Introduction 

PROTEGE 5442P 

 

112509 Rev G 

INTRODUCTION 

 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 established the legal requirement for 

public  facilities  to  provide  access  and  reasonable  accommodations  for  people  with 

disabilities.    In  response  to  this  requirement,  the  Ascension  PROTEGE  portable 

wheelchair  lift  provides  the  means  for  individuals  who  cannot  negotiate  stairs  to  gain 

access to a moderate vertical floor elevation change, such as a stage, riser, or platform. 

 

This portable wheelchair lift has been designed with both the passenger and the facility 

in  mind.    It  provides  the  passenger  with  safe  access  to  a  stage,  and  gives  the  facility 

maximum flexibility and ease of use.  Because it is transportable, the lift can be quickly 

set up for use when needed or put into storage when not needed.  The lift can be used 

at almost any stage or platform up to 42 inches [1060 mm] high. 

 

About This Manual 

This manual provides facility personnel with all the necessary information to safely and 

correctly  set  up,  break  down,  and  transport  the  lift.    In  the  interest  of  safety,  it  is 

essential that all personnel performing these tasks read and understand this manual. 

 

Section  1

  presents  operational  and  physical  information,  and  describes  the  basic 

components  and  operation  of  the  lift.    Section  1  also  covers  important  safety 

information. 

Section 2

for transportation.
