Section 5 - Installing the AL400 Continued
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the Post is seated completely down into the white Power Base bushing. If there is any
wobble to the post, rotate it in the base bushing until it drops completely onto the pin located in the bottom of the base
unit. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE LIFT IF THE POST IS NOT SECURELY SEATED IN THE BASE!
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ROTATING MOTOR AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!
NOTE: The lift is factory set to rotate 190 degrees for passenger (right) side applications. However, the lift
can be configured for right or left side applications by changing the orientation of the Post. This can be
accomplished using the following steps:

1. Pull out the Bolt from the bottom of the Post by removing lock nut and pulling the bolt through.
2. Press the OUT button until the motor hits the rotation limit and stops rotation (the lift stops itself). Because
the Shear Pin is removed, the Lifting Arm is not coupled to the Power Base and may not turn on its own.
Position the Lifting Arm manually so it is pointing straight out the back of the vehicle.
3. The hole for the bolt in the Post should be lined up to allow the bolt to be inserted. Insert the bolt and put
lock nut on the end. You may need to rotate the Lifting Arm slightly to get the holes to line up.
4. Using the Hand Control, swing the Lifting Arm through its entire range of motion to check for interference.
Also, close any doors to check that the lift does not interfere. Adjust the Power Base location and Lifting Arm
height as necessary. The Lifting Arm should rotate until it is pointing straight out the back of the vehicle and
then stop itself.
NOTE: When using the Offset Arm Conversion, the Lifting Arm should rotate until it is pointing perpendicular to the
side of the vehicle and stop itself. Also, pay particular attention that the Lifting Arm rotates in far enough to load the
scooter.
• Follow the Operator Instructions to Load and Unload the scooter of chair from the vehicle to test operation and
clearances.
• Determine if the scooter or chair will need to be moved closer to the lift or further from the side of the vehicle.
This will be done by adjusting the location of the Strap Roller on the Lifting Arm. The Lifting Arm is factory pre-
assembled with the strap out at the furthest extent and may need to be adjusted to fit a particular application.
• Measure the distance the scooter should be moved to clear any obstacles.
• To move the Strap Roller, remove the Split Ring (like on a key chain) from the Clevis Pin. Pull out the Clevis Pin
and Strap Roller and replace it in the desired hole location. Holes on the Lifting Arm are on one inch centers.
(See Figure #5.4)
• Recheck all fasteners.
Refer to the instructions included with your docking device for information on preparing the scooter or power chair for
use with the Universal Inside Lift.
