Tower panels must be handled with extreme caution and care; they can be sharp on the edges and can become
dangerous if falling or sliding. Installer must ensure the safety of all people, animals, and property whenever working
with panels.
The VPL must be anchored “plumb” to a level, 3,500 PSI concrete pad at least 4” thick. Minimum pad dimensions are
41” x 50” to anchor the legs and support the tower. However, a larger pad will be needed if it is desired that the
guard ramp land on the pad and or the approach to the ramp be incorporated into the pad. Final pad location,
orientation, and dimensions are the installer’s responsibility to determine based on field conditions.
Do not use VPL for anything other than its intended purpose of personal residential use for lifting of individuals and
personal mobility devices.
Keep all body parts away from moving components and within the platform guards during VPL operation.
The Platform Safety Rail option must be installed if the VPL is used by a standing occupant.
Turn off power and engage the brake on all mobility devices prior to cycling the VPL.
Remove ice, snow, leaves and other potentially unsafe materials from VPL and landings before each use.
Inspect VPL for damaged, missing, or inoperable parts before each use. Never use a damaged or unstable VPL.
Regularly check all fasteners and verify all nuts, bolts, screws and other fasteners are undamaged and secure. Do not
attempt to repair or modify the VPL. Only qualified technicians may service the VPL. Contact your dealer to schedule
any needed inspections, repairs, or service.
Periodic inspections by a qualified technician are recommended to help prevent unsafe conditions.
Stop using VPL and immediately and contact your dealer for inspection and service if any defect is suspected.
Observe and avoid all pinch points.
Whenever not actively using the VPL, turn keyed power switch to “OFF” position and remove key.
Always unplug VPL from electrical outlet before cleaning. Only plug VPL back in when area around VPL is dry.
Never operate VPL with damaged electrical wires, cords, or plugs.
The AC electrical plug on this VPL is grounded and intended to be used only with a properly grounded GFCI outlet. Do
not remove ground pin from AC power cord. If ground pin is broken or missing, immediately contact your dealer to
schedule repairs.
Do not tamper with or attempt to modify the VPL or any of its systems.
Use VPL only with a qualified helper, if required.
Do not use the VPL to support, attach, or hang planters, baskets, lights, adornments, decorations, clothing, fabrics or
other ornamentals or furnishings.
The VPL’s electrical cord must be routed and situated in a manner that poses no hazards. Do not lay power cords on
or across electrically conductive materials, such as metals and always route power cords in such a manner so no one
can trip over them and that they are not exposed to risk of accidental or incidental damage.
Before and during VPL operation, ensure all hair, jewelry, shirts, ties, shoe laces and all other forms of clothing and
other personal ornamentation are-not and do-not hang up on anything that may create a hazard.
Confirm all bracing is present and undamaged before lifting VPL from pallet. If bracing is damaged or missing, do not
