6. Operate the lift in the upward direction.
WARNING! Pinch/Crush Hazard! Always
keep hands clear of the lifting strap while
the lift system is lifting/lowering a mobility
product. Ensure that all people and
objects are a safe distance away from the
mobility product being lifted/lowered and
clear from path of travel.
NOTE: Do not drag the mobility product into position

too far away from the vehicle.

10. Rotate the boom-arm toward the vehicle. When the mobility product is securely in the vehicle, lower
the mobility product into the vehicle and secure it.
NOTE: Rotate the boom arm to the desired position to facilitate installation.
NOTE: Ensure the mobility device is secured against slipping once installed in the motor vehicle.
11. Shut off the lift system to prevent any accidental movement when transporting your mobility product.
WARNING! Your lift system was designed to be mounted primarily in a motor vehicle.
Mounting your lift system on a platform, where the height of the lift may cause the lifting
strap to extend beyond a safe point, can damage the lift system and injure the lift
operator.
WARNING! Do not overtighten the strap. Doing so may put excessive strain on the motor,
causing the circuit breaker to trip.
To prevent dragging:
Release the lifting strap tension.
Correct the position of the mobility product.
Attempt the lift again.
MANDATORY! The lift system is designed to lift a maximum weight of 400 lbs. (181 kg).
Do not exceed this limit.
7. If the mobility product begins to tilt, lower it completely and adjust the docking device by moving the
pick-up bar in the direction of the tilt (when using a C-arm).
8. Tighten the pick-up bar once the proper balance point has been found (when using a C-arm).
9. Once the mobility product is raised high enough to fit into the vehicle, stop the lift. See figure 8.
