Lift Terminology
Introduction
Braun L915 Millennium Series
lifts are ADA compliant and
commercial oriented (intended
for operation by an attendant).
The L915 Millennium Lift Series
includes variations of lift models
L915, L916, L917, L918 and
L919. Model numbers indicate
lift dimensions and options.
Lift model numbers with suffix
“IB” are equipped with an auto-
matic mechanical inboard roll
stop that also serves as the
bridge plate. Lift model numbers
without suffix “IB” feature a
combination stationary inboard
roll stop with an independent
hinged bridge plate. Inboard roll
stop and bridge plate details are
provided in Lift Components (at
right).
L915 Series lift models can be
equipped with left or right side
pump modules as needed. Lift
model numbers with suffix “F”
are right side (front) pump
equipped and model numbers
without suffix “F” are equipped
with a left side (rear) pump. A
left side pump-equipped lift
model is depicted in the Lift
Terminology Illustration. Right
side pump lift models are a
mirrored image of rear pump
models (pump module located on
opposite end of base plate).
Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustration for identification of lift
components.
Lift installation and lift operation
procedures are identical for all
L915 Series lift models. Read
and become familiar with the lift
operating instructions appearing
on lift-posted operating instruc-
tions decals and the lift installa-
tion instructions contained in this
manual before beginning installa-
tion procedures.
Terminology: Become familiar
with the terminology that will be
used throughout this manual.
Become familiar with the identifi-
cation of lift components and their
functions. Contact your lift sales
representative or call The Braun
Corporation at 1-800-THE LIFT if
any of this information is not fully
understood.
Direction: The terms "left (rear),"
"right (front)," "inboard," and
"outboard" will be used through-
out this manual to indicate
direction (as viewed from outside
the vehicle looking directly at the
lift). Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustration for clarification of
direction terms.
Lift Components
Pump Module: The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the
hydraulic pump, the manual hand
pump and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hydrau-
lic systems.
Hand-held Switch Control Box:
The “quick-disconnect” hand-held
control switchbox is connected to
the pump module. “Quick-
disconnect” hand-held controls
are available with three types of
cable (standard, armored and
coiled). The control box is
equipped with two color-coded
rocker switches, (UNFOLD/FOLD
and DOWN/UP). The switches
activate the automatic lift func-
tions.
Lift Frame: The lift frame
consists of the base plate, two
towers, the parallel arms, the
vertical arms, platform pivot arms
and the handrails. The two main
hydraulic cylinders are housed in
the parallel arms. The electrical/
hydraulic powered lift frame
components mechanically unfold,
lower, raise and fold the lift
platform assembly.
Platform Assembly: The lift
platform assembly consists of the
steel tubing frame with grating
surface upon which the wheel-
chair is positioned, the outboard
roll stop, roll stop latch, the
inboard roll stop, and the hydrau-
lic cylinder assembly that powers
the outboard roll stop.
Lift-Tite
™
Latch: The spring
loaded latches prevent the
platform from unfolding from the
stowed position in event of
platform drift.
Outboard Roll Stop: The
cylinder-powered automatic
outboard roll stop provides a
ramp for wheelchair loading and
unloading at ground level.
Roll Stop Latch: The spring-
loaded latch locks the outboard
roll stop in the vertical position
when the platform raises above
ground level.
Automatic Inboard Roll Stop
and Bridge Plate (IB): L915 “IB”
lift models are equipped with an
automatic mechanical inboard roll
stop that also serves as the
bridge plate (shown in the Lift
Terminology Illustration on page
2). The mechanical roll stop/
bridge plate automatically rotates
from the horizontal (bridging)
position to the vertical (roll stop)
position as the lift lowers and
raises.
Fixed Inboard Roll Stop: A
stationary inboard roll stop is built
into “non-IB” L915 lift platforms.
Independent Hinged Bridge
Plate: “Non-IB” L915 lift models
are equipped with an independent
hinged bridge plate (shown in the
Lift Terminology Illustration on
page 2). The bridge plate bridges
the gap between the lift platform
and the vehicle floor.
