d. Refer to Figure 2-4. With doors fully open, position lift in vehicle doorway so that back of lift is supported
by vehicle floor, and front of lift is supported by both bracket assemblies.
VEHICLE FLOOR
e. Fasten Baseplate to Floor:
NOTE: If Ricon power door operators are used, install them first. They may influence location of lift.

Be certain baseplate is flush against vehicle floor. The baseplate may be slightly offset in door opening to
provide proper clearance for passenger seats.

Before drilling, verify that lift position does not interfere with closing of vehicle doors or operation of passen-
ger seats.

If this lift is being installed in a Dodge van with sliding doors, omit the bolts in baseplate holes 7 and 8.
f. Mark and Drill Holes:
Before drilling holes, verify that underlying wires and tubing will not be damaged.
1) Refer to Figure 2-5. Mark and drill five 25/64" baseplate mounting holes (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) through ve-
hicle floor. (On Dodge and GM vans, you must drill through vehicle floor and subframe).
2) Place five 8" x 3/8" carriage bolts (use 4" x 3/8" bolts on Ford vans) into holes to secure position.
3) Refer to Figure 2-6 on the following page. Match and align top holes of stepwell brackets 6, 7, 8, and
9, with baseplate holes 6, 7, 8, and 9. Mark lower stepwell bracket holes 10, 11, 12, and 13 onto vehi-
cle step.
4) Remove five carriage bolts installed in step 2). Carefully push lift into vehicle interior.
5) Drill 1/4" dia holes through marked locations 10, 11, 12, and 13.
