Safety, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
SAFETY
Caution: Keep hands away from PINCH POINTS.
Inspect the condition of your Tilt and Tote often. If any parts are worn or damaged
DO NOT USE THE TILT and TOTE. Immediately contact your Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealer. Caution: Keep hands, feet and any other objects away from the platform as it lowers.
Caution: Some chairs have pneumatic (air inflated) tires. If your chair has this type tire, be sure
the tires are properly inflated. Improper inflation of the tires will affect how the unit fits on the platform and therefore change the amount of clamping force on the chair.
Caution: Before driving off with your chair or scooter on the Tilt and Tote, make sure that the chair is firmly held down on the platform.
Caution: When driving with your chair on the Tilt and Tote, slow down for potholes, speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc. Your Tilt and Tote could be damaged by abuse if subjected to excessive loads imposed by rough driving.
Caution: Do not enter steep driveways straight on. Enter and leave at an angle to the street so that your Tilt and Tote platform does not drag on the ground.
Caution: Do not attempt to move the vehicle with the Tilt and Tote platform in the down position. If moved this way, the lifting mechanism will be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
Every 30 days oil the pivot points on all moving parts.
Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit rust. This may be necessary more frequently when subjected to salt air or road salt.
