will operate this lift must have read, understood and strictly adhere to the contents of this manual to ensure
that injury and material damage are avoided.
We request you pay close attention to

In addition to the demands placed upon this stair lift and personnel, the immediate surrounding near the
travel rails and the lift platform must also be taken into consideration to guarantee reliable and secure
operation at all times.
Hazardous situations can arise if the planning of the installation of this lift is not carried out by Ascendor or
alterations are made to the unit by the operator.
