SPECIAL CAUTIONS
• Return hold-down arm to a side
position before folding platform.
Failure to do so will damage your lift.
• Beware of pinch points. These
are areas of mechanical objects
with moving parts than can catch
extremities or clothing. Do not place
ngers, extremities or allow clothing
near such points.
• Keep hands, feet and objects away
from Platform as it Lowers.
• Keep chair tires properly inated.
Improper ination will change how the
chair ts and secures on the platform,
and changes the clamping pressure.
• Secure chair rmly before driving.
Double-check that is it secured
properly to the platform before you
transport it.
• Inspect the lift condition often. If
ANY parts are worn or damaged, DO
NOT USE THE LIFT. Immediately contact
the dealer you purchased the lift from
for repairs.
• Do Not Enter Steep Driveways
Straight On. Enter and leave at an
angle to the street so that the lift does
not drag on the ground.
• Do Not Move the Vehicle with
Platform Down. If you move with the
platform in the down position, you will
damage the lift mechanism.
• Hand Wash or Use Touchless
Automatic Car Wash only. To
prevent lift damage do NOT use
automatic wash systems.

SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
This lift is NOT meant for human transport. The chair or
scooter MUST be unoccupied before operating the lift. Each
lift is designed to transport a specic chair only. DO NOT
attempt to move any mobility devices, objects, people, or
materials other than those for which the lift was designed.
CAUTION!
Drive with EXTREME CARE while transporting your chair or
scooter on the lift. DRIVE SLOWLY over rough terrain such as
pot holes, unpaved roads, railroad tracks. Excessive bumping
creates stress on the lift and vehicle and can badly damage
your lift, vehicle, and mobility device.

Safety & Maintenance
NOTES FOR AL015,
AL100 AND AL160
MODELS
WARNING!
On some scooters, it
may be necessary to
temporarily move the
steering tiller forward to
clear the hold-down arm
as it lowers into the lock-
down position.
WARNING!
Some scooters have
pneumatic (air inated)
tires. If your scooter has
this type tire, be sure the
tires are properly inated.
Improper ination will
change the deck height of
the scooter and therefore
change the amount of
clamping force the hold-
down arm places on
the scooter. The scooter
can fall o the lift if not
properly secured.
CAUTION!
Drive the scooter o
in REVERSE. When the
scooter is clear of the
platform, raise the
platform by pushing up
on the UP/DOWN switch.
MAINTENANCE
This Outside Lift is designed to be as trouble free as possible;
however, some basic maintenance will ensure that it continues
to oer reliable use for years to come.
Oil pivot points on all moving parts every 30 days.
Re-grease the inside vertical square tube every 30 days in
winter or in dirty or dusty conditions. Just lower the platform
to the ground and clean the tube with mineral spirits, WD-40,
or a good solvent. When clean, grease the square vertical tube
shaft with high grade water-resistant grease such as boat trailer
wheel bearing grease. [Figure 12-1]
Check for paint chips and touch up bare metal. Use a good
gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit rust. You may need to
do this more frequently if your lift is subject to salt air or road
salt in the winter.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Read & understand this Manual prior
to installation or operation.
Knowing the lift’s adjustments and the tips on proper installation
techniques will save time, energy and avoid possible injury. If you
do not understand any portion of installation or operation, please
consult our technical service department or authorized mobility

Quick Reference – Installation Procedure
1. Wire the Vehicle. See page 17.
Installing the wiring harness first will ensure you have power
to the lift during installation. This allows the motor to do the
lifting for you. (If you skip this step, use a shop battery.)
2. Position the
open box behind
the vehicle. Slice
the corner seams.
[Figure 15-1]
3. Determine / Install Hitch Height / Adapter. Measure the
hitch to ground distance so you can save time by selecting
components that fit between lift and vehicle so as to maintain
proper ground clearance. [Figure 15-2] Install Hitch Adapter
that fits the application. See pages 21 to 25.
Figure 15-2
Figure 15-1
Never attempt to pick up the lift from the box,
ground or on/off a vehicle alone.
If you follow the proper installation procedure, no
heavy lifting will be needed, and the lift practically
installs itself.

Section 2 : inStaller Installation
WIRING THE VEHICLE
Improper wiring is the #1 cause of problems in the operation
of a vehicle lift. Follow the wiring instructions carefully
The vehicle wiring harness is located in the hardware pack.
The harness is manufactured to comply with SAE J1128
requirements. It is approximately 23 feet long and will
accommodate most vehicles.
1. Unwind the wiring harness and lay it at.
The harness end with the black connector is
the lift end. It goes to the trailer hitch area
where the lift will mount. [Figure 17-1]
WARNING!
DO NOT connect
the red wire
until LAST.
2. Begin routing the wiring harness at the vehicle
battery. Attach the black wire to the negative terminal on
the battery. Do NOT attach the red wire until the very end
of installation. [Figure 17-2]
CAUTION!
NEVER attempt to connect the harness to
a secondary power source. Always connect
both leads directly to the battery.
3. Run the vehicle harness under and, when possible,
through the vehicle back to the bumper/trailer hitch area.
• DO NOT run wiring near the gas tank.
• If you wish to run the harness under the
vehicle, use the supplied wire ties to
secure the wire against the frame, avoiding
moving parts / hot parts such as exhaust.
• Run the wire under and through the
vehicle whenever possible, gaining
entry into the vehicle through the
firewall
• DO NOT run wiring where it can be
snagged by road debris.

4. Once harness is run into the vehicle,
remove the pin's protective tubing.
5. Inspect the pin's retaining anges.
They may have become deformed while
run through the vehicle. These are critical to
secure the pins inside the connector. Adjust
as needed.
6. Flip open end connector's jigned
retainer, insert pins as shown. [Figure 18-2]
Verify the wires can not be pulled out by
moderately pulling on the wires.
Be sure rubber seals are inside back of
connector and close the hinged retainer.
7. Plug connector into the lift.
8. LAST…attach red wire to the positive
terminal on the battery. [Figure 18-3]

IMPORTANT!
If the installation requires the wiring harness to run on
the underside of the vehicle, route the harness away
from the exhaust system, brake lines, fuel lines and gas
tank. Avoid pinch points and sharp edges. Avoid locating
the harness where it can be snagged by road debris.
NOTE: A standard two-contact trailer connector is
included with the lift. This is for the license plate lamp. If
your vehicle is not equipped with the proper connector,
you can use the BROWN WIRE to make a wire splice and
achieve the same result. [Figure 19-3]
TECH NOTE: MOTOR TESTING
Troubleshooting with a test light
or voltage meter may give a false
indication.
When you probe for 12 volts, the
reading may indicate a connection,
even if the connection is not
necessarily sufficient. The lift’s motor
can draw up to 20 amps at some
points, requiring all of the available
wire to flow proper current. Poor
connections are the #1 problem
associated with a slow, intermittent,
warm, poorly performing motor which
will also deteriorate prematurely.
If a single strand of a multi-strand wire
is making contact, 12V will appear on
a meter or test light, but it will not
allow the motor to operate. It is always
best to test both current and voltage,
or run the motor with known good
shop battery or power source when
troubleshooting.

VEHICLE HITCH
Outside Lifts require a vehicle that can accept a
Class 1, 2 or 3 hitch. The vehicle should be wired
with a standard 4 connector trailer wiring.
If you are not sure about the vehicle and
hitch capability, contact a local hitch installer
