OPERATION Vehicle Hitch Operating the Swing Away Many scooter and chair owners require access to the rear of a vehicle. To accomplish this a Swing Away option is added to the lift installation. This allows the complete lift to be conveniently and easily swung away from the back of the vehicle and allow easy access to the trunk or lift gate. The Swing Away option can be purchased from any authorized dealer and added at any time.
Safety & Maintenance Caution: Keep hands away from PINCH POINTS. As with most mechanical objects, the hinge point of a moving part creates a pinch point. Be sure to not to stick fingers or extremities at or near these points. Inspect the condition of your lift often. If any parts are worn or damaged DO NOT USE THE LIFT. Immediately contact the dealer you purchased the lift from for repairs. Caution: Keep feet and any other objects out from under the platform as it lowers.
Troubleshooting Guide Check the power supply. The wiring harness ( both wires ) must be run directly to the battery. Attaching the black ( ground ) wire to the frame of the vehicle is NOT considered a reliable ground. Run the lift from a shop battery and not through the vehicle wiring harness. If this solves the problem, check the vehicle wiring harness for bad connections or broken wires.
