E.	Due to the open side barriers, a minimum safe distance to surrounding objects must be ensured to avoid risk of entrapment:
1.	For a continuous vertical surface with no edges or protrusions (completely smooth), a minimum distance of 4.72 inches (120 mm) must be ensured.
2.	For other surfaces, the minimum distance is 15.75 inches (400 mm).
F.	It must be possible to install platform controls at a height of 15 to 48 inches (380 to 1200 mm) in the surrounding area. Otherwise additional equipment is needed, e.g., a post to mount the controls
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

B.	The FlexStep and EasyLift are installed in a finished location. All flooring, painting, and other finish work must be completed before installation
1.	The fascia wall beneath the top landing must be smooth, vertical and flush with the top landing.
2.	The floor must be smooth and level, with no more than 3/16 inch (4.76mm) slope across the installation area. The units will require manufacturer supplied shims for floors with a greater slope.
3.4	FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.	Field Inspection: Coordinate field inspection in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
B.	Manufacturer's Services: Coordinate manufacturer's services in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
