services).

2. Operation
To summon assistance the alarm call button should be pressed (image 2.2.a). The alarm is reset
using the push button marked Alarm Reset within the control cabinet. The control cabinet is
accessible through the locked door adjacent to the upper entrance.
Should the lift not stop when pressure is removed from all control buttons, the emergency stop
button should be pressed (image 2.2.b). This will lock down and stop the lift. To reset this button turn
it clockwise until the head returns to the upper position. The lift should now be checked by service
personnel of ThyssenKrupp Accessibility- details are given in chapter 6.

3. Options
Key switching restricts operation of the platform but does not always prevent access to the platform
as the entrance catch is automatically disengaged when the platform reaches the floor level.
The entrance will remain open for a preset time period (service adjustable) and then close. If the
opening or closing door encounters any obstruction a clutch mechanism ensures that its motion
does not continue until the obstruction is removed. Automatic door operation can be switched off, if
required, using the switches on the top of the door mounted units at individual entrances.

4. Fault Finding
Should the platform not work correctly, please check the following:
- Emergency stop buttons on the control panel on the platform should not be pushed in (turn
the buttons clockwise to deactivate).
- The doors are closed and the door contacts are undamaged and clean.
- Mains isolator is switched on.
- The hand winding device is not connected.
- The safety edge around the platform floor and above the control console is not depressed
Has pressure on a control button been released when the platform is positioned away from
a landing level but within 100mm (4 inches) of it. If so, a safety mechanism will prevent the
platform from continuing in the same direction once pressure is re-applied. In this case the lift
should be returned to the previous level and the journey recommenced.
If the lift fails to work after you have completed these checks, please call the ThyssenKrupp
Accessibility service desk. Servicing and call-out details are provided in chapter 6 of this manual.
ATTENTION
It is important to read this chapter carefulley before taking emergency action.
- The mains isolator MUST always be switched off before attempting to open any access panels,
even during a power failure, to avoid injury to personnel.
- There is a risk of falling when a landing door is opened (using the manual release) without the
platform being at that level. Always keep the doors closed and check the function of the lock
so nobody can fall into the shaft.
User manual Vector - Vertical Platformlift 2005.09.19
- Continue to turn the hand-winding device until the platform has reached the nearest landing
that allows safe evacuation.
- Once the platform is at the landing level then the door catch will release automatically. It
should now be possible to open the landing door.
- If the platform has been lowered too far at the lowest landing, the limit switch may have been
activated and it will be necessary to slightly raise the platform again.
- Remove the crank and hang it back inside the cabinet cover.
- Once the platform is empty, reset any alarm using the push button marked Alarm Reset.
- Replace and lock the cabinet cover.
- Contact service personnel - details are given in chapter 6.
ATTENTION
For 1100mm high gate and fire rated door the locking cylinder should be pushed
to the side not up.
- Whilst the locking cylinder is pushed up and held the door catch is disengaged allowing the
door to be opened.
- Once the platform is empty, close the door and replace the screw.
- Reset any alarm using the switch located in the
electrical cabinet and marked Alarm Reset.
- Replace and lock the cabinet cover.
- Contact service personnel - details are given in
chapter 6.

5. Maintenance
Your lift should be serviced within 6 months of installation and twice a year thereafter (in case of high
usage four times a year).
Thats why - if you have not already done so - we recommend you to take a ThyssenKrupp Accessibility
servicing plan today.
Besides keeping the lift in first class condition - ensuring that it continues to comply with the latest
regulations - your ThyssenKrupp Accessibility engineer can identify parts which may soon need
replacing. Thus adding to the users quality of life by helping to prevent breakdowns and giving you
valuable peace of mind.
- The ThyssenKrupp Accessibility Regular Servicing Plan provides comprehensive inspection,
testing and adjustment at recommended intervals.
- ThyssenKrupp Accessibility Comprehensive Cover goes one step further; also covering you
against the cost of genuine replacement parts, as and when required.

Routine care of your Vector vertical platformlift involves little more than just keeping it clean. In
order to keep the lift in optimal condition switch off at the mains supply and carry out the following
actions:
- Wipe away dirt using a mild detergent solution and a just-damp cloth.
- Use an automotive paint cleaner to remove any stubborn streak marks on the paint work,
then apply an automotive hard silicone wax to give a protective finish. Ensure handrails, door
handles, ramps and other such parts are not waxed.
