Operation Instructions
•
Inspect the Lifting Strap prior to each use. Contact your distributor if it shows signs of wear or fraying.
•
Do not operate this lift until you dealer has satisfactorily instructed you in the proper operation of this lift.
•
Always make sure the vehicle’s parking brake is firmly set before operation.
•
Keep hands and feet from under the scooter or power chair as it is being lifted.
•
Take care not to hold one of the buttons on the Hand Controller until the Lifting Strap switches direction. The UP
button should always pull the strap up and vice versa. If your buttons cause opposite movement, contact your
distributor.
Loading your Scooter or Power Chair —Trunk Applications
Note
: Due to the wide variety of scooters, power chairs and vehicles, your dealer may offer a different method for
Loading and Unloading your scooter. Please follow the guidelines they have offered.
•
To assemble your lift, begin by inserting the Post into the Arm assembly. Next, slide the Power Frame onto the
top of the Post. Line up the Red stripe on the Power Frame, Rotation Limit Collars, and Arm assembly.
•
Plug the Hand Control into the Power Frame and into the AL 065 Harness.
•
Swing the Power Frame toward the scooter.
•
Maneuver the scooter parallel to the rear bumper and two inches behind the vehicle. Depending on the vehicle,
it may be necessary to: remove the seat; fold down or remove the handle bar; remove accessories such as
brackets, baskets, crutch holders, etc.
•
With the docking device positioned directly under the Strap Hook, lower the Lifting Strap using the DOWN button
on the Hand Control until the Strap Hook can be engaged into the docking device installed on the scooter or
chair. Hook the docking device on the scooter or chair with the Strap Hook and remove any play in the strap by
pushing the UP button on the Hand Control until tension is felt.
Caution: Ensure that the Lifting Strap is secure and taught and that it points straight down. Failure to do so
could result in the scooter or chair swinging toward the operator of the vehicle.
•
Raise the scooter or chair using the UP button until the scooter or chair is just above the trunk lip.
Caution: Stop lifting before the Strap Hook contacts the Strap Roller mounted on the Power Frame. Contact
will result in damage to the lift. A properly adjusted and operated lift will avoid this.
•
Swing the scooter or chair into the vehicle, ensuring that the scooter or chair does not contact the vehicle.
•
With the scooter or chair positioned above its stowed position, lower the lift using the DOWN button on the Hand
Controller. Continue lowing the Strap Hook slightly beyond the scooter touching the floor to allow removal of the
Strap Hook from the Docking Device on the scooter or chair.
•
To disassemble the lift, first raise the strap until the freed Strap Hook is about an inch away from the Power
Frame. Unplug the Hand Control harness from both the Vehicle Harness and the Power Frame.
•
Pull the Power Frame off the Post and lay it on the floor of the trunk. Then, pull the Post out of the Arm Assem-
bly and set it down with the Power Frame.
