Installation
VehIcLe hItch
Outside Lifts require a vehicle that can accept a
Class 1, 2 or 3 hitch. The vehicle should be wired
with a standard 4 connector trailer wiring.
If you are not sure about the vehicle and
hitch capability, contact a local hitch installer
or you can visit web sites of a hitch company.
For example: www.hitch-web.com;
www.reeseprod.com; www.draw-tite.com
Be sure to use a hitch installer that is reputable,
insured, and capable. Their work reflects directly
on the customer’s perception of your mobility
lift installation.
1. calculate the weights of the lift,
mobility device, and, where applicable,
the Swing-away option.
Be certain that
the total weight does not exceed the hitch’s
recommended tongue weight. A range of
hitches are available, capable of bearing
different amounts of weight.
The lift manufacturer suggests the installer
observe the vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
restrictions.
Some states have strict license plate
obstruction laws. Familiarize yourself with
local and state laws.
2. ensure the receiver tube of the hitch is
installed parallel to the ground.
This is a
requirement, not merely a recommendation.
If the hitch is not installed properly it affects
the lift’s functionality.
Some vehicles will require that the rear
suspension be supplemented. The manufacturer
recommends the installer contact a suspension
specialist for additional technical support.
A vehicle with a Class 2 hitch requires optional
accessories.
A vehicle with a Class 3 hitch and standard 4
connector wiring is ready for installation.
Note:
Not every vehicle is capable of
having a hitch installed.
adapters. Hitch Expanders
and Extenders are strictly
prohibited – using them or any
other aftermarket accessory
may result in damage to the
vehicle, lift, and/or personal
injury to the user.
