provide courtesy lighting on the platform when the lift is in operation. In the
event of a power failure the courtesy lights will automatically turn on.
Operation Instructions
Safety First!
1) Make certain that you are fully familiar with all of the controls and functions of
the Garaventa Genesis vertical lift before using it.
2) The platform of a vertical lift is quite different from the cab of a standard
elevator, in that it is not a fully enclosed cab. When the lift is traveling make
sure that your feet, hands and any loose clothing are as far from the edges of
the platform as possible. Always rest your hands on the handrail provided. Do
not rest your hands on top of the platform side walls while the lift is in motion.
3) Keep your hands away from the hinged edge of the door when it is opening &
closing. The swinging door may pinch fingers.
4) Watch out for children when using the vertical lift.
5) If you are using a wheelchair on the Genesis lift, the wheels must be locked at
all times while the lift is moving.
6) Your Genesis vertical lift is rated to carry a maximum capacity of
750 lbs (340 kg).
Do not exceed this rated load.
Calling the Lift to your Landing
To call the platform to your landing, perform the following;
1) Call Station (Keyless) – Push and hold the direction switch to bring the lift to
your landing. When the platform reaches the landing, it will automatically stop.
2) Call Station Operation Key Switch (if equipped) – Insert your ADA compliant
key and turn it to the “ON” position. Follow the same procedure as in Step 1.
When the platform has arrived at your landing, turn the key to the “OFF”
position and take the key with you.
NOTE: - If the “IN USE” indicator lamp (if equipped) is on, the controls at the call
station will be de-activated.
