LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The lift system is an electromechanical device designed to lift and secure various types of mobility
devices for the purpose of vehicle transport. The Outlander is designed for use with Class II, Class III,
or Class IV hitches. Check the hitch weight capabilities of your vehicle (check vehicle's owners panual
prior to use. Under no circumstances should the lift system and mobility device exceed this weight limit.
Subjecting the lift system to the strain of hoisting more than it is designed to lift may cause it to fail,
resulting in damage to the mobility device and/or injury to the lift operator. Refer to the mobility device
owner's manual for information on the overall weight of the mobility device and mobility device before
lifting.
WARNING! Adding accessories, oversize batteries, or a different seat will increase the weight of your mobility
device. Verify with your authorized Harmar Dealer that the total weight of your mobility device, including
additions, does not exceed the maximum hitch allowance.
INSTALLATION
The lift system is designed to be mounted to a vehicle hitch system. Before lift installation, ensure that
the hitch shows no signs of rust or wear and that the front and rear vehicle suspension is acceptable.
If any vehicle alterations are necessary, make sure that you fully understand the instructions for drilling
or cutting before making any alterations.
WARNING! Before drilling or cutting into the vehicle, make absolutely certain through visual inspection that
there are no obstructions, such as the fuel tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires, in the path of the drill bit.
LIFTING NON-HARMAR PRODUCTS
The lift system is an extremely versatile device, which users may employ to lift items other than Harmar
products. Harmar has no control over such use, nor can Harmar anticipate every possible use to which
a lift system may be put. Operating the lift system outside of the safe limits as discussed in this manual
or using the lift system to lift any item deemed by Harmar to be incompatible with the lift system is
done at the operator's own risk, and Harmar accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from
such use.
PRELIFT INSPECTION
Before operating the lift system, inspect your surroundings to ensure that the lift system has a clear
path of operation. Remove any possible obstructions before operating the lift and do not allow children
to operate or play near the lift. Ensure that all parts of the lift system are completely fastened before
loading the mobility device onto the lift platform, and make sure the mobility device is properly secured
before operating the lift system.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
The operator of the lift should stand a safe distance from the unit being lifted/lowered to ensure that
his/her feet are never positioned under the raised lift platform. The operator should also keep his/her
hands clear of the lift system to avoid the potential for injury.
TRANSPORT VEHICLE POSITIONING
Be sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground before attempting to load, lift, or remove a mobility
device with the lift system. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged before loading or
unloading a mobility device.
