Storage
The lift should be stored indoors with the power cord unplugged and coiled inside the
platform. The storage temperature should be between 20 º F and 100ºF [-7°C to 38ºC].
Outdoor Use
The lift is weatherized for use in outdoor conditions, including rain. However, the
following limitations apply:

The lift may not operate well at temperatures lower than 45°F (7°C). Lifts equipped
with the special Outdoor Package may not operate well at less than 15°F (-10°C).

If the lift is used on a soft or uneven surface, such as grass or rough asphalt, it is
recommended that a 3/4" thick plywood sheet be placed under the lift base to ensure
correct operation of the lift. Be sure to bevel the edge of the plywood where the lift
user will roll or step onto the plywood. The plywood needs to be very flat for the lift
to operate correctly.

An extension cord may be used with the lift only in accordance with the instructions
listed in the following section.
Extension Cord Use
Always obey the following instructions when using an extension cord with the lift.

All extension cords must be used under the direction of a licensed electrician and in
