Loading a Power Chair
Parking the Chair on the Platform:
Before
loading the power chair, verify that the
platform has been lowered all the way to the
ground. Set your chair’s speed control at a
slow speed so that you may maneuver
comfortably onto the platform. You may drive
onto the platform from either side. Park the
chair such that it is centered on the platform.
Securing the Chair to the Platform:
The
Pioneer platform has a restraint attached to
each corner of the platform. Each restraint
has a hook at the end. Place each hook in
either the anchor plate slot, or in each U-bolt.
Pull the loose end of each restraint tight.
To release, simply press the release tab, and
remove the hooks.
Folding Seat Backs:
If your chair has a
folding seat back you may wish to fold it to the
down position. This will allow you more
clearance when loading the chair into the
vehicle. Depending on the size of your chair,
you may need to remove the head rest to
provide for sufficient clearance.
Raising the Chair:
Before raising, verify that
the chair is secured to the platform. While
holding the hand control stand to the side and
away from the lift. Press the up button. The
lift will raise and retract into the vehicle. The
lift is retracted fully when the platform is fully
inside of the vehicle and the lift’s motion stops.
At this point release the button. Secure the
hand control by placing it on the hook and loop
patch attached to the lift. Close the rear door
carefully taking notice of any baskets,
backpacks or additional items attached to the
chair that may be hit by the door.
