L-BASE INSTALLATION
After determining the ideal spot for your lift to be permanently mounted, remove the entire lift from the
vehicle except for the L-base.
1. Inspect the undercarriage of the vehicle where the lift L-base is located for obstructions that may
hinder the installation of the five (5) mounting bolts that will secure the L-base to the vehicle. Ob-
structions may consist of electrical wiring, gas tank, bumper mounts, or exhaust pipes. You may need to
adjust the base extensions to clear obstructions. If possible, install the L-base with the base extensions fully
extended. See figure 9.
SPLIT RING COLLAR ADJUSTMENT
The split ring collar is the height adjustment for the
motor housing. See figure 7. The placement of the
split ring collar determines the height of the motor
housing.
" Lower the collar when more room is needed over-
head to swing the boom arm inside a vehicle.
" Raise the collar when more height is needed to
enable a mobility product to be lifted into a trunk.
To adjust the split ring collar:
1. Loosen the two screws on the collar. See figure 7.
2. Raise or lower the collar to the height you may need.
3. Tighten the screws
BOOM ARM ADJUSTMENT
Before adjusting the boom arm, lower the lifting hook
about 12 in. This will provide enough slack in the strap
to enable the adjustable portion of the boom arm (top
tube) to be pulled out of the bottom tube to its farthest
adjustment hole. See figure 8.
To adjust the boom arm:
1. Remove the bow tie cotter pin from the adjust-
ment pin and remove the adjustment pin.
2. Slide the top tube in or out to the desired adjust-
ment hole.
3. Align the adjustment holes of the top and bottom
tube and reinsert the adjustment pin.
NOTE: Do not force the pin into the adjustment
hole. Be sure that the strap is not pinched when
inserting the pin.
4. Reinstall the bow tie cotter pin.
