PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Cargo Lift Elite designs are double-beam with a lower-mounted lift head.
The Cargo Lift Workhorse designs are also double-beam, but with an upper-
mounted lift head. Neither is a platform lift, and neither is a residential
elevator. These three product families—cargo lift, platform lift and residential
elevator—are differentiated by their design, build and intended functionality.
Accordingly, the design and build of each of these product families is
controlled by different criteria; and, each product within these families should
only be operated according to its design criteria.
It is very important for each product owner to accept responsibility for safe
operations in the use of her/his lift product; therefore, it is important to read
and heed the safety instructions provided in this manual, always. Design and
build considerations in the cargo lift properly accommodate its intended
functionality—cargo transport, but NOT human passengers.
A cargo lift is designed to move between two or three levels of a structurally
sound building. It is typically mounted outside the structure, and typically not
in an enclosed runway. This external mounting is one of the physical
distinctions that separate the cargo lift from the residential elevator that is
typically mounted within an enclosed runway with lockable doors protecting
the hoist way from unintended human intervention. A platform lift is mounted
with its own physical distinction.

LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page!5!
Legacy Lifts® Cargo Lift Elite designs include a cargo basket size of
approximately 4’ X 4’ (maximum 15 SF); a carrying load capacity of 1,000
pounds; and, travels approximately 12-18 feet per minute. The Legacy
Lifts® Cargo Lift Workhorse designs include a cargo basket size of
approximately 3’ X 4’ (maximum 15 SF); a carrying load capacity of 1,000
pounds; and, travels approximately 14 feet per minute. There is a natural
balance between carrying capacity and travel speed that is inherent to
fundamental science; and, these designs seek optimum. Both above cargo
lift design families are constructed of long-lasting aluminum and stainless
steel materials including anti-skidding flooring; and, both may be powered-
coated for optional improvement of life and aesthetics. There are other
enhancement options available as well.
Both cargo lift design families are supplied with reliable control systems for
executing normal up, down, and stop actions. These control methods
incorporate a wireless remote transmitter that enhances user convenience.
The control box includes a switch for electrical isolation. The box also
includes a hasp for installing a recommended manual padlock to enhance a
safer product environment when the lift is not in use. Lock this box always
when the lift is not attended.
Dual beam design provides a safer and more stable lift. A durable enclosed
motor transmits electric power to the unit drive reliably. Stainless steel
aircraft quality cable is applied with winding that reduces cable wear. Sealed
limit switches are provided for additional operating safety and smoother
controlled stops. Design flexibility allows gate placement in multiple
positions at time of order. All of the above features achieve a rugged design
that enhances aesthetics; offers user-friendliness; and, withstands the
natural environment that sometimes can be demanding;
Legacy Lift® reserves the right to make changes or add improvements to
Legacy Lifts® products at any time without incurring any obligation to make
such changes to products previously supplied. Legacy Lifts® does not
accept responsibility for variations that may be evident relative to the actual
specification of its products and/or the statements and descriptions
contained in this publication.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The product owner is responsible for safe handling of the lift at all times
in all circumstances. Therefore, the following safety instructions are
provided for the product owner, and any other person that the product
owner may authorize to operate the lift; as, any person operating the
lift shall have prior training:
1. Never begin operation of the lift until the installer and the product owner
consummate product owner acceptance that shall accompany each
installation. This shall include electrical, mechanical and structural
acceptance with final payment.
2. Never allow a person under the age of 18 to operate this lift without adult
supervision.
3. Never allow persons under the age of 18 to be near the lift unattended
when it is operating.
4. Never allow anyone to be within 10 feet of the operating path of this lift
when in operation moving up or down.
5. Never enter lift or be near the unit when under the threat of lightening or
severe weather.
6. Never allow anyone except a qualified service person to enter the runway
of the lift, above or below the basket. Similarly, no object or animal shall
be allowed in the runway of the lift; as, a moving lift can cause severe
injury to anyone in the lift runway.
7. Never exceed rated carrying load capacity.

LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page!7!
8. Never by-pass, remove or otherwise disable any control sensors or safety
features.
9. Never operate if and when the product shows signs of damage or unusual
operations including unusual noise and/or vibrations; and,
10. Never operate when cables appear to be frayed or damaged.
The product owner’s responsibility for safe handling of this lift
continues as follows:
1. Never operate lift when its gate and/or landing door are not functioning
properly.
2. Never enter lift when lift basket floor is not even with structure floor level.
3. Never lean against lift basket gate or car controls.
4. Never place a wireless remote transmitter in a pocket or any other place
where inadvertent operation may occur; as, the transmitter is part of one
of two control methods when ordering.
5. Never open cargo basket or adjacent structure gate when still in motion.
6. Never extend any part of body or other object beyond the immediate
perimeter of the cargo basket from any direction or access point.
7. Never operate lift in the case of fire and/or smoke.
8. Never start-stop or reverse the lift continuously.
9. Never allow anyone to operate the lift when under the influence of alcohol
or drugs; and,
10. Never allow anyone using prescription drugs to operate the lift, as lifts
are considered as moving equipment.
In continuing the product owner’s responsibility for lift safety, the
following instructions further apply:
1. Never allow children under the age of 18 to access the machinery area
that provides for the lift’s mobility.
2. Never use the lift for storage.
3. Never operate the lift without a properly installed ground fault interruption
device in the electric power supply circuit.
4. Never remove covers from any machinery components.

LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page!8!
5. Never attempt to service the lift or any of its machinery unless a qualified
person performs.
6. Never allow unauthorized persons to operate the lift. Remove electric
power at the power supply control box by locking the breaker into the “off”
position when not attended.
7. Never allow anyone to operate the lift if any of the above-stated or other
evidences of safety concern exist; and, declare the unit inoperable by
placing signage on the unit to this effect. Barricade the unit during such
an outage period to prevent access. Finally in this situation, remove
power at the main electrical breaker control box source and do not operate
again until repaired and re-certified for safe operations by Legacy Lifts®
or an Authorized Representative.
8. Never attempt to extricate anything from a disabled lift without qualified
assistance, in the event that the lift should stop between normal ingress
and egress points.
9. Never panic in an abnormal situation, but rather stay calm; and,
10. Always seek assistance from a qualified person.
In the event that there are any further questions about the safe
operation of this lift, please contact Legacy Lifts® as provided in this
manual.
OPERATIONS
Before proceeding with operations of this product, please be reminded
again of our strong commitment to safety including safe operations of
this product and your personal safety. In this serious regard, please
ensure that you have read carefully the safety instructions within this
manual, that you fully understand the product owner’s responsibility
for safe operations of this product, and that you further understand
how to execute that responsibility. If there are any concerns or doubts
about this understanding, please contact Legacy Lifts® and/or our

1. Engage the main electrical power supply breaker.
2. Turn the “on-off” electrical isolation switch to “on.”
3. Close all gates and latch properly.
4. Some lift products are installed with optional devices for additional safety;
and, these devices must be in proper position; e.g. pan switch.
5. After satisfying the above required conditions, the operating procedure is
simple as follows:
A. Depress the “1” button for the lift to move to Level 1.
B. Depress the “2” button for the lift to move to Level 2.
C. When applicable, Depress the “3” button for the lift to move to
Level 3.
D. Depress the “stop” button to halt the lift movement.
MAINTENANCE
Lift products are designed and built with electrical, electronic, mechanical,
and structural components that operate within an integrated system design;
therefore, periodic maintenance is appropriate. This maintenance enhances
safe operations, and further enhances longevity of the product. Legacy
Lifts® strongly recommends that only qualified persons perform all
maintenance.
Legacy Lifts® offers with product owner approval an effective maintenance
agreement for the product addressed by this manual. Contact Legacy Lifts®
for this offering, that can be performed in cooperation with our authorized
representation upon consummating a maintenance agreement.
If the product owner elects to not contract for the above offered maintenance
agreement, but instead elects to perform product maintenance alternatively,
the following guidance is provided:

LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page!10!
1. An inspection should be performed within the 45-90 days of a lift product’s
initial operations to make routine adjustments that may be required by
normal changes in a product’s installed geometry. This need can be
caused by natural physical changes in product components resulting from
normal product loading and/or local environmental conditions. This need
may also be caused by changes and/or shifts in the adjacent structure to
which the lift product is mounted.
2. A full inspection should be performed at least twice per year, every
year regardless of the amount of operations.
3. A full operational check of the product’s control system, including the
individual components that comprise the control system, should be
performed within the above recommended semi-annual inspections.
Additional guidance for product maintenance follows:
4. Legacy Lifts® applies stainless steel aircraft quality cable in its lift design;
and, this cable should be inspected at least semi-annually for damage,
misalignment, improper winding and/or wear. If the cable is damaged or
misaligned, it could cause premature wear or cable failure. The Legacy
Lifts® design reduces the potential for common misalignment cable
consequences with cable winding that optimizes cable alignment, thereby
reducing wear.
5. The inclusion and proper operation of limit switches are critically important
components within the electrical-electronic-mechanical components that
control the lift. These switches are set precisely during lift product
installation; nonetheless, it is recommended that a qualified person
inspect the settings and proper operation of the switches, (again) at least
semi-annually.
6. Roller wheels should be lubricated semi-annually. They should not be
over-lubricated; as, this can result in unintended lubricant on the I-beam
surface where a mechanical brake is designed to engage. Lubricant on
this I-beam surface will make the mechanical brake less effective.
Never operate this product before properly addressing any of the following
conditions:

LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page!11!
1. Evidence of any structural deterioration, of either the product and/or its
adjacent mating structure;
2. Evidence of frayed cables;
3. Evidence of unusual noise and/or vibration; and,
4. Evidence of lubricant on the I-beam surface where the mechanical brake
is designed to engage if and when actuated. Lubricant must be removed
from this surface before further operations regardless of its source or
nature.
5. For lift baskets lined with clear structural material, never spray Windex,
ammonia or alcohol containing fluids on these lining materials. These
prohibited fluids will damage the clear structural lining material including
UV effectiveness. Always use approved cleaning fluid; e.g.,
Kleenmaster™ supplied by Brillianize, Inc. (www.BRILLIANIZE.com).
A qualified service person may perform still other maintenance
recommendations that may enhance aesthetics.
PREPARATIONS FOR HURRICANE
The following preparations should be made for an anticipated hurricane; and,
these preparations should be made substantially before the dangers of the
hurricane occur.
1. Lower the lift to the lowest position in cases of anticipated high wind.
Note: If only high water is anticipated (without high wind), the lift may be
raised to the highest position to reduce high water damage.
2. Remove electric power by opening the main electricity supply breaker.
3. If the lift has experienced unusually high winds and/or water exposure by
flooding, the unit shall not be operated until re-qualified for service by an
authorized service person.
