AmeriGlide Vesta Owner’s Manual

IMPORTANT

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, envi-

ronment, 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 Ameri-

Glide Vesta Stair Lift.

WARRANTY

All new AmeriGlide Vesta Stair Lifts are warranted to the original purchaser to be free from 

defects in material and workmanship for a 5-year period on the drive train and a 2-year pe-

riod on all component parts of the lift.

Exceptions to all warranty’s listed above:

•  Damage resulting from improper installation or operation.

•  Negligence, alterations, abuse or misuse of the equipment.

•  Fire, flood, acts of God.

•  Torn or dirty upholstery.

•  Shipping damage.

•  Parts used that are not supplied by AmeriGlide.

Details applying to all warranty’s listed above:

No warranty is extended, express or implied, whether of merchantability or fitness for a 

particular purpose, after expiration of 5 years from the date of original purchase of the unit. 

AmeriGlide and its dealers shall not be liable for any consequential, special or incidental 

damages arising out of the purchase or use of the unit or resulting from the breach of this 

Limited Warranty, or any implied warranty. The limit of liability of AmeriGlide and its dealers 

hereunder shall be the unit’s purchase price. Some states do not allow limitations on how 

long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
