1.02 Purpose and use
Purpose
The lifting platform can be used to lift people in need of help with negotiating
height di󰀨erences.
Use
The LP7 & LP7+ are designed for permanent installation indoors and
outdoors.
The lifting platform may only be operated by users who have been properly
instructed to do so, or by personnel who have been professionally trained to
use this assistive technology/working tool.
Entering and exiting the lifting platform takes place at each end of the lifting
platform.
The access ramp and doors serve to protect the user by keeping him/her
from rolling o󰀨 during use. There are also handrails on both sides of the lifting
platform. The LP7+ is tted with doors as a standard feature.
The lifting platform is designed and manufactured in relation to applicable
norms.
LP7 can lift up to 800 mm (31½”).
LP7+ can lift up to 1500 mm (59”).
The lifting interval of the LP7 and the LP7+ can be adjusted between heights
of 50-1500 mm (2”-59”).
The lifting platform may be used in temperatures from -10 to +40°C.
In temperatures of less than zero, the application of suitable heating beneath
the lifting platform is recommended.
Great importance is attached to the design and implementation to achieve
attractive and harmonious installation in di󰀨erent environments, private and
public. Public environments are institutions, public buildings, etc., where the
lifting platform is subject to a certain amount of supervision. In these environ-
ments, the lifting platform should be locked, protecting it against unintentional
use or play.

form will begin its ascent. The lifting platform only ascends when (1) is active-
ly held down (hold-to-run).
4. When the lifting platform is level with the landing, the lifting platform stops
automatically and the user can drive onto the landing.
5. When using the safety gate, it is opened automatically. It is electronically
secured and cannot be opened until the lifting platform is in the highest posi-
tion.
Lowering the lifting platform from the upper level

2. When using the safety gate, it must be closed before the lifting platform can
be operated. This is done by activating (2).
3. Activate the operating panel by pressing button (2) to lower the lifting platform.
The lifting platform only descends when (2) is actively held down (hold-to-run).
4. When the lifting platform is at its lowest level, the access ramp will be low-
ered/the doors opened, and the user can drive o󰀨 the lifting platform.

2.03 Safety functions
Important!
Individual and specic consideration must be given to how an emergency
summoning system must work. One or more responsible people should be
appointed to help with the correct use of the lifting platform. It should always
be possible to call those responsible in any emergency situation. The users
must be informed of who holds this responsibility.

Description of emergency stop
The emergency stop must be used
in emergencies only. If the emer-
gency stop is activated owing to a
malfunction, the dealer must be
contacted before the LP7 & LP7+
are used again.
The emergency stop button (3) is
located at the top of the right tower.
It stops all movement when activated.
Restarting the control system
• The emergency stop button must be pulled out, and the LP7/LP7+ can be
restarted by pressing the control buttons.
• Alternatively, activate the emergency stop button for 5 seconds and then
release it to restart the control system.
Description of electrical emergency
lowering – lifting platform
Great attention and the required
mobility is needed to use the
emergency lowering, which is why
the person responsible for the use
of the lifting platform should be
called.

The emergency lowering must be used in emergencies only. This requires
qualied assistance.
You must contact the dealer before using the LP7 & the LP7+ again. Remove
the key after installation and keep it with the manual.
The electric emergency lowering device is activated by turning the key switch
to the left for 10 seconds. The lifting platform will then begin its descent. The
lifting platform will stop if the key is released. If the key is not activated for 10
seconds, the electrical emergency lowering device will be deactivated, after
which it can be activated again.
The switch is located in the left tower on the lifting platform.
Description of emergency lowering – access ramp
The access ramp is tted with a
hexagonal screw on the left side.
Remove this screw and the access
ramp can be closed up.
Important!
When the screw is removed from the
access ramp, the ramp can no longer
be secured. Hold onto the access
ramp when removing the screw.
Safety curtain
The safety curtain ensures that nobody can move beneath the lifting platform
when it is at its highest level and thereby risk getting trapped when the lifting
platform is lowered. The safety curtain is tted upon delivery.
If the safety curtain has not been installed, or if it is damaged and the area
beneath the lifting platform cannot be accessed, the lifting platform cannot be
used until the problem has been solved.

Safety cut-out function
If anyone or anything gets trapped
beneath the lifting platform when it is
lowered, the descent will stop as
soon as the safety list is activated.
The safety function is reset by
pressing ”UP” (1), which will raise the
lifting platform. Next, remove the ob-
ject that activated the safety list.
Overload protection
The lifting platform is designed so that it is protected against overloading. In
the event of overload, the lifting platform will issue a visual alert on the control
panel. The lifting platform cannot be used in the event of an overload.
Remove load so that the lifting platform can be operated again.
2.04 Accessories
Extra operating panel
External control panels with ”UP or “DOWN”
button for wall or free-standing installation.
The control panel is tted with a lock. The
control panel is also available in a wireless
