Section 7: Safety & Maintenance
• Inspect the condition of your lift often to be sure it remains in good working order. Do not use the lift
if any parts are worn or damaged. Contact DiscountRamps.com for part replacement or repairs.
• Do not place objects under the lift.
•
Be sure powerchairs or scooters with pneumatic tires are properly inflated prior to placing them on
the lift platform for transport. Tires that are not properly inflated may hinder the powerchair/scoot
-
er’s ability to stay positioned on the platform.
• Always secure your powerchair or scooter for transport with the retractable tie-down straps. The
straps should always be placed over the powerchair or scooter and then attached to the respec-
tive tie-down point on the platform. Do not hook the tie-down straps directly to your powerchair or
scooter.
• Exercise extra caution while driving with the mobility lift attached to a vehicle hitch receiver. Slow
down for potholes, speed bumps, uneven roads, and railroad tracks. Excessive bouncing due to
rough driving may result in damage to the mobility lift, powerchair, or vehicle suspension.
• Avoid driving up or down steep inclines to prevent the mobility lift from dragging or scraping on the
ground.
• Do not operate or transport the lift while the powerchair/scooter is occupied.
•
The mobility lift is designed specifically for transporting powerchairs and mobility scooters. Do not
transport other vehicles or materials with the mobility lift.
• Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the mobility lift continues performing at its best and
without problems. Always inspect the lift before use.
•
Grease the eight fittings on the pivot arm using a grease gun every 90 days.
• Check for dirt, dust, and grime buildup over time. Lower the platform and clean with mineral spirits
or high-performing solvent. Once clean, grease areas with a high-grade water-resistant mixture,
such as boat trailer wheel bearing grease.
• Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a gloss black lacquer to inhibit rust. This
may be necessary more frequently when the mobility lift is subjected to road salt spray.
