2. CAUTIONS:

General

1. It is the responsibility of operating staff to ensure that the aircraft is not damaged while the

wheelchair lift is in use.

2. All precise maneuvering (i.e. alignment with aircraft or parking) should be performed using the push

handles. Do not tow lift too close to aircraft.

3. Do not attempt to crank up the lift deck from on the lift. A lift operator on the ground is required.

4. 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.)

5. The deck crank handle should always be returned to the vertical position and folded in except when

it is actually being cranked.

6. Passengers on wheelchairs must be accompanied by an attendant on the lift to stabilize the

wheelchair while the lift is raised and lowered.

7. 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

Bridge Ramp - Ground Ramp

1. Do not attempt to extend or retract the ramps from on the lift deck or from inside the aircraft, this

must be done by the lift operator on the ground.

2. The bridge ramp must be supported by at least a 3” overlap with the floor of the aircraft for the entire

width of the ramp.

3. 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 deck.

4. Close deck gate prior to elevating deck.

Towing

1. No passengers or equipment are to ride on lift while being towed.

2. Maximum towing speed is 8 km/hr (5 mph).

3. Wheels must be fully lowered prior to towing.

Counterbalance Springs and Gas Cylinders

1. A large amount of energy is stored in the springs and gas cylinders used for the deck and wheel

counterbalances (respectively). Improper servicing can result in serious injury. In all cases,

contact Adaptive Engineering Ltd. for detailed information regarding servicing of these

components.

3. FEATURES

Convenience

Cranking System

The high-efficiency crank system is counter-balanced to allow two adults to be lifted to maximum

height with very little effort in less than 45 seconds.

Self-leveling Ground Contacts

Automatic self-leveling of lift on uneven ground.

Tow Bar

Tow bar with integral brake release allows towing by tarmac tractors.

Spare Tire

A spare tire is attached to the Mobilift. The “quick release” design allows a wheel to be changed in less

than 2 minutes without tools.

Safety

Outriggers

Safety features that reduce the chance of overturning should a jet blast strike the lift. The lift is

designed not to overturn in a 90 mile per hour wind.

Deck Interlock

The lift deck cannot be raised unless the outriggers are extended, and the ground ramp gate is latched.

Bridge Ramp Gate

The bridge ramp gate opens automatically when the bridge ramp is lowered onto the aircraft doorsill.

Parking Brake

Automatically prevents the lift from rolling when unattended.

Emergency Lowering Crank

The lifting mechanism of the Mobilift AX / AXR is designed to lock in place in the unlikely event of a

mechanical failure. The self-braking system can be overridden using the emergency lowering crank to

lower the deck to the ground.

Bumper Pad

Non-marking urethane bumpers cushion inadvertent contact with the aircraft reducing risk of damage.

6. OPERATION DETAILS

Bracketed numbers refer to parts that are labeled on figures in Section 8.

Operators who are using the lift with the Beech 1900 and Fairchild Metroliner, please refer to special

instructions at the end of this section.

To Move The Lift:

I. Raising Lift onto Wheels

a) The first step is to crank the lift up onto its wheels. To do this, turn the wheel crank handle

[16] clockwise until the wheels are in the full down position.

b) Visually inspect the main tires to make sure they are not under-inflated. If a tire is under-

inflated, the spare can be used or the tire can be re-inflated to the proper operating pressure.

(See Tires, in the Maintenance Section).

c) Check that the outriggers are locked in the fully retracted position. The locking handles

[42] must be engaged into the keyhole slots [43] on the positioning handles [43] to prevent

vibrations from causing the outriggers to extend while moving the lift.

II. Moving Lift Using Push Handles

a) Pull both push handles [17] down to release the automatic parking brake. The purpose of

this parking brake is to prevent the lift rolling when it is not in use. If there is any indication

that the brake is not operating properly, it must be repaired immediately.

b) To move the lift, apply a slight downward force on the push handles and push or pull as

necessary. (If the lift is being pushed on rough ground it can be quite noisy from cable

rattle. This is normal.)

IMPORTANT:

• All precise maneuvering (i.e. alignment with aircraft or parking) should be performed using

the push handles not a tractor on the tow bar.

Towing Lift Behind Vehicle

The lift can be towed behind a vehicle at a maximum speed of 8 km/hr (5 mph).

a) Lowering the tow bar [20] to attach to the towing vehicle will automatically release the

parking brake.

b) The tow bar is designed with a rubber cushioned tow ring, 17/8inches inside diameter at a

height of 18 inches. Contact Adaptive Engineering if your towing equipment does not

match the supplied tow ring.

IMPORTANT:

• No passengers or equipment are to ride on lift while being towed.

• Maximum towing speed is 8 km/hr (5 mph).

• Wheels must be fully lowered prior to towing.

• Perform all fine maneuvering with the push handles only. Do not tow lift too close to the

aircraft.

III. Aligning Lift with Aircraft

a) Carefully push the lift toward the aircraft and align the ramp with the doorway.

b) If there are stairs in place, bring the lift as close as possible to the stairs, there is a bumper

[47] on the front of the tow bar to reduce the chance of damaging the stair or lift if contact is

made.

c) If there are no stairs in place, bring the lift close to the fuselage of the aircraft using caution

not to push the end of the deck under the fuselage, see figure below. The high alignment

bumper [46] will set the minimum spacing for the Boeing 737 and MD80.

Possible

damage when

lift too close.

Alignment bumper,

proper positioning

Up to 2’ away

Contact not necessary

d) Once the lift is in position, release the push handles allowing them to return to the upright

position automatically applying the parking brake.

e) Extend the outriggers by releasing the safety locking handles and pulling the outrigger

handles outward to the fully extended position. As a safety feature, the lift deck cannot be

raised unless the outriggers are extended. The two outriggers on each side of the lift are

interconnected to make them move at the same time. Watch that the outriggers do not

contact the propeller, landing gear or other obstacles while extending.

f) Lower the lift to the ground by turning the wheel crank handle [16] counter-clockwise. Note

that the lift is designed to rest on the two outriggers of the tow bar end, and the automatic

leveling device on the push handle end of the lift. The two outriggers on the push handle

end of the lift contact the ground but do not take load unless strong tipping forces are

applied to the lift.

Cautions:

• Use extreme caution when approaching the aircraft to avoid damaging contact between the

lift and any part of the aircraft.

• Perform all maneuvering near the aircraft with the push handles only. Do not tow the lift

directly up to the aircraft.

IV. Stowing the Lift

a) Park the wheelchair lift away from the aircraft with the wheels up, or in an enclosure, so

there is no possibility of it causing damage to aircraft or other airport equipment.

b) If the lift could be subjected to high winds it should be fastened securely to a permanent fixture or

be stowed inside an enclosure. An optional enclosure is available from the manufacturer.

c) The Mobilift is designed for durable reliability but it could be damaged by foreign object

debris (FOD). The lift should be stored at a location to minimize this hazard.

To Load A Passenger In A Wheelchair Onto The Aircraft:

I. Transferring a Passenger to a Boarding Chair

Consult the boarding chair manufacturer’s instructions for the proper procedures for transferring

passengers to and from the boarding chair.

II. Lowering the Ground Ramp and Opening the Deck Gate

Release the ground ramp [12] by unlatching the blue handgrip from its keyhole. Pivot the

ground ramp down to ground level.

Open the deck gate [44] by unlatching the deck gate latch [45] on the lifting crank side of the

lift, and allow the gate to swing fully open.

IMPORTANT:

• 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 deck.
