when drilling holes for mounting hardware! Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2 Power Base Installation of Base • Place the assembled lift as it is configured in the shipping carton into the desired location. • Bolt the Lifting Arm to the Post using the supplied 5/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolt and lock nut. • Raise the Lifting Arm to achieve an 1/8” clearance to the lowest point of the vehicle’s roof that the lifting arm will encounter during its travel (usually the door opening or rear A/C vents). • Unscrew the Adjustable Link to provide the desired height of the lifting Arm and bolt the two components together using the supplied 3/8” x 2” hex bolt, two 3/8” washers and one 3/8” Stover lock nut (no nylon). • The lift has been wired with a Hand Control Harness. The short red lead from the Hand Control Harness plugs into the Vehicle Wiring Harness to power the lift. • Plug the 6 prong connector on the Hand Control into the 6 prong plug on the Hand Control harness located near the base of the lift. This quick connect plug will allow you to remove the Hand Control while not in use if desired. 12 Section 5 -Installing the AL400 Continued IMPORTANT! Make sure that the Post is seated completely down into the white Power Base bushing. If there is any wobble to the post, rotate it in the base bushing until it drops completely onto the pin located in the bottom of the base unit. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE LIFT IF THE POST IS NOT SECURELY SEATED IN THE BASE! THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ROTATING MOTOR AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! NOTE: The lift is factory set to rotate 190 degrees for passenger (right) side applications. However, the lift can be configured for right or left side applications by changing the orientation of the Post. This can be accomplished using the following steps: 1. Pull out the Bolt from the bottom of the Post by removing lock nut and pulling the bolt through. 2. Press the OUT button until the motor hits the rotation limit and stops rotation (the lift stops itself). Because the Shear Pin is removed, the Lifting Arm is not coupled to the Power Base and may not turn on its own. Position the Lifting Arm manually so it is pointing straight out the back of the vehicle. Figure 5.3 Offset Post Option Figure 5.4 Adjustable Strap 3. The hole for the bolt in the Post should be lined up to allow the bolt to be inserted. Insert the bolt and put lock nut on the end. You may need to rotate the Lifting Arm slightly to get the holes to line up. 4. Using the Hand Control, swing the Lifting Arm through its entire range of motion to check for interference. Also, close any doors to check that the lift does not interfere. Adjust the Power Base location and Lifting Arm height as necessary. The Lifting Arm should rotate until it is pointing straight out the back of the vehicle and then stop itself. NOTE: When using the Offset Arm Conversion, the Lifting Arm should rotate until it is pointing perpendicular to the side of the vehicle and stop itself. Also, pay particular attention that the Lifting Arm rotates in far enough to load the scooter. • Follow the Operator Instructions to Load and Unload the scooter of chair from the vehicle to test operation and clearances. • Determine if the scooter or chair will need to be moved closer to the lift or further from the side of the vehicle. This will be done by adjusting the location of the Strap Roller on the Lifting Arm. The Lifting Arm is factory pre- assembled with the strap out at the furthest extent and may need to be adjusted to fit a particular application. • Measure the distance the scooter should be moved to clear any obstacles. • To move the Strap Roller, remove the Split Ring (like on a key chain) from the Clevis Pin. Pull out the Clevis Pin and Strap Roller and replace it in the desired hole location. Holes on the Lifting Arm are on one inch centers. (See Figure #5.4) • Recheck all fasteners. Refer to the instructions included with your docking device for information on preparing the scooter or power chair for use with the Universal Inside Lift. 13 Section 5 -Operating the AL400 Lift Operational Guidelines: • Inspect the Lifting Strap prior to each use. Contact your distributor if it shows signs of wear or fraying. • Do not operate this lift until you dealer has satisfactorily instructed you in the proper operation of this lift. • Always make sure the vehicle’s parking brake is firmly set before operation. • Keep hands and feet from under the scooter or power chair as it is being lifted. • Take care not to hold one of the buttons on the Hand Control until the Lifting Strap switches direction. The UP button should always pull the strap up and vice versa. If your buttons cause opposite movement, contact your distributor. Loading your Scooter or Power Chair Note: Due to the wide variety of scooters, power chairs and vehicles, your dealer may offer a different method for Loading and Unloading your scooter. Please follow the guidelines they have offered. Note: The Hand Control ma...
