Section 7 - Safety & Maintenance
SAFETY:
Caution: Do not operate this lift until your dealer has satisfactorily instructed you in the proper operation of the
lift.
Your Harmar Inside Lift has been engineered and designed for years of trouble free use. Although, with every-
day use, some parts may become loose or worn. IMPORTANT! Check regularly for any worn, loose or dam-
aged parts of your lift. If anything is observed, DO NOT USE THE LIFT! Contact your dealer or installer of the
lift for repairs to be made. Failure to act may cause severe injury!
Your Harmar Inside Lift should only be used for the loading and unloading of scooters and power wheelchairs for
which it is designed. DO NOT add to or modify any part of the lift system without first contacting the manufac-
turer of the lift. Any modifications may void any warranties as well as effect the structural integrity of the lift.
ALWAYS CHECK THE LIFTING STRAP BEFORE EACH USE FOR DAMAGE OR WEAR.
Always make sure the vehicle’s parking brake is firmly set before operating the lift.
Caution: Insure that the Lifting Strap is secure and taught and that it points straight down before lifting of the
scooter or power chair. Failure to do so could result in the scooter or chair swinging toward the operator of the
vehicle.
Caution: When using the lift, keep your hands and feet from under the scooter or power chair as it is being
loaded or unloaded.
Caution: Stop lifting before the Strap Hook contacts the Strap Roller mounted on the Lifting Arm. Contact will
result in damage to the lift. A properly adjusted and operated lift will avoid this.
Caution: Insure that the scooter or chair is firmly sitting on the floor of the vehicle and not suspended by the lift.
If the scooter or power chair is not firmly on the floor of the vehicle, it may move during transportation and cause
damage to the lift, scooter or power chair, vehicle, or passengers.
MAINTENANCE:
The Harmar Inside Lift has been designed to be as trouble free as possible for the owner. But, as with any mechani-
cal device, regular care should be given while owning and using this device.
Maintenance is no exception.
We recommend that dealers should schedule a preventative maintenance inspection at least once a year on
motors, lift frame, wiring harness and all moving parts of the lift.
Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit rust. This
may be necessary more frequently when subjected to salt air or road salt.
Always check the lifting strap before each use. If any wear or fraying is noticed DO NOT USE THE LIFT! Con-
tact the installer or dealer for repair. Failure to act may cause damage to the vehicle or severe injury!
Hand control units should not be exposed to the weather. If the lift is mounted in the bed of a truck, remove the
hand control between each use. Exposure to the elements may cause the unit to fail.
WARRANTY:
This lift is covered by a three year factory warranty on materials and workmanship. Contact your local dealer for
more information or go to www.harmar.com for complete details.
