TheExteriorLiftSystemisdesignedtobeeasilyinstalledintoanyvehicleequippedwithaClassIIorClassIIIhitchreceiver. The hitch receiver should be installed no higher than 21 in. (53 cm) from the bottom of the hitch tube to the ground.

NOTE: Once installed, the lift system may obstruct the view of the vehicle license plate. Research the local laws for license plate obstruction in your area and install the license plate kit. Contact your autho- rized Pride Provider for more information.

WARNING! The Exterior Lift should be installed by an authorized Pride Provider or service technician only.

Follow these steps to install the lock-down arm:

1. Lay the lift system flat on the floor.

NOTE: If your lift system is equipped with a permanent threaded stud, removal of the pivot tube and pivot bolt is not necessary for lock-down arm installation. See figure 4.

2. Apply power to the lift until there is enough clearance to remove the pivot bolt. See figure 4.

NOTE: If the pivot bolt does not remove easily, apply power to the lift and make a slight adjustment to the angle of the pivot tube. Repeat as necessary.

3.Remove the pivot bolt. Keep hardware for reassembly.

4.Remove the pivot tube. See figure 4.

5.Insert the lift arm securement screw through the countersunk hole of the u-bracket (from the inside out).

6.Position the lock-down arm onto the screw and insert the pivot bolt through the u-bracket and lock-down arm. The pivot bolt is used for alignment purposes at this time.

7.Secure the nut to the securement screw and install the cap. Remove the pivot bolt.

8.Position the pivot tube onto the u-bracket and reinsert the pivot bolt through the u-bracket, pivot tube, and lock-down arm.

9.Install the nut back onto the pivot bolt and install the cap. Do not overtighten the nut. Ensure the pivot tube pivots freely without binding.
