Section 8 - Operating the AL030 Power Tote for Manual Wheelchairs

LOADING YOUR WHEELCHAIR ON THE LIFT

Turn ON the power switch with the key furnished with your lift. Lower the platform using the UP/DOWN toggle switch. Pushing the switch downward will cause the platform to lower. Unfold the platform, then continue lowering to the ground. Release the UP/DOWN switch just as the platform reaches the ground; do not attempt to raise the rear of the vehicle with the lift or damage could be done to your lift or vehicle.

CAUTION: Keep your feet out from under the platform as it lowers.

Once the lift platform is on the ground, raise the hold down arm. Roll the wheelchair onto the platform until the large rear wheels settle into the platform "H" frame cradle. Raise the platform with the toggle switch until the lift's arm comes in contact with and clamps down the chair.

Your chair is now ready for travel. You may wish to remove your key from the power switch to avoid any potential tampering with your lift and scooter.

Caution: Before driving off with your chair on the lift, make sure that the chair is firmly held down on the platform.

Caution: When driving with your chair on the lift, slow down for pot holes, speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc. Your lift 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 you lift platform does not drag on the ground.

Caution: Do not attempt to move the vehicle with the lift platform in the down position. If moved this way, the lifting mechanism will be damaged.

UNLOADING YOUR WHEELCHAIR:

To unload your chair, just turn ON the power switch and push the UP/DOWN toggle switch to the down position. Hold the switch down until the platform just touches and is level to the ground. Roll your chair off the lift platform. Fold the hold down arm to its stowed position.

To park your lift in the stowed position, hold the UP switch. The platform will start up in the horizontal position. Once it has reached close to the top of its travel, fold the platform. Continue to raise the lift until a racheting sound is heard.

You may wish to remove you key from the power switch to avoid any tampering with your lift.

Special Note: The lift features a manual override. If the vehicle or lift loses power UNPLUG THE LIFT and turn the key switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the round plastic cap from the top of the motor box and using a 3/8” socket, turn the wrench clockwise to raise the lift and counter clockwise to lower the lift. ( If the lift does not operate properly, immediately take it to the local dealer. DO NOT attempt to modify the lift in any way!)

Do not attempt to move the vehicle without the lift in the

stowed or travel position. Any attempt to move the vehicle without the lift fully up may cause damage to the lift, scooter or vehicle.
