Follow these steps to operate the lift system:
1. Insert the key into the key switch.
2. Turn and hold the key clockwise to lower the lift
platform. See figure 13. Release the key as soon as the
lift platform touches the ground.
Loading and Securing Your Mobility Device
1. Set the speed control of the mobility device to the
slowest setting and carefully drive your mobility
device onto the lift platform, being sure to center the
mobility device on the platform to the best of your
ability.
NOTE: You may wish to load the mobility device while
standing next to it using the manual freewheel feature.
Refer to the mobility device owner’s manual for more
information on manual freewheel mode.
WARNING! If the lift is equipped with an
automatic lock-down arm, load the
scooter onto the lift platform from the
driver’s side of the vehicle to ensure
proper contact of the automatic lock-
down arm with the scooter floorboard.
Loading the scooter from the passenger
side will cause the automatic lock-down
arm to interfere with the scooter seat
when the platform is raised.
WARNING! If the lift is equipped with the
power dock option, the power chair must
be loaded and unloaded from the driver’s
side of the vehicle. Loading the power
chair from the passenger side will not
allow for proper securement of the device
to the power dock adaptor.
2. Shut down the power to the mobility device, remove
the key if applicable, and make sure the unit is in drive
mode (drive motors engaged). Refer to the mobility
device owner’s manual for more information on drive
mode.
IV. OPERATION
LIFT SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING! The lift system is intended for the transport of mobility devices only. The
mobility device must be unoccupied before operating the lift.
WARNING! Do not exceed the load limits of your vehicle or hitch system as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING! Use extreme caution when driving with the lift installed on your vehicle. Be
aware that the lift extends away from the back of the vehicle and extra clearance is
needed when backing up, turning, parking, or driving through driveway entrances/exits.
Drive slowly when negotiating pot holes, road bumps, and railroad tracks.
