CODE AND SITE REQUIREMENTS
Code Requirements
This platform lift is designed to meet ASME A18.1 section 5 and CSA B44 / ASME A17.5 with
the addition of certain options. Code requirements for vertical platform lifts vary depending
on location. Your installer is responsible for contacting your local code enforcement o󲡶ce to
determine all applicable regulations prior to installing vertical platform lifts.
Site Requirements
The lift requires a 120 VAC 15 AMP grounded circuit. Outdoor installations require a GFI
protected circuit. Lift must be installed on a 4"thick, level 3,500 PSI reinforced concrete slab.
The footprint requires 50" x 70"area (this includes the folding access ramp).

The limit switches will stop the lift platform level with the upper landing. At the bottom, the
access ramp unfolds and rests on the ground.
Emergency Stop

operate the lift normally, pull the switch back out.
NOTE: The sensor pan beneath the platform is designed to stop the lift when it hits an object
underneath it.You can verify the operation of the sensor pan by starting the lift at the top
landing. Press up on the sensor pan. While holding the pan in this location, press the down
switch on the platform. The lift should not run. Check all sides and middle of the safety pan.
