Before installing an outside lift on your vehicle the vehicle must be equipped with the correct hitch. If
you are unsure whether your vehicle has, or can accept a hitch, contact your local hitch installer or
visit www.hitch-web.com for vehicle hitch compatibility information.
Please note, your lift comes equipped with a license plate hold light. To power this light vehicle must
have a standard 4-contact trailer light harness. Contact your local hitch installer for more information.
Trailer light wiring is designed to power license plate light ONLY. Attempting to run your lift
from ANY secondary power sorce may cause your lift to operate poorly and could potentially
cause damadge to the motor. All Harmar lifts must be wired directly to the vehicle battery.
Hitch recievers MUST be installed so that it sits parellel to the ground. An improperly
installed hitch can affect the operation of your lift. Some vehicles will require supen-
sion to be supplemented. Contact your local hitch installer or refer to your vehicle’s
owners manual for further guidance.
The following pages will help
you to determine correct
hitch adapter positioning.

Always verify that scooter is securely held down to the lift before attempting to transport.
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 locked position
Scooters equipped with pneumatic (air-inflated) tires must have properly
inflated tires at all times. Improper tire inflation may change the height of the deck, thereby
changing the hold-down force required.
Use caution when driving over speed bumps, potholes, railroad tracks or other sudden road changes.
Failure to drive carefully and slowly over such obstacles can result in damage to your lift, vehicle or
scooter.
Use care when entering steep driveways. Enter and exit at an angle to avoid dragging lift on the
ground.
Always confirm that lift platform has been fully raised before transporting scooter or unoccupied lift.
Failure to do so can result in serious damage to you lift or vehicle.
Manual Override Feature
This lift is equipped with a Manual Override feature for use if the vehicle or the lift should ever lose power.
Harmar recommends the manual override be used only by Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealers and qualified
mechanics such as roadside assistance technicians.

AL030 Safety and Maintenance

AL050 Power Chair Preperation
There are 2 options on how to attach the strap hooks to the chairthat are included with the lift.
Anchor Plate: The Anchor Plate is a bar that is 20” long and 2 1/2” wide with 2 holes in each end. This plate
will work with any chair that has a center seat post that attaches to the bottom of the seat. Attach the Anchor Plate
by the following steps.
1. Remove the seat from the chair and turn it over.
2. Loosen the screws that attach the plate tothe bottom of the seat. Allow enough room to slide the Anchor Plate
between the seat and the seat plate.
3. Attach the Anchor Plate in the center of the seat plate with the holes on each end extending evenly on each
side of the seat.
4. Retighten the screws that hold the seat plate to the bottom of the seat.
5. Replace the seat on the chair.
The Anchor Plate should extend about 1-1/2” out from the side of the seat cushion. This will allow the user to attach
the strap hooks to the Anchor Plate to secure the chair to the lift.
Anchor U-Bolts: The U-Bolts are included to be used with Power Chairs that do not have a center seat post.
On this type of chair, the seat is normally attached to a tubular frame. Attach the U-Bolts, one on each side, to the
frame as shown below. Make sure that the loop extends to the outside of the chair to allow the strap hooks to be
attached by the end user.
Each type of chair will differ slightly and the placement of the U-bolts
will differ between different models and manufacturers. Place the Anchor
U-Bolts towards the center of the seat if possible. Because of the different
types of seats, you may be forced to attach the Anchor U-Bolts more towards
the front or rear of the seat, but we recommend attachemnt as close as
possible to the center of the seat
