2. Safety
VEHICLE POSITIONING
Be sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground and the handbrake is engaged before attempting to lift
a mobility product. Before lowering ensure that the hoist is fully out of the vehicle, otherwise your mobility
device may come into contact with your vehicles bumper.
Before lifting the mobility product for the first time, operate the hoist without a load until you are
familiar with the controls and how the hoist operates.
Any adjustment to the hoist settings must only be carried out by an Accredited Autochair Dealer. Your hoist
should be serviced every year to ensure it is in good working order.
If in doubt about any aspect of your hoist, please contact your Accredited Autochair Dealer.
WARNING!
Attempting to lift a mobility product when a vehicle is not on level
ground will cause the mobility product to swing toward or away from
the vehicle, making it difficult to get the mobility product into the
vehicle.
WARNING!
The hoist must never be operated by a child or any person not
deemed appropriate by the technician who installed it.
WARNING!
The safety R-clip must be fitted into the top pin in the A-Frame before
operating.
WARNING!
Note the position of all pinch point warning labels stating “Keep
Clear”. Never place your hands in these locations when the hoist is in
operation.
WARNING!
The hoist must never be used to lift items other than the mobility
product it was originally installed and set-up to lift. If you wish to
lift additional mobility products, contact your Accredited Autochair
Dealer.
WARNING!
Never use a hoist that has signs of damage or excessive wear.
WARNING!
Do not exceed the maximum stated lifting capacity.
WARNING!
Misuse of the hoist may result in serious injury and damage to the unit
or vehicle.
