Clearance:
Center the lift in the opening. See Fig-
ure B. Position the base plate parallel to
(aligned with) the door opening as shown
in Figure C. Close the vehicle door(s).
Position lift as close to the door opening
as possible while maintaining a minimum
clearance of 12 mm between the lift and
the door or wall. See Figure D.
Lift-Tite
®
Latches:
When checking ve-
hicle wall clearance - allow the lift to drift
fully into the Lift-Tite
®
latches to ensure
clearance (should drift occur). See Figure
F. Using the hand pump handle, stroke the
hand pump to stow the lift fully. Then open
the valve slightly (1/2 turn only), and allow
the Lift-Tite
®
latches to engage the vertical
arm pins fully. Close pump valve.

Alignment:
Side-to-Side Alignment:
See Figure B on
previous page. The lift vertical arms and
platform should be perpendicular (90°) to the
vehicle floor and parallel (aligned) with the ver
-
tical sides of door jamb. The vertical arms and
the parallel arms must clear the door opening
when the lift folds and unfolds.
Inboard-to-Outboard Alignment:
See Figure
D. The vertical arms and parallel arms must be
aligned and parallel to each other. See Figure
D. The lift towers should be perpendicular (90°)
to the vehicle floor (except when base plate
wedges are used).
Step well Installations:
It is not permissible
for the base plate to overhang the step well.
Base plate support must be constructed in the
step well for lift support. The structure must be
level with the existing floor and of equivalent
construction (structural strength).

(Typical)
Base Plate Wedges:
The top of the lift may
need to be tilted inboard slightly to provide the
minimum 12mm clearance. Position wedges
as shown in Figure E.
Install wedges to increase platform and verti-
cal arm clearance between lift and vehicle.
