3.4 Measures before working on the lift

The lift must always be disconnected from the mains supply using the safety circuit breaker before work
or emergency lowering is started. The lift may also need to be disconnected from the mains supply using
an external switch when work needs to be carried out on the safety circuit breaker or supply cables
(external wiring is not included in the delivery, refer to local regulations).

3.5 Conditions of use

B385 vertical platform is a platform without a shaft used for transportation of the disabled between the
two agreed levels.

B385 vertical platform may be installed inside or outside buildings, scope of temperatures: -35 – +45ºC.

We recommend you sign a contract for platform maintenance. This will guarantee your B385 platform is
in optimal technical condition as a result of regular maintenance and service.

3.6 Actions in the event of electrical accidents

1. The following actions should be taken in the event of electrical accidents:

2. Switch the power off immediately. Should it not be possible to switch off the power, the
injured person must be released from the live component. A non-conductive material must be
used when removing the injured person, for example, rubber gloves. If possible, the person
performing the freeing action should stand on an isolating surface.
3. If the injured person is not breathing, ensure that the airways are clear and start artificial
respiration. In the event of cardiac arrest, give cardiac massage.
4. If the injured person is breathing, but is unconscious, he/she should be placed in the recovery
position.
5. Summon personnel at the workplace trained in first aid and call an ambulance.

5 Operating instruction
5.1 General

B385 vertical platform is equipped with a control panel on the platform and two call panels at stops. The
control panel has travel buttons, “UP”, “DOWN” and an emergency “STOP” button. The call panel is
equipped with travel buttons, “UP” and “DOWN”. The B385 platform has also limitation of access by
means of a radio remote which turns the control on and off. This remote control can be used only by
persons trained by the manufacturer, who have become familiar with its operation.

Before travelling, press a button on the radio remote to start up control and activate the travel direction
buttons.

Keep the travel button pressed all the time when travelling. Releasing the button will stop the platform.
The platform will stop automatically after reaching a stop.

The platform is called to the required level by pressing a button on the call panel. Make sure the buttons
are pressed and held during travelling. A gate can be opened after the platform stops at the stop. After
closing the gate, the platform can be sent to the desired stop by pressing the correct button.

If the platform has more than one user, it is important to close the gate again allowing other persons to call
the platform to another level.

The emergency stop button is used in case of danger and stops the travel. An activated button must be
turned in order return it to its normal position.

B385 vertical platform is equipped with a radio remote to restrict access. It is used to activate the above
functions of the control buttons.

8.1.1 Basic maintenance

Should be done once a month. The main reason of this review is to check the current platform is safe for
operation.

8.1.2 An overview of the main unit

Should be done once a year. This is the main maintenance inspection, which aims to ground maintenance
of individual components and elements of the platform.

8.2 Tasks for basic maintenance

1. Check that the emergency stop button on the platform works.

2. Check that the safety bars on the barrier platform work.

3. Check the operation and safety of the floor mounting plate, the downward movement
must be interrupted whenever a platform is raised.

4. Let theplattform gates be open, then try to run the lift in both directions. The platform
should not move in any direction.

8.3 Tasks for overview of the main unit

1. Check the crank's switch by raising it, also check the possibility of manual, emergency
lowering of the platform.

2. Check that the emergency stop button on the platform works.

3. Check that the safety strip on the barrier of the platform works.

4. Check the switch of latch when leaving stops with an open gate. The platform must
stop on the way less than 100 mm from the stop.

5. Check the safety plate under the floor, travel down must be stopped whenever the plate
is raised.

6. Check the limit switch by switching it on when travelling up.

7. Check the switch supervising a driving nut by switching it on when travelling up. Also
check whether it is properly adjusted, the wheel must be approximately 0.5 mm from
the nut's surface.

8.4 Check wear of drive cap

1. Dismantle the lower panel at the front of the motor room and remove the lower shield
on the control panel. Travel to the lower stop with the platform.

2. A measurement tool is fitted on the platform beam. It must be possible to insert this
between the main and safety nuts. If it is not possible replace both caps. The distance
between the new nuts should be 1.5 mm larger than the width of the tool's end.

Figure 2 Check the drive nut wear

3. Measure drive nut wear using the measurement tool (1) Figure 2.

4. During normal operations the measuring tool is located at (2).

8.5 Lubricating

1. Remove the panels at the front of the motor room and remove the lower panel on the
control panel. Lubricate the driving screw and guides.

2. Lubricate the screw with grease, travel up and down several times with the platform;
continue until the screw is coated on its whole length. Remove excess grease from the
cap.

3. Use a lubricant designed for lubrication of open screw gear, strings, ropes, chains and
firmly loaded sliding bearings. This has been formulated to reduce maximum friction
and wear on the screw mechanism while minimising the consumption of grease. The
lubricant does not require heating or solvents and its application is easier and more
economical compared to conventional lubricants.
