control box mounts to the inside
face of the lift door as shown.
Allow control box clearance.
Control box installation details are
provided on pages 20 and 21.
Figure F
Minimum
1/2"
Clearance
The lift vertical arms and
parallel arms must be
parallel (aligned) to each
other. The lift towers should
be perpendicular (90˚) to the
vehicle floor (except when
base plate shims are used).
Stepwell Installations:
It is Not Permissible for
the base plate to
overhang an open
stepwell. Details at right.
Clearance:
Visually center the unit in the
opening. Position the base plate
parallel to (aligned with) the
vehicle lift door sill or stepwell as
shown in Figure D. Close the
vehicle door(s). From inside,
position the unit as close to the
door opening as possible while
maintaining a minimum clear-
ance of 1/2" between the nearest
point on the lift and the door or
door latch. See Figures E and F.
Alignment:
Side to Side Alignment: As
viewed from outside the vehicle,
the lift vertical arms and platform
should be perpendicular (90°) to
the vehicle floor and parallel
(aligned) with the vertical sides of
door jamb. The vertical arms and
the parallel arms must clear the
door opening when the lift folds
and unfolds. See Figure C on
previous page.
Inboard to Outboard Align-
ment: When viewed from "pump
side" to "opposite pump side," the
vertical arms and parallel arms
must be aligned and parallel to
each other. See Figure F. The lift
towers should be perpendicular
(90°) to the vehicle floor except
when base plate shims are
used (details on page 12).
Stepwell Installations: When
installing a VL917 Series lift in the
side cargo door (with stepwell), it
is not permissible for the base
plate to overhang the stepwell.
Additional base plate support
must be constructed in the
stepwell for lift support if the base
plate overhangs the open
stepwell. The structure must be
level with the existing floor and of
equivalent construction (structural
strength).
