Test Lift Operation
6
Open the door(s)
fully
, stand
clear and press the orange
UNFOLD switch. Observe all
points of the lift as it unfolds to
be
certain
that the lift
does not
contact
the door opening. If any
contact occurs, the lift
must be
repositioned
.
Press the red DOWN switch to
lower the platform. There must
be a
minimum 1" clearance
between the lift and the vehicle
as the platform lowers. The lift
must be repositioned
if there is
not a
minimum 1" clearance
.
Review the
Positioning and
Clearance Checklist
.
Be
certain
the lift is properly posi-
tioned and clearance is ad-
equate. The
lift must be
repositioned if any contact
occurs!
Repositioning:
Loosen or
remove mounting hardware and
carefully reposition the lift if
needed
to meet the positioning
and clearance specifications.
Then, bolt the lift in position as
detailed in Step 2.
Review lift securement details in
Step 2 to ensure the lift is
properly mounted.
Note the angle of the platform
when it reaches ground level.
Platform angle must
be prop-
erly adjusted. Follow the
Plat-
form Angle Adjustment In-
structions
on pages 26 and 27
to achieve the proper platform
angle.
Positioning and Clearance Checklist
Vehicle Clearance:
Vertical arms and parallel arms
must
clear door
opening (vertical sides) as lift unfolds and folds
(see points 1 and 2).
Parallel arms (bottom side)
must
clear door sill
when lift is fully lowered (see point 3).
There
must
be 1/2" clearance between the lift
and the vehicle door(s) when the platform is
completely folded (see point 5).

Lift
must
clear door-mounted control box when

Design Lifting Capacity
Vista Series lifts are rated at a
design lifting capacity of 800
pounds. The combination of lift
base plate, mounting bolts,
underfloor reinforcement bars and
the vehicle floor/chassis configu-
ration
must support the lift and
the lift load
.
Note:
Visually check alignment
of towers and vertical arms while
testing lift operation. Refer to the
Positioning and Clearance
Checklist
and corresponding
illustrations.
Note:
Refer to the
Bolt Tightening
section and
Figure M on page 16 also. Adjust
tightness of mounting hardware to
maintain proper alignment.
