MAINTENANCE
Your Inside Lift has been designed and engineered to be as trouble-free as possible. But as with any
mechanical device, it requires regular care while owning and using it.
ALWAYS check the lifting strap before use and while using the lift. If any wear or damage is noticed DO NOT
USE THE LIFT! Contact the dealer or installer for repair. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or damage.
Schedule a preventative maintenance inspection with your dealer at least once a year on motors, lift frame,
wiring harnesses, and all moving parts.
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 if the lift is subjected to salt air or road salt.
Store hand control units inside the vehicle whenever possible. If the lift is installed in the back of a pickup
truck, unplug the hand control after each use and store it inside the cab. Submerging the hand control in
water may cause it to fail.

WIRING THE VEHICLE
Improper wiring is the #1 cause of problems
in operating 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 flat.
One end of the harness has 2 covered pins. This is
the lift end and goes to the rear cargo area where
the lift mounts. [Figure 11-1]
The wiring harness is unassembled for easier
installation. The end connector is included
separately from the harness to enable the
installer to run the wire under and through the
vehicle with the smallest clearance possible
2. Route the wire harness beginning at the
battery. Attach the black wire to the negative
terminal on the battery. [Figu re 11-2]
3. Run the vehicle harness to the rear cargo
area/trunk. Run the wire under and through the
vehicle whenever possible, gaining entry into the
vehicle through the firewall. [Fig ure 11-3]
DO NOT run wiring where it can be snagged by
road debris or near the gas tank.

WARNING!
DO NOT attach the red wire until the
very end of installation.
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.

INSTALLER
If you want to run the harness under the vehicle,
you will most likely need to drill a hole to get
the wire into the rear cargo area/trunk. Use the
supplied 3/8 grommet in the hole to protect the
wire.
If the harness is too long for the vehicle, coil the
excess wire and secure it to the vehicle frame
with the supplied cable ties.
DO NOT cut or shorten the harness.
4. When the harness is through the vehicle,
remove the pin’s protective tubing. [Figure
12-1]
5. Inspect the pin’s retaining flanges. The flanges
may have been deformed while being run
through the vehicle. These are critical to secure
the pins inside the connector. Adjust as needed.
[Figure 12-2]
6. Flip open end connector’s hinged retainer.
• Insert pins as shown. [Figure 12-3]
• Verify the wires cannot be pulled out by
moderately pulling on the wires.
• Be sure rubber seals are inside the back of
the connector.
• Close the hinged retainer.
• Plug connector into lift.
7. Attach red wire to the positive terminal on
the battery. [Figure 12-4]

TRIAL FIT PROCEDURE
The AL215, AL225, AL425, AL435 ,AL435T require
a minimum of three holes to be drilled into the
vehicle’s floor to secure the base. The positioning is
vital to the lift's successful installation and operation.
Before drilling any holes, ensure that the lift can be
positioned to permit a full range of motion. [Figure
13-1]
1. Place the base in the vehicle’s cargo area.
Shown is passenger-side installation. [Figure 13-2]
Driver’s side is identical, but mirrored.
2. Fold the chair or scooter’s seat back (or remove
seat), preferably with the docking device attached,
to roughly observe the chair’s transportable
dimensions. Measure length, width and height.
[Figure 13-3]
3. With an assistant, place the lift on top of the
base in the extreme back corner of the cargo
space. This will yield the greatest available loading
area. Slide the arm onto the post. [Figure 13- 4]
4. Simulate each of the chair’s dimensions (length,
width and height) while running the lift through
its full range of motion in and out of the cargo
area. [Figure 13-5 Bottom]
5. Verify that each of the measurements allows
full range of motion within the cargo area and
the opening, mark the three locations to drill.

After you know the lift position from the trial fit
procedure, you are ready to drill three 3/8” holes in
the locations you marked.
1. Drill Pilot Holes
• Choose a safe location to drill a single pilot
hole from above in one of the three marked
locations.
• Look under the vehicle and measure the
specified distance from the pilot hole.
• If all is clear in that area continue to drill in
remaining locations.
• Inspect all three pilot holes under the
vehicle.
• If all clear, drill 3/8” holes in pilot locations.
[Figure 14-1]
2. Fasten Base
When holes are drilled, fasten base to vehicle
floor using supplied hardware in the hardware
pack. Be sure to tighten all fasteners. [Figure 14-2]
Special Cases
Storage compartment or well can potentially affect
lift placement. Most of these situations can be
managed with the help of an All Thread Kit.
[Figure 14-3]
Spare Tire Storage
If the spare tire is stored under the floor, be sure
that the base can be bolted through a steel floor or
frame.

1. Place base in corner of truck bed. Attempt to
position as close to the corner as possible while
leaving at least 1” clear around the base on all
sides. [Figure 17-1]
2. Install leg extensions into base tubes and
extend them as far as they will go. The Long Leg
Extension should run parallel with the bumper.
Set screws can be hand-tightened at this time.
[Figure 17-2]
3. Recommended practice before drilling.
With base in position, use a tape measure to
estimate the distance in both directions from an
exterior reference point (Ex. outside body panel)
to all three potential bolt holes. Repeat this
underneath the truck bed. [Figure 17-3]
Check framing, bracing, or other nearby
thickened structure on which to mount the
lift. Adjust position of base and leg extensions
to capture as much frame as possible while
avoiding the vehicle’s gas tank, spare tire,
suspension components etc.
CAUTION!

4. Double-check hole positions for pilot holes.
Mark the three hole locations. Use the base as
a template, then remove base. Drill pilot holes
down through truck bed in the marked locations.
[Figure 18-1]
5. Climb under truck and inspect location of
pilot holes. Again, be sure that the larger hole
will avoid the vehicle’s gas tank, spare tire,
suspension components, etc.
Finish drilling by making 3/8” holes through the
truck bed and when possible, through the frame
of the truck in the locations shown by the arrows.
[Figure 18-2]
Wherever possible, incorporate the frame rails
of the truck. This is a requirement when lifting
heavier chairs and scooters. [Figure 18-2]
6. Drill two more 3/8” holes for the base leg
anchors through the truck bed; if the frame is
not captured, if bed material is too thin, and/or
application is very heavy. [Figure 18-1 and 18-3]
