Page 8      SpaceLift 5200 Series Attic Lift Manual (10/14)

WARNING: Before any operation of the SpaceLift
5200 Series attic lift system inspect the platform
operating area to verify no persons, animals or
objects are within 5 feet of the platform.

To avoid injury in loading and unloading operations,
make sure to use proper lifting practices. Secure
objects in the lift platform to prevent them from
shifting or falling off while the platform is in
motion. Maximum load limit is 200 pounds. 

The 5200 Series attic lift system automatically 
performs a variety of checks before each operation.

STEP 1. 

Turn on Remote Control Unit with Key.

Up/Down Buttons – Arrows display GREEN to

indicate directions possible (i.e.  stowed lift will

only go down).

Obstacle Detection – If lift hits obstruction, both

arrows display RED.

STEP 2. 

Use the Down Button to lower the cargo lift

platform to the lower level landing position.

STEP 3.

Load the lift platform with items to be trans-

ported. Weight of items should be centered in tray.

Maximum load must be limited to 200 pounds per

trip. Be sure objects are secured to prevent load shift-

ing during lift operations.

STEP 4.

Depress and hold the Up Button until the lift

cycle is complete. To halt operation, release the but-

ton any time during the lift cycle.               

STEP 5.

Unload lift platform.

STEP 6.

Turn Key OFF when lift operations are complete.

NOTE:

If power is lost during operation the lift will

stop. When power is restored, depress the Up

Button and return the lift to the fully stowed and

locked position. This enables the system to reset to

assure consistent operation.

WARNING: When using the cargo lift system
Remote Control Unit, keep the lift platform in sight
until completely stopped in either the bottom or
top position. DO NOT allow children to play under
or near the lift platform.

WARNING:  The lift platform moves rapidly. 
Keep path clear.
