2. CAUTIONS
General
• It is the responsibility of operating staff to ensure that the aircraft is not damaged while the
wheelchair lift is in use.
• All precise manoeuvring (i.e. alignment with aircraft or parking) should be performed using the
push handles. Do not tow the lift close to any aircraft.
• Do not attempt to crank up the lift platform from on the lift. A lift operator on the ground is
required.
• When parked, the lift should be cabled and locked to a permanent structure if it is accessible to
vandalism or susceptible to jet blasts. (See general operating notes.)
• The platform crank handle should always be returned to the vertical position and folded in
except when it is being cranked.
• Wheelchair passengers must be accompanied by an attendant on the lift to stabilize the
wheelchair while the lift is raised and lowered.
• When used with the Beech 1900 C and D models and the Fairchild Metro, a spotter must be
used to guard the propeller. The configuration of both planes requires particular care. Please
refer to the end of the Operating section for detailed instructions.
• The platform must be cleared of ice and snow in winter and gravel in the summer.
Bridge Ramp and Ground Ramp
• Do not attempt to extend or retract the ramps while on the lift deck or from inside the aircraft,
this must be done by the lift operator on the ground.
• Raise the platform before retracting the bridge ramp from the aircraft’s door sill to avoid
dragging and dropping the bridge ramp.
• The bridge ramp must be supported by at least a 3” overlap on the sill of the aircraft over the
entire width of the ramp.
• The end of the ground ramp should rest flat on the ground or it may become damaged when
loading or unloading passengers from the lift platform.
• Raise ground ramp prior to elevating the wheelchair platform.
Towing
• No passengers or equipment are to ride on lift while being towed.
