INSTALLER INSTALLATION TRIAL FIT PROCEDURE The AL215, AL225, AL425, AL435 ,AL435T require a minimum of three holes to be drilled into the vehicle’s floor to secure the base. The positioning is vital to the lift's successful installation and operation. Figure 13-1 Figure 13-2 Before drilling any holes, ensure that the lift can be positioned to permit a full range of motion.

INSTALLER LIFT ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTMENTS : ROTATION Do not set the limits to over rotate the arm. Damage may occur to the AL225 / AL425 / AL435 / AL 435T vehicle. The amount of allowable rotation is determined by CAUTION! the cams indicated below. Loosen set screw and rotate as required.
INSTALLER DOCKING DEVICES DOCKING DEVICES The Docking Device is an interface between the lift and the power chair or scooter. Most power chairs and scooters can be lifted either by the center seat post or the four-post seat frame. Types of Docking Devices [Figures 25-1 and 25-2] These Docking Devices are two of the most common and can lift most power chairs and scooters.
