1 Safety instructions
1.1 General
Work on the platform lift may only be carried out by trained and competent persons.
1.2 Safety actions prior to working on the platform lift
The lift must always be disconnected from the mains supply using the main power switch
before work or emergency lowering is started. The lift may also need to be disconnected from
the mains supply using an external disconnector when work needs to be carried out on the main
power switch or supply cables (external wiring is not included in the delivery, refer to local
regulations).
Switch off the main power switch as follows:
1. Remove the electrical compartment panel situated on the right or left hand side of the
platform lift door, on the bottom landing.
NOTE! The main power switch is behind the panel. The electrical compartment could also
be situated on another floor, or be situated in an external electrical compartment.
2. Switch off the lift unit’s main power switch and place a warning sign prominently at each
platform lift entrance advising of work in progress.

1.3 Risk of crushing
WARNING – Risk of crushing
There is a risk of crushing when checking for self-sustaining (section 6.2.3 “Drive unit”. Take
great care whilst working.
Self sustaining i.e. no movement of the platform lift unless under power.
1.4 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.
1.5 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 handrail and a control panel with large, easy to use push
buttons. The control panel has an alarm button item 5 an emergency stop button item 4 and a
number of directional landing buttons item 2, see Figure 3. There are outside “call” buttons at
each landing.
The push button must be kept depressed throughout the travel. 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 button cuts off
the power to the platform lift, which will stop immediately. The emergency stop button must
after it has been depressed 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 15 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.
• 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 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 14 item 2.
• Automatic lift telephone
The incoming telephone line is connected to terminals 3 and 4 on the charge alarm card.
The jumper on the charge alarm card must always be in position B.
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 is automatically reset 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 15 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 the electrical
compartment (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.
If possible, carry out fault finding according to section 4.
Move the platform lift manually in the following way:
1. Switch off the main power switch in the electrical compartment see section 1.2.
2. Release the manual crank Figure 1 item 5 from the clamps item 4 (if not in place, check
that the crank is not stored elsewhere).
3. Move the platform lift manually in either direction. The rotation is shown on 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 opened in an emergency from the outside with the help of the supplied
triangular key.
Emergency opening from the outside
Carry out fault finding in accordance with section 4 and then manual lowering or raising
according to section 2.2.2.
Emergency release the door according to the following.
1. Switch off the power in accordance with section .1.2
2. Remove the plastic plug located above the door leaf, see Figure 1 item 2. Place the special
triangular tool, supplied on delivery, in the hole. Turn to the left or right (depending on
how the door is hung) to lift the latch bolt and the door can then be opened.

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 collapse.
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 11, 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. In
order to remove a shield wall panel in the middle of the enclosure, the snap on profiles will have
to be removed on two shield wall panels. The shield wall panels are then removed one at a time.
NOTE!
When dismantling shield wall panels under the lifting platform, the safety pit prop must always
be in its activated safety position in accordance with section 1.2.1.
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.
Check when servicing that the cassette 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 cassette with a
height of 3 metres must also be screwed into position.

3.3 Overload protection
Cibes Lift A5000 is equipped with overload protection that prevents the lift from being operated
with an excessive load.
The platform is tested at the factory and the overload protection is set to a value that does not
exceed 20 % of the rated load. This value can be found on the test report supplied with the lift.
The overload protection is in the form of a mechanical torque arm. It acts through the platform
bending when loaded and forcing an arm, which is attached on the rear edge of the platform, to
move. This actuates a switch. When this occurs, an audio and visual signal is activated.
When the platform is overloaded when standing at a landing level, it is not possible to start the
lift. The lift can only be started by reducing the load, so that the platform is loaded at the most
with rated load, and the audio and visual signal has ceased.
If the overload protection is activated while travelling, the audio and visual signal will sound
and flash, but travel continues to the next landing level. It is then impossible to start the lift until
the load on the platform has been reduced.
3.4 Lighting
The platform lift is equipped with an emergency lighting situated above the control panel. This
lighting is lit in the event of a power cut, and works from a 12 V emergency battery with power
to last for 2 hours.
