IMPORTANT
Ensure that only an authorized Savaria Dealer installs and services the V1504
Vertical Platform Lift. Under no circumstances is anyone other than a dealer
with Savaria training and authorization to install, adjust, service or modify any
mechanical or electrical device on this equipment. Failure to follow this
warning can result in safety system compromises or defeat; this can result in
serious injury or death. Savaria accepts no liability for property damage,
warranty claims or personal injury, including death, in this circumstance.
Passenger safety is the result of countless details in the equipment’s design,
manufacture, and installation. After installation, reliable operation and
continual safe operation requires regular service and inspection at least twice
per year, or more frequently where usage, environment, or local jurisdiction
requires. As the Owner, you are responsible for ensuring that regular service
and inspections occur in a timely manner.
Refer to this manual for specifications, operating instructions and maintenance
of the V1504 Vertical Platform Lift.
Upon completion of installation, the dealer must provide you with the
following information and ensure it is recorded in this manual. In addition,
either the dealer or you must keep any service and/or maintenance records in
the Maintenance Record section of this manual.
WARRANTY
Ensure your Savaria Dealer provides you with a copy of the manufacturer’s
limited parts warranty and documentation relating to any Dealer labour
warranty.

Safety Brake
The safety brake stops the platform in the event of chain failure.
When the platform is in operation, the chain tension keeps the brake
mechanism up (Figure 9) so that the brake’s cam doesn’t interfere with the
tower track.
If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down (Figure 9) and the
brake cam stops the platform.

Manual Lowering and Battery Lowering System
If a power failure occurs, a battery lowering system will bring the lift to the
bottom level. If the battery fails while operating, there is also a manual lowering
device that will bring the lift to the lower level.
For units with a 120 VAC pump, the manual lowering box (Figure 10) is located
on the side of the V1504. When you pull on the steel cable located inside the
manual lowering box, the platform descends to ground level.
DO NOT have any hoistway door open and always warn the passenger that the
platform will be lowered manually
