Consider the following general information when
using your lift. Specifics may vary based on your
chair model and lift combination.
Always make certain your lift is fully deployed and
flush with the ground prior to loading your mobility

Ensure you have positioned the chair properly on
the platform and that it is secured on the lift before

dealer on the specifics of your application if you
have questions.
Always drive slowly over rough terrain such as
potholes, unpaved roads, railroad tracks, speed
bumps or other uneven surfaces. Excessive loads
and rough driving will damage your lift and will not
be covered by the warranty.
Stop using the lift immediately if you notice any
damage. Do not attempt to transport a mobility
device with a compromised lift. Damage to your
chair, lift and/or vehicle may occur. Contact your
dealer and ask for an evaluation of the lift prior to

Using your remote control, lower the lift platform
until it reaches the ground and becomes level.
See Figure 3-1.

NOTE: Your lift is designed to draw power from the car
battery as needed and will operate while the vehicle is
off. However, it is recommended that the lift be operated
while the car is running for optimal performance.
1. Drive your mobility device onto the platform.
Determine the heaviest portion of the mobility
device. This is usually under the drive wheels,
motor(s), and batteries. Always drive onto the
platform with the heaviest portion closest to
the lifting tower. If loading a scooter and the
platform has the AL617 extension plate, drive
onto the platform so that the scooter’s front
wheels are resting on the extension plate,
and the rear wheels are on the main platform.
This allows the heaviest portion of the scooter
to be closest to the lifting tower. Set your
mobility device speed control to slow speed to
maneuver easily onto the platform.
See Figures 3-2.

SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
Except as described elsewhere in this manual,
maintenance must be performed only by qualified
technicians. Contact your dealer with questions
or to schedule any needed inspections, repairs, or
service.
This hybrid lift is designed to be as trouble-free as
possible, but as with any mechanical device, regular
maintenance will help ensure that it continues to
offer reliable and safe use for years to come.
We recommend that you schedule a preventative
safety and maintenance inspection with your dealer
at least once a year on motors, lift frame, wiring
harness, strap integrity, and all moving parts of the
lift.
OWNER/MAINTENANCE
Before Use: Do not use lift until these conditions
are rectified.
• Check for any obstructions in the path of the
lift. Keep items away from aluminum channels.
• Visually check lifting strap (during empty travel)
before loading chair.
• Clean any debris from the platform.
• Keep hand control cord away from moving
parts.
• Avoid loose items in the cargo area of the lift.
