Observe all safety
precautions
SAFETY
• Never exceed the load capacity of the lift installed according to
Bruno instructions:350 lb (159 kg)
• Never use the ASL-275 to lift or transport people.
• Do not allow children to play on or under the lift platform.
• Regularly examine the ASL-275 for loose hardware and attachments.
Tighten as necessary.
• Load and unload from/to as level an area as possible.
• Maintain a safe distance from moving lift parts.
• Avoid unloading into vehicular trac.
• Make sure mobility device (scooter or powerchair) is OFF before
attaching it to the lift.
• Do not remove any guards or covers.
• Do not operate the ASL-275 while seated on the mobility device.
• Operate the ASL-275 from the side of the unit, not the front.
• Keep feet and legs at a safe distance from the lift platform.
• Check for obstructions under the platform prior to lowering the platform.
• Adjust your driving to address the handling limitations imposed on the vehicle by the additional
weight of the ASL-275 plus the mobility device.
• Reduce your speed until you become familiar with your vehicle’s turning and braking
performance with the lift installed.
• Avoid sudden maneuvers. Anticipate turns, stops and lane changes.
• Be aware that the addition of the ASL-275 and a mobility device may cause your vehicle to be
more susceptible to crosswinds.
• Use caution when driving a lift-equipped vehicle on slippery road surfaces (snow, ice, loose gravel).
• Reduce your speed when travelling on bumpy roads, over railroad crossings, street gutters and
other road surface irregularities.
• Be aware that the ASL-275 adds length to your vehicle. Back up carefully.
• Remove any loose items from the mobility device before transporting it. Be sure batteries are
securely strapped or clamped in place.
• Before taking the lift through a car wash:
• verify that the car wash is a touchless system;
• remove the mobility device from the lift;
• run platform UP to folded position.
