2. Introduction: About Your Lift
Each Presence lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed/shipped.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton that is used for both export and domestic
markets to ensure the safe arrival of the lift. A number of documents are supplied in a wallet, and
packed with each lift and should be kept safely for future reference.
• TEST CERTIFICATE
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and should be kept for reference purposes.
To properly maintain your lift please refer to the maintenance schedule included in this document. If
you are at all unsure what your country's servicing requirements are, please check with your dealer
and/or a local government agency.
