Adjustments and Calibration
Adjustment Procedures
Lift Out Switch: The Lift Out Switch stops inward
travel of the carriage/platform during Stow function
(activated by the housing-mounted Lift Out Cam).
Move cam in to increase inward travel. Move cam
out to decrease inward travel.
Full Out Switch: The Full Out Switch stops out-
ward travel of the carriage/platform during Deploy
(Up/Down) functions (activated by the housing-
mounted Full Out Cam). Move cam in to decrease
outward travel. Move cam out to increase outward
travel. Carriage rollers must be inside housing a
minimum 1/2". The platform will not raise or lower
until this switch is activated.
Floor Level Switch: See page 7 for procedures.
Inboard Locator Occupied Sensor: See page 11
for procedures.
Stow Switch: The Stow Switch controls the height
of the carriage/platform before it moves inward dur-
ing the Stow function (activated by the torque tube-
mounted Stow Cam). Rotate the cam in to decrease
platform height. Rotate the cam out to increase plat-
form height. Adjust cam so lifting arms are aligned.
View the platform position in the housing.
Barrier Down Switch: This platform-mounted
switch prohibits the platform from raising unless the
outer barrier is in the full up position. The Up func-
tion is prohibited if the outer barrier detent pin is not
fully engaged also.
Drive Chain Adjustment
In event the drive chain sags 13 mm (1/2") or more,
adjust tension as detailed. Tighten to eliminate vis-
ible sag but do not overtighten.
1. Unlock and pull the manual release cable and
lock in the released position.
2. Manually extend platform carriage 2/3 full out.
3. Remove adjustment bolt (tensioner) access
cover.
4. Use deep well socket (long key sleeve) to loosen
outside jam nut. Tighten inside jam nut to elimi-
nate visible chain sag but do not overtighten.
5. Lock jam nuts together. Unlock and push the
manual cable in fully. Lock release cable. Move
the platform in and out until platform chain re-
lease assembly engages chain.
Carriage Ride Height Adjustment
The carriage horizontal arms move (roll) in and out
of the housing tracks on roller bearings. Follow-
ing installation or extensive lift operation, clearance
between horizontal arms and tracks may diminish.
The eccentric shaft mounting plate allows height
adjustment.
Remove eccentric plate mounting screw. Using
screwdriver or small rod, rotate the shaft clockwise
to increase carriage height. Rotate the shaft coun-
terclockwise to decrease carriage height. Reinstall
mounting screw in nearest retainer hole. Adjust left
and right side eccentric shafts (screw positions may
vary from side to side). Adjust height such that hori-
zontal arms do not contact top or bottom of tracks
(align center).
Calibration Procedures
Platform Sense Calibration
1. Place 20 lbs. in the center of the platform.
2. Press UP button on the hand-held pendant to
raise the platform a minimum of 3" above stow
level.
3. Press and hold 50# CAL button on control board.
While pressing the 50# CAL button, press and
hold the STOW button on the hand-held pendant.
The platform will lower to stow level, raise slightly,
lower to stow level, and begin inward travel.
Release the 50# CAL button when the platform
begins moving inward. The platform sensing is
now calibrated.
4. After calibration, the LCD screen should read “PF
OCCUPIED” when 50 lbs., or more, are present
on the platform. If 50 lbs. does not activate the
“platform occupied” signal readout, recalibrate
with less weight to lower the “occupied” setting or
more weight to increase the “occupied” setting.
Ground Sense Calibration
1. Press hand-held pendant DOWN switch to lower
platform fully to ground level.
2. While continuing to press the pendant DOWN
switch, press and then release the control board
O_BAR/GROUND LVL button.
3. Release the pendant DOWN switch. Ground
level sensing is now calibrated.
4. After calibration, the outer barrier should not
unfold (down) until the platform is fully on the
ground.
Outer Barrier Occupied Calibration
1. Press hand-held pendant DOWN switch to lower
platform fully to ground level.
2. Once outer barrier is fully unfolded (ramp posi-
tion), release the pendant DOWN switch.
3. Press and hold the control board O_BAR/
GROUND LVL button. While holding O_BAR/
GROUND LVL button, press hand-held pendant
UP switch to raise the outer barrier. Be sure to
release O_BAR/GROUND LVL button when outer
barrier reaches approximately half full up (verti-
cal) position.
4. After calibration, the LCD screen should read
“OUT-BAR OCCUPIED” whenever there is weight
present on the outer barrier.

CAUTION
Do not adjust inboard
locator linkage rod.
Linkage rod adjust-
ment may result in
lift damage.
Achieving proper floor level
positioning of the platform and
inboard locator requires a com-
bination of Floor Level switch
adjustment and inboard locator
cam adjustment. Both are fac-
tory set, but floor level position-
ing must be inspected during
installation procedures (will vary
per vehicle application).
Floor Level Requirements:
When the lift is positioned at
floor level (raised fully), the
bottom of the platform must be
above floor level (threshold mat)
and the inboard locator must
rest solidly on vehicle floor with
7° maximum angle (relative to
the platform).
Ensure the lift is positioned and
secured as specified on the
Quick Reference Installation
Sheet supplied with the lift.
Adjust the Floor Level switch
first (detailed below). If the 7°
requirement above is not met,
adjust the inboard locator cam
as detailed in Cam Adjustment
(adjust cam only if necessary).
Do not adjust the inboard loca-
tor linkage rod (see Photo G on
page 10). The linkage rod should
be adjusted to increase usable
platform length only (following all
other procedures).

Adjust the Floor Level switch first (detailed in
previous section). If the above Floor Level
Requirements are not met - adjust the inboard
locator cam as detailed in the following proce-
dures.
Note: Adjustment of the inboard locator cam
affects the speed of inboard locator deploy-
ment and torque tube/vehicle clearance.
1. Position the lift platform approximately 12"
above stow level. See Photo B. Raising
the platform will allow access to the cam
securement screw and nut. See Photo C.
2. Use an Allen wrench to prevent the cam
locking screw from turning and loosen the
3/8"serrated flange nut securing the in-
board locator cam. See Photos C and D.

the hand pump valve (turn counterclockwise) to
lower platform slightly (1/4" to 1/2"). Close valve.
See Figure A.
5. Reset the floor level switch cam to this new posi-
tion. See Photo A. Loosen the clamp securing
the torque tube-mounted Floor Level cam. Ro-
tate the torque tube-mounted Floor Level cam
until the Floor Level switch is activated (cam
depresses switch). Tighten the clamp securing
the cam.
6. Using the control pendant, check floor level posi-
tion by lowering the platform to stow level and
then pressing the UP button until the platform
raises fully (stops).
If the inboard locator rests solidly on vehicle floor
with 7° maximum angle (relative to the platform),
move to page 10 and check the usable platform
length as outlined.

is activated (cam depresses switch). Tight-
en the clamp securing the cam.
8. Using the control pendant, check floor level
position by lowering the platform to stow
level and then pressing the UP button until
the platform raises fully (stops).
9. If the inboard locator rests solidly on the
vehicle floor with 7° maximum angle (rela-
tive to platform), tighten the 3/8"serrated
flange nut and screw securing the cam.
See Photos C and D. Move to page 10
and check the usable platform length as
outlined.
If the inboard locator does not rest on the
vehicle floor (hovers above floor), adjust
the cam as detailed in Step 4.
Note: It may be necessary to repeat Steps
6-9 to meet Floor Level Requirements (see
page 8).
10. Verify there is no gap between the inboard
locator and the roll stop catch. See Photo
E. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise
to bring the roll stop catch back in contact
with the inboard locator. Do not remove
the gap by adjusting the linkage rod.
11. While holding the cam locking screw, tight-
en the 3/8" serrated flange nut securely.

Do not adjust
the inboard
locator link-
age rod unless
extra usable
platform length
is needed.
See Photo F.
Linkage rod adjustment affects angle
of inboard locator (vertical position).
CAUTION
Improper inboard
locator linkage rod
adjustment may
result in lift damage.
If the angle of the inboard locator (when
in the vertical position) restricts the usable
platform length for the wheelchair passenger,
adjustment of the linkage rod will change the
angle.
Adjust the inboard locator as detailed in the
previous procedures. Then, adjust the link-
age rod as detailed (only if necessary). If the
linkage rod is over adjusted (too long or too
short), it will exceed the travel of the slider
block resulting in damage to the cam follower
bearing, the cam and/or other components.

Linkage Rod Adjustment
1. Position the lift platform below stow
level using the manual hand pump
(turn valve counterclockwise). Do
not operate the lift with the electric
pump during adjustment procedures.
2. Loosen the jam nuts at each end of
the linkage rod. Adjust rod length
as needed. Minimize adjustment.
Provide a minimum of 1" clearance
between inboard locator and torque
tube (inboard locator must clear cyl-
inder mount). See Photo H.
3. Carefully check the inboard locator
angle and operation using the hand
pump. Ensure the linkage rod has
not been over adjusted resulting in
pressure on components (damage
will result).
4. Tighten the linkage rod jam nuts.

Adjustment Nut
Sensor Activation Bolt
1. If the weight of the empty inboard locator
is triggering the sensor while it is folding,
tighten the sensor nut 1/8 turn and cycle
the lift several times to verify correct
operation. See Photo I.
2. If the lift is not reacting to weight (pres-
sure) on the inboard locator soon
enough, loosen the pressure adjusting
nut 1/8 turn and cycle the lift several
times to verify correct operation.
3. If the inboard locator occupied alarm con-
tinues to go off even when the inboard
locator is in the vertical position, turn
the sensor activation bolt clockwise until
alarm is not activated. See Photo J.
The optimum setting for the inboard loca-
tor occupied sensor adjustment nut is to
have just enough pressure to fold and
unfold the inboard locator without triggering
the inboard locator occupied sensor. This
provides the most weight sensitive setting
while allowing the unoccupied inboard loca-
tor to function correctly.
The inboard locator sensor activates an
audible/visual alarm and stops lift motion if
the inboard locator is occupied (weight or
pressure on roll stop). Do not adjust the
inboard locator occupied sensor unless lift
does not function properly.

Maintenance and Lubrication Schedule
Maintenance and
lubrication procedures
must be performed as
specified by an
authorized service
technician. Failure to
do so may result in
serious bodily injury
and/or property
damage.

Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe,
trouble free operation. Inspecting the lift for any wear,
damage or other abnormal conditions should be a part
of the transit agency daily service program. Simple
inspections can detect potential problems.
The maintenance and lubrication procedures speci-
fied in the following schedule must be performed by a
Braun authorized service representative at the sched-
uled intervals according to the number of cycles. NUVL
Series lifts are equipped with a cycle counter (digital
display built into the electronic control board).
NUVL Series lifts are equipped with hardened pins and
self-lubricating bushings to decrease wear, provide
smooth operation and extend the service life of the lift.
When servicing the lift at the recommended intervals,
inspection and lubrication procedures specified in the
previous sections should be repeated. Clean com-
ponents and the surrounding area before applying
lubricants. LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is
recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use of im-
proper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants
which could result in wear or damage to the compo-
nents. Platform components exposed to contaminants
when lowered to the ground may require extra atten-
tion. Lift components requiring grease are lubricated
during assembly procedures. When replacing these
components, be sure to apply grease during instal-
lation procedures. Specified lubricants are available
from The Braun Corporation (part numbers provided on
previous page).
All listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance
procedures should be repeated at 750 cycle intervals
following the scheduled
4500 cycle maintenance
procedures. These inter-
vals are a general guide-
line for scheduling main-
tenance procedures and
will vary according to lift
use and conditions. Lifts
exposed to severe condi-
tions (weather, environ-
ment, contamination,
heavy usage, etc.) may
require inspection and
maintenance procedures
to be performed more
often than specified.
Maintenance Indicator: The Lift Ready green LED
mounted on top of the pump cover will change color to
yellow after every 750 cycles. The yellow LED will not
affect the functions of the lift, but is a reminder to com-
plete necessary maintenance and lubrication.
Once the lift has been serviced, press the CYCLE button
(located below LCD display on the control board) until
the Lift Ready LED changes back to green. The CYCLE
button also clears the lift cycle count (since last service)
but not the lifetime cycle count.
Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and
lubrication procedures are not properly performed, or if
there is any sign of wear, damage or improper operation.
Contact your sales representative or call The Braun Cor-
poration. One of our national Product Support represen-
tatives will direct you to an authorized service technician
who will inspect your lift.
