Unloading Your Scooter or Power Chair 

 

Undo any preparations made to secure the scooter or power chair for transport. 

 

Raise the scooter or chair by pressing the UP button on the Hand Control until the tires are high enough to clear 
the highest obstacle, usually the door sill or tailgate. 

 

Caution:  Stop lifting before the Strap Hook contacts the Strap Roller mounted on the Lifting Arm.  Contact 
will result in damage to the lift.  A properly adjusted and operated lift will avoid this. 

 

Using the OUT button on the Hand Control, swing the scooter or chair out of the vehicle, carefully insuring that 
the scooter does not contact the vehicle. 

 

With the scooter or chair positioned away from the vehicle, lower the lift using the DOWN button.  Continue lower-
ing the lift slightly beyond the scooter or chair touching the ground to allow removal of the Strap Hook from the 
docking device on the scooter. 

 

Caution:  Do not allow the scooter or chair to come in contact with the vehicle.  Damage may result to both 
the vehicle AND the operator. 

 
Replace anything removed from the scooter or chair for loading purposes.  Raise the strap first using the IN button on 
the Hand Control and swing the Lifting Arm back into the vehicle.  Close the doors or tailgate and you are ready to go. 
 

PLEASE PROCEED TO SECTION #7 FOR SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION.
