Parking the Chair on the Platform:
Before
loading the power chair, verify that the
platform has been lowered all the way to the
ground. Set your chair’s speed control at a
slow speed so that you may maneuver
comfortably onto the platform. Drive the
chair onto the platform into the opening of
the docking station.
Raising the Chair:
Before raising, verify that
the chair is secured to the platform. While
holding the hand control stand to the side and
away from the lift. Press the up button. The
lift will rai se and retract into the vehicle. The
lift is retracted fully when the platform is fully
inside of the vehicle and the lift’s motion stops.
At this point release the button. Secure the hand
control by placing it on the hook and loop
patch attached to the lift. Close the rear door
carefully taking notice of any baskets,
backpacks or additional items attached to the
chair that may be hit by the door.

THREE WAYS TO VERIFY YOUR CHAIR
IS SUCCESSFULLY LOCKED DOWN
1) AUDIBLE "CLICK or POP" SOUND
3) REVERSE TEST
2) VISUAL INDICATOR
The yellow indicator will extend and stay
extended when the chair is
successfully
locked in place.
Attempt to back the chair off the platform.
The chair will NOT move in any direction
when successfully locked.
As the chair enters the locking device,
it should be driven forward until an audible
pop or clicking sound is heard. This sound
is the locking device setting itself around
the chair's docking device pin.
NOTE: During transport, vibration
may cause the chair to tighten itself in
the locking device, making the release
knob difficult to slide. To overcome this,
simply drive the chair forward a bit.
This will take pressure off the knob,
allowing an easier release.
