Versa Lift
Opening Installation Specs
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
You will need a single 120 volt AC grounded electrical
outlet to plug in the Versa Lift power cord. It is highly
recommended that the outlet be on the same switched
circuit as the lighting in your attic so that when the attic
lights are turned off, the power to the Versa Lift is also
turned off. This arrangement will be more convenient for
you and will prevent unintended operation of the lift.
The power cord provided with this product has three blades.
The longest blade is the grounding blade (Fig. 1a). The
shorter flat blades are the current carrying blades. You will
need a grounded power outlet (receptacle) as shown below
(Fig. 1a). If your outlet does not have a grounded receptacle
for a three blade plug or if you are unsure if your outlet is
correctly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the
outlet (receptacle) to make sure it meets local codes.
Incorrect grounding puts you at risk of electrical shock.
Never modify the equipment plug to fit a two blade outlet
(receptacle)!
If you use an extension cord, it must be a heavy duty three-
wire type with a three blade grounding plug and matching
grounded outlet (receptacle) like those shown in Fig. 1a
and rated for at least twice the load (10 amps minimum).
LIFT OPENING SPECIFICATIONS:
VERTICAL ATTIC SPACE:
The Versa Lift requires a minimum of
60”
of vertical space
directly over the lift opening (Fig. 1b).
OPENING DIMENSION & TOLERANCES:
The final opening size is
30½”
x
58½”
with a tolerance of
+1/2”
and -
0”
(the opening can be up to
1/2”
larger, but
no smaller.) The lift opening must be square as shown
below (Fig. 1c). Diagonal A should equal B within
1/2”.
LIFT OPENING FINISH:
The lift opening must have smooth, perpendicular side
walls.
No nail heads, brackets, sheet rock or decking
can protrude or extend into the opening,
as this will
cause the lifting platform to become caught on those
edges and the lift will malfunction. (See Figs. 2a, b, & c).

in your area. Unintended operation can cause
the lifting platform to move unexpectedly,
possibly causing injury to persons or damage
to property located directly under the lift.

WARNING
To prevent unintended lift operation,
you must turn the power switch off, unplug the power
cord, or disconnect the power when not in use! The
wireless model radio is active if the lift has power and
is turned on and can operate the lift whenever a
coded signal is received from the VersaLift remote
