General Cleaning Guidelines
The lift system can be hand washed along with the vehicle with soap and water. However, automatic drive-through
car washes should be avoided as they may interfere with and cause damage to the lift.
Wiring Harness
The wiring harness should be checked periodically for corrosion and/or decay. Contact your authorized Pride
Provider if the wiring harness needs to be replaced.
Lift Platform/Metal Components
!
Check the lift platform for wear or damage. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for repair or replacement.
!
The lift platform surface may become slippery if exposed to moisture (ice, snow, rain, mist/spray conditions,
etc.). Use caution when loading/unloading a wheelchair in these conditions and wipe off any excess moisture
from the lift platform.
!
Regularly inspect the metal lift components for scratches. Treat any problem areas with a rust inhibitor or metal
sealant.
If your lift system is exhibiting wear that you feel is questionable in any way, contact your authorized Pride Provider
immediately. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or modify the manufacturer settings and materials.
