Parking the Scooter on the Platform:
Before
loading the scooter, verify that the platform has
been lowered all the way to the ground. Set
your scooter’s speed control at a slow speed so
that you may maneuver comfortably onto the
platform. You must drive onto the platform
from the driver’s side of the vehicle. Park the
scooter such that the front wheel(s) is(are) on top
of the front wheel scooter adapter.
Folding Seat Backs:
If your scooter has a
folding seat back you may wish to fold it to the
down position. This will allow you more
clearance when loading the scooter into the
vehicle. Depending on the size of your
scooter, you may need to remove the head rest
to provide sufficient clearance.
Stowing the Scooter:
While holding the hand
control, stand to the side and away from the
lift. Press the up button again. The lift will
raise and retract into the vehicle. The lift is
retracted fully when the platform is 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
scooter that may be hit by the door.
Securing the Scooter 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.
