Remove the packing screw 

(see Fig. 33a) to release the

PLUG IN YOUR CONTROL DEVICE 

 

There are three control options for the Versa Lift. General 
information about each control is provided in Fig. 33b, 
shown to the right. 

(Detailed information and required 

hardware is provided in the box your control came in).

 

 

The corded remote (keyed) plugs into Port #1.

 

 

The downstairs (keyed) wall switch plugs into 

Port #1, while the upstairs wall switch (no key) plugs 
into Port #2.

 

 

The wireless radio receiver plugs into Port #1. 

(The receiver can be mounted on the back of the lift 
head, or on either side of the lift head. See Fig. 33a.)

 

See Fig. 33a below for the location of control Ports #1&2. 
Please note the orientation of the locking tab on the plug, 
as the plug will only insert one way. The locking tab must 
be depressed whenever you wish to remove the plug.
