Series 02 VL917IB Lift Interlock Installation
The VL917 can be configured for use with a cus-
tomer supplied remote interlock with either a +12V
signal (positive logic) or a ground signal (negative
logic). The lift is shipped ready to use in the nega-
tive logic mode. Below are the instructions for
proper negative logic (grounded) interlock installa-
tion. To convert to a positive logic interlock mode,
follow the instructions on supplement page 5.
(When installing a remote interlock that supplies a ground signal)
1. To connect remote interlock switch:
a. Verify male plug 3-wire jumper is in the J6
(Negative) position on circuit board located
inside pump module cover.
b. Install a 1/4" insulated female spade terminal
on end of customer supplied remote interlock
ground source wire. See Specifications
below.
c. Mounded to the pump module cover is a
female interlock plug. Exiting the back side
(inside pump cover) is a black and red wire
with 1/4" insulated male spade terminals.
d. Plug the ground source from customer sup-
plied remote interlock with the 1/4" insulated
female spade connector into the 1/4" insulated
male spade connector on the black wire exiting
the back side of the female interlock plug.
e. Remove male interlock jumper from front of
pump module cover. Store in glovebox for use
if needed when troubleshooting interlock
circuit. Note: Installing male interlock jumper
(e) will bypass customer-installed interlock
circuit and allow lift operation.
2. With lift unoccupied, test all lift functions to ensure
proper interlock installation (with interlock switch
opened and closed).

Lift Terminology
Introduction
Braun VL917 Vista Series lifts are
ADA compliant and commercial
oriented (intended for operation
by an attendant).
VL917 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.
Read and become familiar with
the lift operating instructions
appearing on lift-posted operating
instructions decals and the lift
installation instructions contained
in this manual before beginning
installation 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
throughout 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 electri-
cal components that power the
lift electric/hydraulic 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 functions.
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 mechani-
cally unfold, lower, raise and
fold the lift platform assembly.
Platform Assembly: The fold-in-
half lift platform assembly is made
up of an inboard platform section
and an outboard platform section
(each section consiting of a steel
tubing frame with grating sur-
face). The inboard roll stop and
bridge plate assembly (IB) is
mounted to the inboard platform
section. The outboard platform
section is equipped with 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 spring-
loaded automatic outboard roll
stop provides a ramp for wheel-
chair loading and unloading at
ground level.
Automatic Inboard Roll Stop
and Bridge Plate (IB): VL917
lift models are equipped with an
automatic inboard roll stop that
also serves as the 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. The roll stop/bridge
plate automatically rotates from
the horizontal (bridging) position
to the vertical (roll stop) position
as the lift lowers and raises.

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.
Stepwell Installations: When
installing a VL917 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.
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,

Pre-Installation Notes
tion of the dual-cylinder VL917
Series, hydraulic fluid expansion,
contraction or seepage may
occur. Any of these conditions
can result in platform drift (failure
to hold the platform in the folded
or raised position). Platform drift
may occur during lift shipment
and/or between extended
periods of non-lift use.
Plastic straps secure the lift in
the stowed position during
shipment. Before removing the
shipping straps, install the lift
and power the platform to the
fully folded position (press IN
switch).
Lift Ground
Two ground cables are provided.
One ground cable is connected to
the pump. The second ground
cable is external (battery
mounted). Both cables must be
mounted to a common vehicle
framing member to provide
optimum ground.
Pump Mounted Ground Cable:
A ground cable is connected to the
pump. The cable must be con-
nected to a main front-to-rear
vehicle framing member. Route,
position and secure the cable as
outlined on page 17.
Vehicle Battery Ground Cable:
The external battery ground cable
supplied with the lift must be
connected to the same vehicle
framing member that the pump
ground cable is attached to.
Note: Remove undercoating, dirt,
rust, etc. from the framing member
around ground cable mounting
holes (minimum 5/8" diameter
area). Apply a protective coating
of grease to mounting hole to
prevent corrosion. Failure to do
so will void warranty of certain
electrical components.
