1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a new platform lift! We sincerely hope that this lift will help you accomplish the things that

are important to you and those you love.

Note:

We have many of the assembly steps recorded on video for your reference. These videos are not a substitute for this

manual. They should be used alongside this manual. To find the videos use the video links throughout this manual or

Note:

The photos in this guide display lifts in various stages of installation. It is often the case that some recommended safety

feature is not yet in place in a specific photo. In particular, an anti-pinch point wall and a basic stair handrail are missing in

some of the scenarios we photographed.

Note:

There are some minor design changes between different lifts pictured here. These photos might not exactly match your

particular lift.

Note:

If your lift was shipped with some bolts and fasteners already in place and you find it necessary to temporarily remove

them, they must be re-inserted in the same direction. Inserting the bolt in the opposite direction may cause problems.

Note:

Throughout this document this is used as a caution symbol:

Please abide by all safety precautions so that you can

safely enjoy your lift and all that it has to offer.

2. Safety

2.1.

Safety is paramount!

If you have a question or concern about the safe installation or operation of your lift please call

Customer Support at (USA) 434-515-2321 (Provide your Serial Number 'E9997' and contact information when you call).

2.2.

DO NOT USE YOUR LIFT OR ALLOW OTHERS TO USE YOUR LIFT IF YOU SUSPECT IT MAY BE IN AN

UNSAFE CONDITION

2.3. Warning:

No one should ride the lift until the Safety Backup System is installed and all lift testing is complete.

2.4.

Use common sense when installing or operating this equipment. Please read all the instructions before beginning

assembly and installation.

2.5.

The installer and operator are responsible for the safe operation of this equipment.

It is your responsibility to ensure

and verify that this equipment is safely installed. It is your responsibility to ensure and verify that inspections and

maintenance is done.

It is your responsibility to know and comply with all applicable legal codes and regulations regarding

your platform lift.

2.6.

Be sure to lift heavy objects using your legs, not your back.

2.7.

Do not allow children or people who are not able to understand the safe operation of the lift to use or play with the

controllers. Letting unqualified people operate the lift without supervision puts them and anyone around the lift at severe

risk. Allow only capable persons to operate the lift.

2.8.

"Pinch Point" risk is inherent in any mechanical device of this nature. This is the risk of something (such as a toe) getting

caught underneath something as the Platform ascends.

Inadequate vigilance and safety in pinch point risk areas can

cause injury or death or can harm your lift.

A common and prominent pinch point risk area is any gap underneath a

landing, such as a porch or deck. We recommend that you identify any such areas in and around your lift and take safety

precautions. Eliminate pinch point risk by covering openings below the landing with a vertical or angled plywood wall to

prevent body parts and items from being trapped between a landing or floor and the Platform as the lift ascends upwards

from the ground.

Below are two "shear points" before and after installing two different types of shear protection:

Misuse of this equipment can cause serious injury or even death

3. Warnings

Caution! Carefully read the owners manual and the following warnings prior

to use. Failure to comply with the following may result in serious bodily

injury, death, or damage to the lift. If you have questions, contact Customer

Support at (USA) 434-515-2321 (Provide your Serial Number 'E9997' and

contact information when you call).

Prior to use, ensure that the safety mechanism is in place properly. Never use a lift without a safety mechanism properly

installed and functional!

Prior to each use, inspect the cable and components for signs of fraying or damage.

Always lock gates prior to use. Never operate the lift with any gates unsecured.

Always lock/secure wheelchair or cargo from shifting while in use.

This lift is to be used exclusively for the transport of cargo or a wheelchair and occupant and an additional adult where

assistance is required.

Improper use of lift may result in personal injury or damage to the lift. All users must read and follow operating

instructions prior to use of lift.

Ensure that the lift is properly installed and is stable prior to use of the lift. Failure to ensure proper installation may result

in an increased risk that the lift will tip over or otherwise malfunction, resulting in damage to the lift and/or personal injury.

Do not exceed the maximum load capacity.

Remain in the correct, upright position while the lift is in use. Keep entire body within the lift at all times. Failure to

remain in position may result in pinch or crush hazards at the deck/flooring platform and property damage or personal

injury from a malfunction of the lift or falling from the lift.

If the lift is installed to go through an opening to another level, it is particularly important to never rest arms, feet or limbs

on handrails or extending from the lift. Narrow openings pose a substantial risk of injury to the lift or serious personal

injury.

Prior to use, ensure that electrical power is installed on a grounded electrical circuit.

Prior to use, inspect for proper function, required maintenance, or damage. If a problem exists, cease use of the lift

immediately. Do not attempt to make repairs or alterations to the lift. Contact a licensed professional or customer support

for any necessary repairs.

Do not conduct any maintenance, repairs, or otherwise work on this lift while it is operational or plugged in unless

instructed to do so by customer support.

Do not alter or modify this lift or any of its safety devices in any way.

Do not expose any electronic part of this lift to liquid or harsh weather conditions.

Do not use if snow, ice, or other debris have accumulated on the lift.

Do not operate this lift in the presence of combustible or explosive gas or fumes.

Completely disconnect the lift from its power source prior to cleaning the lift.

Do not operate this lift if you are under the age of eighteen (18) years old. All users of this lift who are under the age of

eighteen (18) years old must be accompanied by an adult who is authorized to use this lift and has read its operating

instructions.

Keep children away from this lift at all times unless using this lift while accompanied by an authorized adult who has

read its operating instructions.

Do not stand or place any body part under the lift platform at any time.

When using the lift, ensure that no persons, pets or objects are in the upward or downward path of the lift platform or

collar.

Keep all loose articles, hair, and other objects away from the moving portions of the lift at all times.

Keep hands and feet away from moving parts while the lift is operational

Do not store any items or objects on or under the lift platform.

Store lift in a temperature controlled, dry environment when not installed for use.

Ensure that the lift platform is fully in the down position and all electrical components are disconnected from power prior

to moving the lift.

Use appropriate lifting/transport precautions when moving the lift. The lift is very heavy.

Keep lift controllers in a secure location out of reach of children.

Remain aware of your surroundings and ensure you are able to hear well at all times while the lift is in use

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, CRUSH, ELECTRICAL, TRIPPING

HAZARDS OR DAMAGE TO THE LIFT.

4. Terminology

4.1.

Front, Back, Right and Left Sides:

The Column is located on the back side of the lift. The side of the lift opposite the

back side is the front side. Right and left are determined when you face the lift's Platform from the front.

5. Prepare to Assemble and Install Your Lift

5.1. We Are Here To Help:

We would much rather have you call us for help than have you install your lift incorrectly. Your

lift's serial number is

E9997

. If you have questions or problems during assembly please call Customer Support at (USA)

434-515-2321 (Provide your Serial Number 'E9997' and contact information when you call).

5.2. Receiving Your Lift:

If damage has occurred during shipping immediately document it with photographs and notify our

Shipping Department at (USA) 434-207-8444 (Provide your Serial Number 'E9997' and contact information when you call).

Check your lift for damage before signing the papers with the delivery man, when applicable. If there is damage, note it on

the delivery paperwork appropriately and notify Affordable Lifts.

If damage is found after the delivery papers are signed,

we will not be able to file a claim for the damage with the shipping company on your behalf.

5.3.

We recommend that at least two adults work together to install this lift. Some parts of your lift are quite heavy and having

two or more people assemble your lift reduces the risk of injury. Affordable Lifts is not responsible for injuries that occur

while installing or utilizing your lift.

5.4.

Most customers prefer their lift be oriented for straight-through travel. This means entering one side of the lift (right or left)

going up and then continuing out the other side (right or left). Sometimes this is not practical. If you are using a wheelchair

or walker, remember to allow adequate space to navigate onto and off of your lift's Platform.

5.5.

We recommend that if possible, the Column side of the lift be installed closest to a nearby wall. If bracing is desired, then

this positioning will make bracing easier.

5.6. Before you begin:

The installation site should be flat and level, or you should be prepared to use steel or plastic shims to level

your lift.

The installation site should be clear of debris and as accessible as possible.

Your lift weighs approximately 450 lbs and it has a Platform weight capacity of 500 lbs. Be sure that the floor of your

installation location can support this combined weight.

The lift should sit on a solid surface (concrete, asphalt, solid flooring, etc) or substantial pavers. Anchoring on asphalt

installation requires inserting steel anchors into an epoxied hole.

Pinch point protection should already be installed.

If you remove a section of a landing railing then, if the landing is high enough you should install a safety gate in its place.

Children and pets should be excluded from the area during installation.

6. The Wheel Kit

6.1.

Your lift was shipped with a detachable Wheel Kit. We will discuss the Wheel Kit now because you may choose to use it

in the next steps.

The Wheel Kit consists of two 8" wheels and their axle bolts. These wheels allow the lift to be tilted backwards and wheeled

over a smooth hard surface.

Here is a photo of the Wheel Kit after installation:

While this is an easy way to move the lift, it is still a two person operation.

These wheels should always be removed prior to actually using the lift.

6.2. Wheel Kit Installation or Removal:

Locate the wheel mounting points on the back of the Base. Use a pry bar to lift the corner of the base up about 1".

Place the bolt through the wheel as shown in the photo above.

Use a wrench to secure the wheel by tightening the bolt.

Reverse this process when removing the Wheel Kit.

6.3. Using The Wheel Kit:

With one person at the back of the lift and one person at the front, tilt the lift backwards so that it is balanced on its

wheels.

Carefully move the lift along a flat, hard surface to its desired position.

Remove and store the Wheel Kit once the lift is in place.

7. Unpack Your Lift

7.1. Keep in Mind:

As you unpack,

watch out for any shipping damage

. If you sign for a damaged lift without noting

shipping damage you will not be able to make a claim later.

7.2. Small Parts:

Look inside the grey Controller Storage Box to see what small parts and paperwork it contains.

7.3. Zip Ties:

Remove any zip ties that secure cables or rope to the Column. Do not remove any other zip ties at this point.

7.4. Unbolt the Platform:

The Platform has long bolts through its floor holding it to the pallet. Use a wrench to unbolt and

remove them. If there are additional screws through anchor holes in the Armed Base, remove them as well. Slide the lift

from the pallet.

7.5. Wheel Kit option:

You have an attachable Wheel Kit that is useful for moving the lift across a flat, hard surface.

Attaching the wheels will let you tilt the lift back as if it were on a dolly. If this would help you move your lift, consider

attaching the wheels now. See the

Wheel Kit Section

for wheel attachment instructions.

7.6. Move to installation site:

Move the lift and its parts to the lift installation site.

7.7. Weather:

Electrical components should be protected from weather until properly installed.

8. Position Your Lift

8.1.

Move and orient the lift to the position where it will be used. Do NOT anchor it at this time.

8.2.

If your Wheel Kit is installed, remove and store the wheels now.

Do NOT use the lift while the wheels are attached.

8.3.

The back of the Column should be at least 3" from any vertical plane of a wall or obstruction so that the Collar can move

freely. Note that walls are often not truly vertical! The Platform, the Collar and everything attached to them must have

enough clearance to go up and down their travel height without hitting any obstructions.

8.4.

Use steel or plastic shims (not included) to make the Column plumb.

8.5.

The edge of the Platform, when at the station height, should come to approximately 0.5" (1/2") of the edge of the landing.

Note that many landing edges are not actually square or level.

Below is a typical assembled freestanding lift, positioned for use and with a ground transition ramp in place. Note the shim

under the Armed Base.

9. Electrical Power

9.1. Warning:

When the hoist is connected to electrical power, anyone with a Controller can cause it to activate. Before

plugging in the lift or working on any part of the lift always be sure that no one is pushing any buttons on any hand held

Controller.

9.2. Controller Access:

Controllers should always be kept away from children or those who should not operate the lift

without supervision. The Controller Storage Box has a hasp and can be locked using a customer supplied lock.

9.3. Power Source:

You have an AC motor that requires 120 volt AC power.

Your lift should never require more than 15 amps of electrical power.

Avoid plugging your lift into any circuit that cannot support at least 20 amps or is shared with heavy machinery that

might, together with the lift, trip the circuit breaker.

GFI protected electrical outlets must be used in all locations that might be exposed to water.

You may use an extension cord to bring power to your lift, but it must be 12 gauge or thicker.

Be sure that electrical power cords will not be crushed, punctured or have their insulation worn through.

When installing your lift anywhere where the power cords may be exposed to water you must use weatherproof

extension cords and weatherproof extension cord connectors.

9.4. Plug in the hoist motor power cord into a suitable outlet.

9.5. Power Cord:

Consider using a zip tie to secure any excess power cord out of the way so that it will not rub or chaff.

10. Test Your Lift

10.1. Take a Test Run:

with no one on or under the lift's Platform.

Now that your lift is positioned and plugged into your power source, on your tethered hand held Controller push the “Up”

button to tighten any loose synthetic rope. Then go up several inches and all the way back down again. Be sure to not go

up more than several inches. The motor should turn off when you reach the ground. After you successfully do this several

times you may send the Platform higher, but remember that you have not yet installed your Upper Limit Switch.

Do not

allow your Collar or Actuator Spring to collide with your Hoist Assembly.

10.2. Troubleshooting:

If you run into any issues during testing you may wish to consult the

Troubleshooting Section

at the

end of this document.

11. Adjust Your Lift’s Maximum Height

11.1. Upper Limit Switch:

Your lift has an Upper Limit Switch that automatically stops the Platform at a preset station height.

This is an important safety feature.

You can set this height easily using the 1/8" allen wrench supplied with the lift, taped

on to the Upper Limit Switch bracket.

11.2. Attach The Upper Limit Switch Rain Guard:

If the lift is exposed to severe weather, a Rain Guard (PN 6000144) should be used to prevent water from entering the

switch.
