Do not use it for any other purpose. • Always wear eye protection while installing or servicing this product. • Always disconnect this product from the electrical source before servicing it. • Only use the fasteners supplied with this lift. • Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on this product. • Do not disable any safety equipment or switches supplied with this lift. • Stay away from all drive train components while the lift is operating. Code Requirements I Your lift has been designed to meet ASME A18.1 section 2 and CSA B44/ASME A17.5, with the addition of certain options. Code requirements for Vertical Platform lifts vary depending on location. It is the installers responsibility to contact their local code enforcement office and determine all of the regulations they are subject to. You must do this before installing the Vertical Platform Lift. Site Requirements • The lift will require a 115vac 20amp grounded circuit. • Outdoor Installations will require a GFI protected circuit. • Only install the lift on a 4" thick , level 3,500 psi reinforced concrete slab. • Foot Print varies depending on platform size and options. Required tools • 1/2" Hammer Drill • 3/8" Masonry Drill Bit • Appliance Dolly • Hammer • Level • Measuring Tape • Socket Wrench Set Required materials • 4 Floor anchors AmeriGlide recommends securing the lift using our Anchor Kit. If you purchase you own floor anchors they must use 3/8" bolts and have a minimum tensile strength of 6000 LBS. Preparing to Install the Lift I Final Site Inspection rVerify the surface the lift will mount to is smooth and level. This surface must be made from 3,500 psi reinforced concrete with a minimum thickness of 4". Verify that there is enough space for the lifts foot print. Be sure to include space neccesary for platform. Caution: Verify that the running clearance around the lift complies with any codes for your area. • The horizontal gap between the edge of the platform and the upper landing must no less than 3/8" and no greater than 3/4". • The horizontal gap between the guard panel and any wall or barrier must be no less than 2" and no greater than 3". • Verify that sufficient head room exists above the lift. The lift will require 6' 8" of clearance above the platform floor when the lift is at the upper landing. Warning: The area between the floor where the lift is mounted and the top landing must be covered by a smooth vertical fascia. This is to to eliminate any pinch points between the platform and landing. Connecting to Electricity The lift will require a 115 VAC 20 amp grounded electrical circuit. Depending on local codes, this connection may need to be routed in electrical conduit and hard-wired. Warning: Do not ride on the lift until it has been anchored in place.

Setting the Limit Switches Your lift is equipped with upper and lower limit switches. The vertical location of these switches may be adjusted to fit your application. Typically the upper limit switch will need to be adjusted so the platform will stop level with the upper landing. The lower limit will typically not need adjusting.

Verifying Operation of the Lift I Caution: Complete the following section before training the customer to use the lift. Step 1 Run the lift up and down for 5 complete cycles. Hold the direction button down and allow the limit switches to stop the lift. At the top, verify that the platform stops level with the upper landing. At the bottom, verify the access ramp (if equipped) unfolds and rests on the ground. Step 2 Verify the operation of the Emergency stop switch. When this switch is pushed in the lift should not run in either direction. When this switch is turned and pulled back out, the lift should operate normally. 0 AWN Step 3 Verify the operation of the sensor pan underneath the platform. Start with 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. Warning: Do not run the lift if anyone is under the platform.
