OPERATION
LOADING AND SECURING A
MOBILITY DEVICE
Using the wired hand control or optional wireless
key-fob controller, lower the lift platform until it
reaches the ground and becomes level. Start by
activating the hand control with the power button.
The hand control has two operating buttons, UP to
raise and stow the platform and DOWN to draw out
and lower the platform, that must be depressed and
held to complete the desired function. The hand
control has integrated LED lights that can be used as
a flashlight at night. The hand control can be aimed
at the ground or at the vehicle to assist in ensuring
the path is unobstructed. See Figure 3-1.

NOTE: The lift is designed to draw power from the car
battery as needed and will operate while the vehicle is
off. However, it is recommended that the lift be operated
while the car is running for optimal performance.
1.
Loading the mobility device onto the platform.
Determine the heaviest portion of the mobility
device. This is usually under the drive wheels,
motor(s), and batteries. Always walk the
mobilty device onto the platform with the
heaviest portion closest to the lifting tower.
If loading a scooter and the platform has the
AL617 extension plate, position the scooter so
the front wheels are resting on the extension
plate, and the rear wheels are on the main
platform. This allows the heaviest portion of
the scooter to be closest to the lifting tower.
Set your mobility device speed control to slow
speed to maneuver easily onto the platform.
See Figures 3-2.

If no button is pressed after approximately two
minutes, the hand control will turn off automatically.
Press the power button to turn back on.
