SECTION 5

CARE

To maximize longevity and appearance of your lift, 

AmeriGlide recommends the following procedures:

• 

Keep the VPL platform free of debris. Sweeping 

to clear these areas regularly to prevent debris 

accumulation is required. Wiping with a damp 

cloth should be enough for additional surface 

cleaning. If needed, a soft brush with mild soap 

and water can be used on the platform and 

guard ramp surfaces

• 

You may choose to clean your VPL with soap 

and water. Turn off VPL and disconnect all 

power before cleaning. Be sure to rinse all soap 

from VPL and let the VPL dry before using. 

• 

Keep door hinge hardware lubricated. Once a 

year use lubricant on the hinges. 

• 

On an outdoor VPL, if the lift will not be 

used for long periods of time, covering the 

platform with a tarp and disabling the power is 

recommended. 

• 

Fully disconnect the lift from all power (AC and 

Battery Backup) if not using for 2 months or 

more. Please consult your dealer for proper 

disconnect procedures. 

• 

Yearly wax (car wax) is an excellent means to 

protect an outdoor VPL from weathering.
