Releasing the
call/send button at

the lift.
When the VPL is not in use,
Bruno recommends raising
the unit off the ground to
approximately the mid-travel
position.
This will discourage
unwanted use by others and,
in colder climates, prevent the
underpanel from becoming
frozen in accumulated
ice/snow.
OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
If the temperature falls below 0° F (-18° C):
1. Park the platform in a raised position,
approximately mid-way up the tower.
2. When ready to operate the unit, check for the
presence of accumulated ice or snow on the
control buttons and underpan.
Remove ice/snow before operating the lift.
3. Run the lift
down
, then all the way up, then to
the desired level to board the platform.
This will warm up the nut and screw mechanism
to allow proper operation of the lift.
RISK OF
EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE
CAUTION
Use anti-corrosive de-icers or
sand to remove ice
and/or snow accumulations
on and near the VPL and to
eliminate slippery areas.
DO NOT use salt on or near
the VPL.
Salt can cause rust and
corrosion of metal parts.
