ASSEMBLING THE LIFT
1. Insert the upper post into the L-base. See figure 4.
2. Slide the height adjustment ring (see figure 5) over
the upper post and tighten the setscrew (a good start-
ing point is approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) down
from the top of the upper post). See figure 4. To
ensure safe operation, the height adjustment ring must
be secured no closer than 6 in. (15 cm) from the top
of the upper post.
WARNING! Failing to tighten the
height adjustment ring setscrew
could cause damage to your lift,
mobility device, and vehicle.
NOTE: The height adjustment ring may need to be
adjusted down so the boom-arm has sufficient head
room to swing into a vehicle, or adjusted up so the
mobility device being lifted has ample room to clear
obstructions.
3. Lower the motor housing over the upper post until it
rests on the height adjustment ring. See figure 6.
WARNING! Pinch Point Hazard! Keep
hands clear of the upper post when
lowering the motor housing.
WARNING! The lift will be top heavy
until
mounted
assistance to help stabilize the lift
while swinging the boom-arm.

Once the lift is assembled and seated on the L-base,
close the hatch slowly to make sure it does not make
contact with it. If the lift is too close to the rear, adjust its
position slightly until the hatch can close without making
contact with the lift. Positioning the L-base close to the
rear allows the boom-arm to stay as short as possible.
This enables the lift to swing into the vehicle without con-
tacting the far side of the vehicle.
You may need to adjust the height of the motor housing
(see figures 6 and 7) or the length of the boom-arm
(see figure 8) so the boom-arm can swing freely with-
out hitting at any point inside the vehicle.
