Pioneer AL600 Installing in Vehicles with a Removable Third Row Seat, Hold Down Brackets

Installing in Vehicles with a Removable Third Row Seat

Preparing the vehicle’s cargo area: Most mini vans, vans and some S.U.V.s have a removable third row seat. Forinstallations in these vehicles,

remove this seat. If your vehicle does not have a removable third row seat, see the

next page for instructions.

Installing the Leg Assembly: Place the leg assembly into the vehicle. Orientate the leg assembly as shown in the drawing to the right. Hook both of the J-Bolts into the third row seat attachment points. Verify that the leg assembly is centered from side to side within the vehicle. Tighten the nuts on the J-bolts until the assembly is firmly attached to the vehicle. At this time the foot plate should be placed in the vehicle near the rear opening. This will support the two rearmost feet of the lift and keep the feet from pressing into the floor pan of the vehicle.

Install the 4 Leveling Pads from the hardware pack at this time. Each Pad will thread into the underside of the base at

each corner. Leveling adjustment can be after the lift has been installed.

This part of the leg

assembly must

face toward the

rear of the vehicle.

Placing the lift into the vehicle: Pick up the lift and place it into the vehicle’s cargo area. This operation will require two people to perform. Take care during this operation not to scratch the vehicle’s interior. Position the lift such that it will be one inch inside of the rear door. Verify this by closing the rear door and inspecting the fit from inside of the vehicle.

If your vehicle has a lip at the rear door you will need to use the adjustable feet to raise the entire lift so that all of its moving parts will clear the door lip.

Use a wrench to extend the adjustable feet until the lift’s middle stage will clear the door lip and door latch by 0.5”.

Leveling the lift: The floor in some vehicles is not level. To level the lift start by parking the vehicle on level ground. Use a carpenter’s level to verify the lift is level. If it is not, adjust the four feet until the lift is level.

Attaching the lift into the vehicle: The leg assembly has two sets of large holes in its upper surface. When installing a Pioneer for use with a scooter, select the holes that will offset the lift to the driver’s side of the vehicle. When installing the Pioneer for use with a power chair, select the holes that will offset the lift to the passenger's side of the vehicle. Insert both hold down rods into the holes in the Leg Assembly. If needed you may slide the hold down brackets along the lifts body so that the hold down rods line up with the holes in the top of the leg assembly. Crossbolt the hold down rods in place with the supplied hardware. Tighten the 5/8” nuts on the hold down rods, until the lift is attached securely to the vehicle.

Caution: Do not remove the hold down brackets and

reattach them on the opposite side of the Platform Keeper.
