SAFETY:
·
Caution:
Do not operate this lift until your dealer has satisfactorily instructed you in the proper operation of the lift.
·
Your Harmar lift has been engineered and designed for years of trouble free use. Although, with everyday use,
some parts may become loose or worn.
IMPORTANT!
Check regularly for any worn, loose or damaged parts of
your lift.
If anything is observed, DO NOT USE THE LIFT!
Contact your dealer or installer of the lift for repairs to
be
made. Failure to act may cause severe injury!
·
Your Harmar lift should only be used for the loading and unloading of scooters and power wheelchairs for which it is
designed. DO NOT add to or modify any part of the lift system without first contacting the manufacturer of the lift.
Any modifications may void any warranties as well as effect the structural integrity of the lift.
·
Always make sure the vehicle’s parking brake is firmly set before operating the lift.
·
Caution:
When using the lift, keep your hands and feet from under the scooter or power chair as it is being loaded
or unloaded.
·
Warning:
This lift is not meant for human transport. The mobility device and platform must be unoccupied before
operating the lift.
MAINTENANCE:
The Harmar lift has been designed to be as trouble free as possible for the owner. But, as with any mechanical device,
regular care should be given while owning and using this device. Maintenance should be performed regularly.
·
We recommend that dealers schedule a preventative maintenance inspection at least once a year on motors, lift
frame, wiring harness and all moving parts of the lift.
·
Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit rust. This
may be necessary more frequently when subjected to salt air or road salt.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
PROBLEM
: The lift will not operate or operates slowly.
Possible Causes
:
Bad Connection
- Verify the vehicle wiring harness is tightly attached to the battery and that there is no build up on the
terminals.
Battery
- Check to see if the battery needs to be replaced or if the terminals are corroded. Clean the terminals if any
corrosion is present. 12 volts should be present at the lifting motors from the vehicles battery. This can be tested with a
voltage meter.
PROBLEM
: Intermittent power to the lift. The lift will operate for a short period of time and quit. At a later time it will
start working again.
Possible Causes:
Circuit Breaker
- Although the breaker resets itself automatically, it may be malfunctioning and need to be replaced.
Check for power at the lift with a test lamp.
Bad Connection
- Verify the vehicle wiring harness is tightly attached to the battery and that there is no build up on the
terminals.
Hand Control
- Test by bypassing the hand control. Do this for only a second or two. The lift, vehicle, scooter or chair
may be damaged if continuous power is left supplied to the unit.
PROBLEM
: Platform will not sit level on the ground.
Possible Causes:
Terrain
- Verify that the vehicle is parked on flat level ground.
Orientation of the lift’s base
- Adjust the lift’s four feet until the platform sits level on the ground.
