If preparations needed to be made to secure the scooter or chair for transport, such as parking brakes or wheel
chocks, do these now. Dealers should instruct operators on how, if necessary, to secure the scooter or chair for
transport. Close the trunk and you are ready to go.
Unloading Your Scooter or Power Chair—Trunk Applications
•
Undo any preparations made to secure the scooter or power chair for transport.
•
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 in the Hand Control.
•
By pressing the DOWN button on the Hand Control harness, run the Strap Hook down until it is slightly lower than
the docking device on the scooter.
•
Attach the Strap Hook to the docking device on the scooter or chair and remove any play in the strap by pressing
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 vehicle or operator.
•
Raise the scooter 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 out of the vehicle, carefully ensuring that the scooter does not contact the vehicle.
•
With the scooter or chair positioned away from the vehicle, lower the lift using the DOWN button. Continue lower-
ing the lift slightly beyond the scooter or chair touching the ground to allow removal of the Strap Hook from the
docking device on the scooter.
•
To disassemble the lift, first raise the Lifting 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 of 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.
