property damage, warranty claims or personal injury, including death, in this
circumstance.
Passenger safety is the result of countless details in the equipment design,

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
