| On a braun l917 wheelchair lift (it is used in a school bus) there are lights to illuminate the loading platform. these lights are located on the top of the lift, but just behind someone in a wheelchair. these lights get so hot that it burned a hole in my employees jacket. there is a warning sticker mounted under the light. i called braun and was told that this light is a government regulation. i feel that it is located in an area in which not only an aide could get burned but a person on the lift could as well. *tr | |||
