ASSEMBLING THE LIFT

2.Assemble the split ring collar. See figure 5.

3.Slide the split ring collar over the upper post and tighten both screws (a good starting point is approxi- mately 12 in. down from the top of the upper post). See figure 4. To ensure safe operation, the split ring collar must be secured no closer than 5 in. from the top of the upper post.

WARNING! Failing to tighten both screws of the split ring collar could cause damage to your lift, mobility product, and vehicle.

UPPER POST

L-BASE

NOTE: The split ring collar may need to be ad- justed down so the boom arm has sufficient head room to swing into a vehicle, or adjusted up so the mobility product being lifted has ample room to clear obstructions.

4 . Lower the motor housing over the upper post until it rests on the split ring collar. See figure 6.

WARNING! Prevent injury! keep hands clear of the upper post when lowering the motor housing.

WARNING! The lift will be top heavy un- til mounted securely. Get assistance to help stabilize the lift while swinging the boom arm.

Once the lift is assembled and seated on the L-base, close the hatch slowly to make sure the lift doesn’t make contact with it. If the lift is too close to the rear, adjust its position slightly until the hatch can close without making contact with the lift. Positioning the L-base close to the rear allows the boom-arm to stay as short as possible. This en- ables the lift to swing into the vehicle without contacting the far side of the vehicle.

You may need to adjust the height of the motor hous- ing (see figures 6 and 7) or the length of the boom- arm (see figure 8) so the boom arm can swing freely without hitting at any point inside the vehicle.
