections should be repeated. Clean the components and the surrounding area before applying lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants which could result in wear or damage to the components. Platform components exposed to contaminants when lowered to the ground may require extra attention.
TO STORE PUMP HANDLE: 1. Insert bottom of handle behind bottom clip. See Photo B. 2. Rotate top clip to secure (lock) handle. See Photo C. TO INSTALL PUMP COVER: 1.

1500 Cycles
All listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance procedures should be repeated at “750 cycle” intervals following the scheduled “4500 Cycles” maintenance. These intervals are a general guideline for scheduling maintenance procedures and will vary according to lift use and conditions. Lifts exposed to severe conditions (weather, environment, contamination, heavy usage, etc.) may require inspection and maintenance procedures to be performed more often than specified.
Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and lubrication procedures are not properly performed, or if there is any sign of wear, damage or improper operation. Contact your sales representative or call The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT. One of our national Product Support representatives will direct you to an authorized service technician who will inspect your lift.
Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during assembly procedures. When these
