ABSOLUTELY NO RIDERS! No person under 18 years of age

death to a child who attempts to ride the lift or to lift others!
When not in use, ALWAYS raise the lifting platform to the
highest position and unplug the power cord to lift, lock the
remote and store the key!
WARNING
!
WHEN WORKING IN THE ATTIC, STAY ON
DECKED AREAS. If you must enter non-decked areas, stay on
joists. The materials between the joists will not support your
weight and will collapse if you stand or sit on them. Be alert to
overhead hazards, such as exposed nails. Be aware of and
avoid openings, such as the ladder opening or the lift opening
when you are working or moving around in the attic.
WARNING
!
When working with power tools, follow all of
the manufacturers safety guidelines and wear approved safety
glasses and hearing protection.
WARNING
!
DO NOT WORK ALONE IN A HOT ATTIC or
if you have any health condition that could affect your balance,
your mobility, or cause you to loose consciousness. If you
have any diminished capacity, always work with another
person in case you should need help. Don't work in the attic
in the heat of the day. You can quickly be overcome by heat
exhaustion in a hot attic in just a matter of minutes. Morning
hours are the coolest time to work in the attic.
WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT IN
DAMP, WET OR POORLY LIGHTED LOCATIONS or attic spaces
and don't expose it to rain. Do not use this equipment in the

DANGER
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH, ALL OPERATORS MUST READ

WARNING
!
FALLING HAZARD: The ladder opening and
lift opening present falling hazards to any person who enters
the attic. When you are in the attic space, be alert at all times
to these openings. We highly recommend you install a safety
railing around your ladder opening, such as the Versa Rail by
BPG* (see Fig. 0).
WARNING
!
If you install this lift product inside the
living space of a home, or in a closet, or a walk-in attic
accessible to children, then you must also install the Auto-
Shutter* from BPG that automatically closes the lift opening as
the platform goes down to help prevent children, pets, etc.
from falling through the opening (the Auto-Shutter is not
illustrated in this manual).
