property damage, warranty claims or personal injury, including death, in this
circumstance.
Passenger safety is the result of countless details in the equipment design,
manufacture, and installation. After installation, reliable operation and
continual safe operation requires regular inspection and maintenance as
outlined in this manual, or more frequently where usage, environment, or
local jurisdiction requires. As the Owner, you are responsible for ensuring
that regular inspections and maintenance occur in a timely manner as per the
manufacturer’s recommendations and maintenance schedule.
Refer to this owner’s manual for unit description, setup, operating instructions,
and a maintenance schedule for your Lift. Upon completion of installation, the
Savaria mechanic must provide you with the information for the box below
and ensure it is recorded in this owner’s manual. In addition, either you or the
Savaria mechanic must keep any service and/or maintenance records in the
Maintenance Record section of this owner’s manual.
At all times, your Lift must be maintained in compliance with the applicable
standard to which it has been built and installed
United States: A18.1–Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlift
Canada: CSA B355/613–Platform lifts and stair lifts for barrier-free access
Europe: EN-81-40–Stairlifts and inclined lifting platform intended for persons
