fasteners in them. This is normal since the guard ramp activating bar can be mounted on either side.
4. Keep the VPL platform free of debris. Sweeping to clear these areas regularly enough to prevent debris
accumulation is required. Wiping with a damp cloth should be sufficient for additional surface cleaning. If
needed, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used on the platform and guard ramp surfaces.
Alkaline based detergents should not be used to clean your VPL.
5. If the platform and guard ramp surface are covered with frost, ice and or snow, remove frost, ice and or
snow before using the VPL.
Calcium chloride is often used to deice and prevent ice from forming on roads. Used properly,
this may be useful to help rid or keep your VPL platform free of frost, ice and snow.
If using a deicing or ice preventing agent, such as Calcium chloride, always check that
the platform is free of ice before using it. Calcium chloride may not always be effective in
removing frost, ice and or snow.
If the VPL was cleaned with soap, rinse all soap from VPL and let VPL dry before using.
Use extra caution while on the VPL platform and guard ramp surfaces are icy or wet.
If cleaning with water, turn off VPL and unplug the AC power before cleaning.
6. Periodically check and ensure that the safety pan under the platform moves freely up and down and is not
damaged. This is the built in safety device designed to detect obstructions under the platform and stop
platform downward motion.
Do not operate VPL if the safety pan is malfunctioning. Contact your dealer immediately, or call
our Technical Support line at 1-800-332-1381, or visit us on the internet at www.ezaccess.com.
