lift-posted operating
instructions decals
before performing

Pre-Installation Notes
Dimensions are defined as
finished door opening, including
any intrusive door jambs, head-
ers, sills or hinges. Any intrusive
obstructions within the Clear Door
Opening must be removed.
Open the door(s) fully and check
the clear door opening dimen-
sions. Minimum clear door
opening dimensions specified
in Lift Dimensions per lift
model must be provided. See
the Lift Dimensions section for a
complete listing of minimum clear
door opening dimensions appli-
cable to your lift model.
Braun Bus Door Kits: Braun
Retrofit Bus Door Kits are
available to provide the required
clear opening dimensions.
Contact your Braun sales
representative or consult the
factory.
Van Applications: The re-
quired minimum clear door
opening height varies depend-
ing on the particular lift model.
L915 lift models will not fit in
standard height (OEM) van door
openings (except in 4" lowered
floor applications). A Raised
Door Kit must be used.
Braun Raised Top Kits and
Raised Door Kits are available
to provide the minimum required
clear door opening dimensions.
Contact your Braun dealer or
consult the factory.
Stepwell Installations: When
installing an L915 model lift in
the side cargo door (with
stepwell), it is not permissible
for the base plate to overhang
the stepwell. Additional base
plate support must be con-
structed in the stepwell for lift
support if the base plate over-
hangs the open stepwell. See
page 11 for details.

Remove any obstruc-
tions within the lift
mounting/operating
area prior to begin-
ning installation
procedures. Failure
to do so may result
in serious bodily
injury and/or property
damage.
Rear Door and Extensive
Floor-to-Ground Installa-
tions:
Rear door and extensive floor-
to-ground installations may
require base plate mounting
wedges (shims). The top of the
lift may need to be tilted inboard
slightly to increase platform and
vertical arm kickout and/or
provide minimum clearances (to
provide adequate clearance
between lift and vehicle). See
page 12 for details.
Obstructions:
Any obstructions within the door
opening (such as additional
seats, molding, lights, brackets,
etc.) as well as any obstructions
within the lift mounting/operating
area must be removed. Plastic,
rubber or metal molding that
creates an uneven mounting
surface should be removed.
The molding can be modified to
fit around the base plate following
lift installation procedures.
There must be a minimum 1/8"
clearance between the de-
ployed bridge plate assembly
and any obstruction on the
vehicle floor (such as a rubber
sill or threshold). See Figure S
on page 23.
