SAFETY NOTES
Children must not be allowed to tamper or play with the lift or tracks. Joyriding is dangerous. It is
strongly recommended the key-switch option is fitted when young children are in the dwelling or
likely to visit. The lift controls can then be turned off by the wall mounted control stations, and the
key removed to prevent unauthorised use.
Children must be supervised at all times when the lift is in use.
During travel do not impede the car or aperture board. Ensure that all persons, especially children
and pets, are kept clear of the lift prior and during travel. Obstacles must not be placed on the
aperture board or beneath the car.
IMPORTANT! Keep all parts of your body inside the lift at all times, and do not lean out of the lift.
Please remain seated whilst travelling in the lift.
2.1. SAFE WORKING LOAD
The MAXIMUM safe working load of the lift is 250kg. Never exceed this capacity.
The lift must never be used for anything other than the intended use. It must never be used for
transporting furniture or any other type of goods.
The safe working load of the aperture trap board is 250kg, uniformly distributed. Never place
furniture, ladders or any permanent loads on top of the trap board. It must be kept clear at all
times.
It is important that the aperture trap-board is
not made wet
in any way as this may change the
strength characteristics of the board and cause a potential hazard. A weakened trap board will
need to be replaced.
The seat has a safe working load of 150kg. (Option)
