OPERATION

OUTSIDE VEHICLE LIFT: SECTION 3

SECURING THE MOBILITY 

DEVICE

Depending on the lift model and the type of 

securement device it uses, the platform may be raised 

halfway by pressing the toggle switch UP. By raising the 

platform, the straps will be easier to attach or will be 

easier to raise the mobility device’s armrest out of the 

way of the hold-down arm. See Figure 3-4.

Hold-Down Arm

Straps

Figure 3-4

NOTES FOR AL015, AL100, AL100HD, 

AL100-DE, AL160 AND AL300-FULL 

MODELS

Ensure that the securement system (whether it’s 

a hold-down arm, hold-down foot or straps) has 

enough tension to secure the device.

NOTICE

On some scooters, it may be necessary to 

temporarily move the steering tiller forward to clear 

the hold-down foot as it lowers into the lock-down 

position.

Some scooters have pneumatic (air-inflated) tires. If 

your scooter has this type of tire, be sure the tires are 

properly inflated. Improper inflation will change the 

deck height of the scooter and therefore change the 

amount of clamping force the hold-down foot places 

on the scooter. The scooter can fall off the lift if not 

properly secured.

NOTICE

RAISING THE LIFT

1. 

When the mobility device is secure, use the 

UP toggle switch to continue raising the lift.

2. 

Stop raising the lift when it reaches the top 

of travel and when you hear the clicking or 

ratcheting sound.

3. 

Remove the key. See Figure 3-5.
