MOTOR HOUSING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The placement of the height adjustment ring determines the
height of the motor housing. See figure 7.
" Lower the ring when more room is needed overhead to
swing the boom-arm inside a vehicle.
" Raise the ring when more height is needed to enable a
mobility device to be lifted into a trunk.
To adjust the height adjustment ring:
1. Loosen the setscrew on the ring. See figure 7.
2. Raise or lower the ring to the necessary height.
3. Tighten the setscrew.
BOOM-ARM ADJUSTMENT
Before adjusting the boom-arm, lower the lifting hook about
12 in. (30.5 cm). This will provide enough slack in the strap
to enable the adjustable portion of the boom-arm (top tube)
to be pulled out of the bottom tube to its farthest adjustment
hole. See figure 8.
To adjust the boom-arm:
1. Remove the bow tie cotter pin from the adjustment pin
and remove the adjustment pin.
2. Slide the top tube in or out to the desired adjustment
hole.
3. Align the adjustment holes of the top and bottom tube
and reinsert the adjustment pin.
NOTE: Do not force the pin into the adjustment hole.
Be sure that the strap is not pinched when inserting
the pin.
4. Reinstall the bow tie cotter pin into the adjustment pin to
secure the boom-arm.
L-BASE INSTALLATION
After determining the ideal spot for your lift to be permanently mounted, remove the entire lift from the vehicle
except for the L-base.
1. Inspect the undercarriage of the vehicle where the lift L-base is located for obstructions that may hinder the
installation of the five (5) mounting bolts that will secure the L-base to the vehicle. Obstructions may consist of
electrical wiring, gas tank, bumper mounts, or exhaust pipes. You may need to adjust the base extensions to
clear obstructions. If possible, install the L-base with the base extensions fully extended. See figure 9.
WARNING! Explosive Conditions Hazard! The bumper mounts on some vehicles are gas
pressured. DO NOT drill into them. They may explode casing severe injury.
