Section 7 - Operating the AL010 Micro Scooter Lift

LOADING YOUR SCOOTER 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, drive your scooter onto the platform, from left to right, until the rear wheels are located in the rear wheel platform cradle.

With the scooter on the platform and the rear wheels located in the wheel stops, raise the platform with the UP/DOWN toggle switch until the platform stops automatically.

Your scooter 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: On some scooters, it may be necessary to temporarily move the steering tiller forward to clear the hold down arm as it lowers into the lock down position.

Caution: Some scooters have pneumatic (air inflated) tires. If your scooter has this type tire, be sure the tires are properly inflated. Improper inflation of the tires will change the deck height of the scooter and therefore change the amount of clamping force the hold down arm places on the scooter. The scooter can fall off of the lift if not properly secured.

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

Caution: When driving with your scooter 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 SCOOTER:

To unload your scooter, 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. Fold away the hold down arm. Drive your scooter off in REVERSE. When the scooter is clear of the platform, raise the platform by pushing up on the UP/DOWN switch.

Caution: If the steering tiller needed to be moved when loading the scooter, be sure that it is out of the way of the hold down arm prior to lowering the platform.

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.
