TROUBLESHOOTING

Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the battery is not fully charged or because the battery is worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

90-Day Maintenance Schedule

!Lower the platform to the ground, clean away any rem- nants of old grease from the T-bar inner-telescoping tube, and apply a new coat of all-weather lithium grease to the inner-telescoping tube. See figure 14.

!Apply all-weather lithium grease to the pivot points of the T-bar.

!Lubricate the key switch with an electrical-type lubricant (not WD-40).

!Remove the vehicle battery connections and clean them to ensure uninterrupted electronic connection.

!Torque the hitch bolt.

!Check the lift system for loose or damaged parts. Have your authorized Pride Provider repair or replace any problem parts before using the lift system.

General Cleaning Guidelines

The lift system can be hand washed along with the vehicle with soap and water. However, automatic drive-through car washes should be avoided as they may interfere with and cause damage to the lift.

The wiring harness should be checked periodically for corrosion and/or decay. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if the wiring harness needs to be replaced.

Lift Platform/Metal Components

!Check the lift platform for wear or damage. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for repair or replacement.

!The lift platform surface may become slippery if exposed to moisture (ice, snow, rain, mist/spray conditions, etc.). Use caution when loading/unloading a mobility device in these conditions and wipe off any excess moisture from the lift platform.

!Regularly inspect the metal lift components for scratches. Treat any problem areas with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.

If your lift system is exhibiting wear that you feel is questionable in any way, contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or modify the manufacturer settings and materials.

Lift Removal

!Raise platform to stowed position.
