POSSIBLE CAUSE
SUGGESTIONS
•
Hold-down arm will not stay
upright or is difficult to move.
•
Platform is difficult to move.
Improper adjustment at pivot
points.
Tighten or loosen bolts until hold-
down arm or platform operates
smooth with some resistance.
The platform handle is hard to pull. Lack of lubrication.
A lubricating spray (WD-40) will
loosen the linkage to the platform
latch. Lift up slightly on the
platform to release pressure on
the release latch.
•
The lift does not reach the
ground when completely
lowered.
•
Lift bottoms out while entering
driveways or going over
bumps.
•
Wrong ball mount or hitch
adapter position
•
Wrong hitch adapter
Check the connection of the swing
bracket to the outer tube. Normal
range of operation is 8" - 12",
measured from the bottom of
the flat hitch bar or the bottom
opening of the hitch receiver to
the ground. Taller vehicles require
drop hitch adapters, which can
be obtained from an authorized
Harmar dealer. Lift should be
installed at the highest adjustment
point possible.
