1.02 Purpose and Use
Purpose
The LP12 lifting platform is a mobile lifting platform which spans the distance
as well as equalizes the differences of height between the railway station
platform and the train.
Conditions
The LP12 lifting platform must not be put into service until the entire user´s
manual has been read.
Use
When moving the lifting platform, proceed as follows:
From a standing position, push/pull the lifting platform to set it in motion using
your body wieght.
When turning the lifting platform, it can be pulled to reduce the center of
rotation.
Or, in places where space is restricted, the lifting platform can be pushed to
reduce the turning radius.
1.03 Important/Warnings
• Do not exceed the max. load of 300 kg.
• The lifting platform is built for lifting wheelchair users.
• The lifting platform should only be used on an level surface.
• Always fasten the safety belts when lifting is in progress.
• Always make sure that the brakes of the lifting platform are applied during
lifting and lowering.
• Be sure to stand clear of the lifting platform when it is being used.
• Avoid collision of the lifting platform with persons or objects.
• Do not use the lifting platform in places where it may come into contact with
large quanties of water.

1.04 Unpacking and preparation
Visual check of lift
Should the packaging be damaged on receipt, each part of LP12 must be
carefully examined for visible defects or deficiencies. In case of suspected
damage, do not use the lifting platform until authorised by qualified service
staff or the Guldmann Service Team.
Preparation of the lifting platform
Charge the batteries of the lifting platform, see under 1.10 on charging.
After charging, the lifting platform is ready for use.
1.05 Parts list

2. Charger
2.00 Description of functions
2.01 Labels
• Chassis number
• 24 V DC
2.02 Operation
Operation and indicator light
The lifting platform will be switched on automatically when one of the buttons
on the control panel is pressed. The green indicator light is switched on when
the lifting platform is being used. The yellow or red indicator light will be
switched on 10 to 15 seconds after the last lift has been carried out to indicate
that the lifting platform is to be recharged.
Working the lifting platform
Unlock the lifting platform with a key
(pos. 1). Lift up the front edge of the
access ramp and push it towards the
back (pos. 2) of the lifting platform, thus
disengaging the lock which must be
kept during the operation of the lifting
platform.
Then raise the steering handle
and turn it 90 degrees into steering
position (pos. 3), release the brakes
(pos. 4) by pressing down the right
side of the brake pedal.

15
Place the front part of the lifting platform as close to the place of descent
as possible. Activate the brakes (pos. 4) by pressing down the left side of
the brake pedal. Always make sure that the brakes of the lifting platform are
applied during lifting and lowering. Turn the steering handle (pos. 3) back
to the starting position. Raise the rails (pos. 7), fit on the safety chain and
loosen the safety belts.
Important!
Always fasten the safety belts
when lifting is in progress.
Release the emergency stop
(pos. 5, page 14). Elevate the
lifting platform to the height of
the place of descent and then
place the access ramp (pos. 6)
onto the place of descent.
Unfasten the safety chain (pos.
23) when the lifting platform is
level with the place of descent,
and position the access ramp
for the descent. Loosen the
safety belts and descending
can now take place.
Switch off the main power after
use by means of the emergency
stop to prevent loss of power.
When in doubt about the use
of the lifting platform, consult
your supplier.
2.03 Brakes
The brakes are activated by pressing down the
left side of the brake pedal and released by
pressing down the right side of the brake pedal.
Always make sure that the brakes of the lifting
platform are applied during lifting and lowering.
The brakes are partly self-adjusting, but after
having been used for some time, they will tend to
“droop” and must be adjusted in the following way:
Remove the cover (pos. 19). Turn the adjusting
screws (pos. 20) so that the distance between the brake rod and
the wheel is no more than 3 mm, see illustration under 4.04 (pos. 21).
Release the brakes when making the adjustment.

2.04 Safety functions
Important!
The emergency stop must only be used in case of failure/emergencies. The
supplier should be contacted before the lifting platform is put into service
again.
Description of the emergency stop function
If the lifting platform does not react to the control functions when it is in
motion – Press the emergency stop device. When the emergency stop has
been activated, all other functions of the lifting platform are put out of action.
Description of the safety list
function
A safety edge (pos. 16) has been
placed between the platform and
the bottom frame to eliminate the
risk of squeezing. If the safety
edge is activated during lowe-
ring, the lowering of the platform
will automatically stop and it will
be elevated a little. The lifting
platform cannot be lowered until
the control button “UP” has been
activated. If the safety edge is
activated when the platform is
not in motion, the platform will
remain on the level.on which it
was stopped. When activating the
control button “UP” the platform
will function again.
2.05 Connecting the charger/ charging
Connection of charger
The charger must only be used in dry environments.
Connect the male plug of the charger to the power outlet.
Connect the other plug of the charger to the
battery box. The plug has been marked with
a label – 24 V DC.
Charging
The control panel of the steering handle
has been fitted with a green, a yellow and
a red indicator light. If the green indicator light
is switched on, the batteries are fully charged.
If the yellow or red indicator lights are
switched on 10 to 15 seconds after a lift,
the lifting platform should be recharged.

17
Remove the cover (pos. 9 ), pull out the plug (pos. 10), demount the
battery box and move it to a dry place with an outlet, so that the battery can
be recharged. Recharge the batteries of the lifting platform every night or
when the lifting platform is not being used to ensure a long service life of the
batteries. The charger will be switched off automatically when the batteries
are fully charged.
Maximum recharging time is 8 hours.
3.00 Transportation
3.01 How to transport LP12
The lifting platform is fitted with wheels and can be pulled or pushed.
The battery box can be removed and transported separately.
4.00 Maintenance and Storage
4.01 Cleaning
Clean the lifting platform with a slightly damp cloth or a sponge using ordinary
household detergents. If the battery box has been removed, clean the lifting
platform with a soft brush using soapy water.
Do not rinse the lifting platform with a water hose.
Dry the lifting platform carefully before mounting the battery again.
Clean the brakes and other parts on the underside of the lifting platform by
means of compressed air.
Do not use chemicals or autoclaving when cleaning the lifting platform.
Wipe the charger with a dry cloth.
4.02 Storage
When storing the lifting platform, the battery box should be demounted and
the batteries charged regularly.
4.03 How to prevent/ avoid corrosion?
The lifting platform has been made of corrosion-resistant materials and
therefore it needs no further surface treatment.

18
4.04 What maintenance is required by the owner?
Lubricate the lifting
platform with TRI-FLOW
or a similar lubricant
every six month or when
needed. The parts to
be lubricated are the
brakes, wires and
curve plates.
(Illustration of pos.22).
