DO NOT
With platform on the ground, drive scooter onto platform, from left (driver's side ) to right, until the rear
wheels are located in the rear wheel spreader bar assembly. Stop when the rear tires contact the ramp
on the platform.
Raise the platform on either lift until the motor's clutch
is heard ( top of travel ). Loosen both nuts on hold down arm, and thread the Hold Down Foot down to
the scooter's deck. Lower Platform about 1-2 inches. Thread Hold Down Foot down once again to
scooter's deck. Raise Platform. Verify Hold Down Foot places adequate pressure on scooter.
adjust the leg so far down that the top of the threaded rod does not protrude through the top
of the pivot tube. Once the foot is adjusted to the proper position, tighten the jam nut to lock it in place.
Once the lift is properly adjusted, lower the platform to the ground and raise it back to the
transporting position. Repeat this several times to make sure all parts are operating properly and
that the scooter is properly secured. Next, remove the scooter from the lift and using the toggle
switch, cycle the lift completely up and down to make sure that all parts are in working order and the
lift fol ds up when it is empty.
Caution: On some scooters, it may be necessa ry to temporarily move the steering tiller forward to
clear the hold down arm as it lowers into the lock down position.
Caution: Some scooters have pneumatic (air inflated) tires. If your scooter has this type tire, be
sure the tires are properly inflat ed. Improper inflation of the tires will change the deck height of the
scooter and therefore change the amount of clamping force the hold down arm places on the
scooter. The scooter can fall off of the lift if not properly secured.
Caution: Be sure to instruct the end user not to enter steep driveways straight on. Enter and leave
at an angle to the street so that your lift platform does not drag on the ground.
NOTE: Drive the scooter off in REVERSE . When the scooter is clear of the platform, raise the
platform by pushing up on the UP/DOWN switch.
