1.4 Risk of crushing
WARNING – Risk of crushing
There is a risk of crushing when checking for brakes (section 6.2.3 “Drive unit”). Take great care
whilst working.
Self-sustaining means that the relationship between screw and nut is such that the movement of the
platform will stop if the power to the motor is shut off and the brake is lifted. Nor should the
platform be put into motion from a stationary position if the brake is lifted.
1.5 Frequency converter
WARNING – Highly dangerous voltage
When servicing the frequency converter – motor (extra option) the power must be disconnected for
at least 20 minutes in order for the capacitors to discharge and prevent service personnel from
being injured by live components.
Refer to Risk Assessment No. Cibes Lift/A5000/04.
Warning text placed on the platform’s sensitive edge.
1.6 Action to be taken in the event of an electrical accident
The following action is to be taken in the event of an electrical accident:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If the injured person is breathing, but is unconscious, he/she should be placed in the
recovery position.
4. Summon personnel at the workplace trained in first aid and call an ambulance.

2 Operating instructions
2.1 Operation of the platform lift
2.1.1 Control panel
The platform is equipped with a handle and a control panel with large, easy to use control buttons.
On the control panel there is: an alarm button, see Figure 3 item 3, an emergency stop button, item
4, and directional landing buttons, item 1. The lift is controlled via impulses from the external
operating buttons (CALL).
The push button must be kept depressed throughout the travel (continuous pressure device). If
released, the platform lift will stop immediately. When the platform lift reaches the correct
landing, it will stop automatically.
The inside platform push buttons take priority over the outside landing call buttons, i.e. the outside
landing call buttons will not work if someone is travelling at the same time.
In the event of an emergency situation, there is an emergency stop button. This emergency button
cuts off the power to the platform lift, which will stop immediately. After it has been depressed,
the emergency stop button must be turned clockwise to enable the platform lift to operate again.
Always check that the emergency stop button is not depressed if the platform lift is not working.

2.2 Emergency situation
2.2.1 Emergency signal and telephone
In order for a trapped person to be able to call for help with an operating failure, the lift is
equipped with an emergency signal device. When the alarm button is pressed in the emergency
signal sounds. The emergency signal can be forwarded to an alarm centre or the like via a potential
free contact on the charge alarm card (located in the electrical compartment), see Figure 16 item 1.
Refer to the wiring diagram for more information.
The emergency signal device is powered by the lift's own accumulator (battery) in the event of a
power failure. The lift must always be connected to the telephone network either via the standard
telephone or via the lift telephone, which automatically calls the alarm centre or the like.
Functions
Emergency signal
The emergency signal sounds as long as the emergency signal button is held pressed in. When the
button is kept pressed in for more than 10 seconds, a signal can be forwarded to the alarm centre,
reception or the like via a potential free contact (see wiring diagram).
Wall telephone
The incoming telephone line is connected to terminals 3 and 4 on the charge alarm card.
Moving a jumper on the charge alarm card, Figure 4 item 2, allows you to choose whether the
telephone line should always be open (position A) or if it should be opened when the emergency
signal button is held down for ten seconds (position B). When the jumper is moved this must be
confirmed by pressing in the reset button on the charge alarm card, see Figure 4 item 1.
Auto dialler
The incoming telephone line is connected to terminals 3 and 4 Figure 4 on the charge alarm card.
The jumper on the charge alarm card must always be in position B when the lift is fitted with an
automatic lift telephone.
When the emergency signal button is held down for 10 seconds the lift telephone automatically
calls a pre-programmed number (can be to an alarm centre or caretaker, etc).
In some countries, it is permitted to equip the lift with an intercom with a permanent
connection between the transmitter and receiver.
The line to the emergency telephone/lift telephone automatically resets after 1 hour. Can also be
reset manually with the reset button, which is located on the charge alarm card in the lift's
electrical compartment, see Figure 16 item 2.

2.2.2 Manual lowering or raising
If the platform lift should stop and not restart, the platform can be manually lowered or lifted by
using a manual crank. The crank is usually located at the bottom landing inside a locked panel (it
may sometime be situated on another landing). It is easier to lower the platform lift downwards if
it has stopped between two floors. It is possible to move the platform lift upwards but it requires
much greater effort.
The lift is also available as an option with electrical emergency lowering. Electrical emergency
lowering permits emergency lowering with a control on the electrical compartment, see Figure 16
pos 5.
If possible, carry out fault finding according to section 4 before starting emergency lowering.
Warning! Check that no one can be injured during emergency lowering. Inform persons in or in
the vicinity of the lift of the risk for crush injures that can exist when lowering. Be sure to close all
doors to the lift before starting emergency lowering. This is to ensure that no one can fall down
into the shaft if a door remains open.
Move the platform lift manually in the following way:
1. Switch off the main power switch in the electrical compartment see section 1.3.
2. Release the manual crank Figure 1 item 5 from the clamps item 4.
3. Move the platform lift manually to the closest landing (downwards). The direction of
rotation is shown on a sign beside the crank.
2.2.3 Emergency opening of doors from the inside and outside of the lift shaft
The doors can always be emergency opened from the outside using the supplied triangular key. All
doors with landing levels 0 – 2.5 m have a bistable switch Figure 5 item 2 for the emergency
opening mechanism item 1. This means that when the door is emergency opened using the
triangular key the switch is actuated and the lift is deactivated. The lift must be reset from the
electrical compartment, Figure 16 item 9, each time it is emergency opened using the triangular
key. Make sure the key is turned to its end position so that the rear contact in the lock is activated.
It then gives a signal to release all locks on the lift so that the safety circuit makes. The safety
circuit must be made in order for the lift to be reset, see Figure 16 item 9.

3.2.1 Shield wall dismounting and mounting
NOTE!
When removing the whole shield wall you should always start from the top to minimise the risk of
a panel sliding down and causing damage.
You must use the shield wall opener in order to dismantle the shield wall, this is supplied with
each lift see Figure 1 item 3.
Place the shield wall opener as shown in Figure 12, and press on the handle until the snap on
profile releases its grip on the shield wall profile. The rest of the snap on profile can then easily be
loosened by hand. Remove the snap on profiles on both sides of the shield wall panel.
Note!
When dismantling the lowest shield wall cassette, the prop must always be folded out as set out in
section 1.3.1. Also unscrew the screws fitted in the cassette.
When mounting, replace the shield wall panels, set the snap on profile in the groove, and press
along the whole of the snap on profile so that a clicking sound can be heard from the profile.
Always check that the snap on the profile is gripping properly after installation.
Check when servicing that the panel positioned 900 mm from the floor is secured to the shield wall
panel by two screws, positioned 60 mm in from the edge.
When the lift has a travel height greater than 6 metres the middle shield wall panel must also be
screwed into position.
