SPECIAL CAUTIONS
Pay attention to the following Special
Cautions while operating the lift.
•
Return the hold-down arm to a side, or down
position before folding the platform (Models
AL560, AL560XL, AL003, AL030, AL300-FULL,
AL580, AL580XL, AL580-HDX). Failure to do so
will damage your lift.
•
Beware of pinch points.
These are areas of
moving parts that can catch extremities or
clothing. Do not place fingers, extremities,
clothing or jewelry near pinch points.
•
Keep hands, feet and objects away from the
platform as it lowers.
•
Walk the mobility device onto the lifts
platform. Driving onto the lifts platform may
present complications and/or hazards when
stepping off of the mobility device.
•
Keep the chair tires properly inflated.
Improper inflation will change how the chair
fits and secures on the platform and will
change the securement pressure.
•
Secure the chair firmly before driving.
Double-check to confirm that the chair is
secured properly before you transport it.
•
Inspect the lift condition often. If ANY parts
are worn or damaged, DO NOT USE THE LIFT.
Immediately contact the dealer that you
purchased the lift from to schedule repairs.
•
Do not enter steep driveways straight on.
Enter and leave at an angle to the street so that
the lift does not drag on the ground.
•
Do not move the vehicle with the platform
down.
If the vehicle is driven with the lift in the
DOWN position, the lift and/or the vehicle will
be damaged.
•
Check with a dealer to make sure a new
mobility device is compatible with the lift and
vehicle before replacing a mobility device.
•
Hand-wash or only use a touch-less automatic
car wash with the lift installed
.
To prevent
damage DO NOT use automatic car wash
systems. See Figure 3-1.

people, animals or materials other than those for
which the lift was designed.
Take EXTREME CARE while transporting the
mobility device onto the lift to avoid damage and/
