IV. OPERATION
EXTERIOR LIFT SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING! The Exterior 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.
Figure 10. Key Switch Operation
Follow these steps to operate the Exterior Lift System:
1. Insert the key into the key switch.
2. Turn and hold the key clockwise to lower the lift plat-
form. See figure 10. Release the key as soon as the lift
platform touches the ground.
3. Set the speed control of the mobility device to the slow-
est 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
mobility device (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 mobility device
must be loaded and unloaded from the
driver’s side of the vehicle. Loading the
mobility device from the passenger side
will not allow for proper securement of
the device to the power dock adapter.
4. 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.
