terminal and red wire last to the positive
terminal on the battery. See Figure 4-7.

NOTE: The lift includes a standard two-contact trailer
connector. Use this connector for the license plate lamp.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the proper connector,
use the brown wire to make a wire splice and get the
same result. See Figure 4-8.

Battery Pack
If a customer is not comfortable with connecting the
vehicle power harness directly to the battery of the
car, Harmar offers a stand-alone battery pack (AL205).
The battery pack can also be used when hybrid or
electric vehicles have a 12-volt battery capable of
supplying power to a mobility lift.

Tech Note: Motor Testing
NOTE: Troubleshooting with a test light or voltage meter
may lead to a false reading.
When you probe for 12 volts, the reading may
indicate a connection even though the connection
may not necessarily be 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 main problem associated
with a slow, intermittent, warm, poorly performing
motor and make the motor more likely to deteriorate
prematurely.
If a single strand of a multi-strand wire is making
contact, 12V will appear on a meter or test light
but will not allow the motor to operate. When
troubleshooting, it is always ideal to test both the
current and the voltage or run the motor with a
known good shop battery or power source.
Optimizing Hitch Height
You can change the height of the lift by adjusting the
hitch adaptor's orientation and location on a standard
hitch adaptor. Changing the height of the lift helps
you optimize the vehicle's ground clearance to ensure
that the platform lies flat when it reaches the end of
its travel. To select the orientation needed for the
vehicle based on the hitch height (the distance of the
vehicle's hitch receiver to the ground). Refer to Figure
3-6 on page 9 and chart on page 10.
