2. Introduction: About Your Lift
Each Calibre lift is fully 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
• DEALER GUARANTEE CARD
• PACKING CHECK LIST
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and will be required for your insurance
records. It is valid for six months and after it has expired the lift should be inspected and serviced
per the maintenance schedule.
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.
