Pre-Installation Notes
W
A
RNING
Install lift and power
platform to fully
folded position before
removing shipping
straps. Failure to do
so may result in
serious bodily injury
and/or property
damage.
There must be a minimum 1/8"
clearance between the de-
ployed bridge plate assembly
and any obstruction on the
vehicle floor (such as a rubber
sill or threshold). See Figure S
on page 25.
Passenger's Seat (Vans):
Position (shift) the passenger
seat fully forward prior to
installation procedures. In
vehicles equipped with custom
seats, it may be necessary to
remove the passenger seat prior
to installation and reinstall and/or
relocate upon completion. If the
seat is removed, keep all mount-
ing hardware for possible reinstal-
lation.
Running Boards: If the vehicle
is equipped with running boards,
it may be necessary to remove or
modify the running boards to
provide adequate lift clearance.
Platform Drift:
Read this information before
removing the clear plastic
shipping wrap and/or placing
the lift in the vehicle.
Due to the “all-hydraulic” opera-
tion of the dual-cylinder L915
Series, hydraulic fluid expansion,
contraction or seepage may
occur. Any of these conditions
can result in platform drift (failure
to hold the platform in the folded
or raised position). Platform drift
may occur during lift shipment
and/or between extended periods
of non-lift use.
Plastic straps secure the lift in the
stowed position during shipment.
Before removing the shipping
straps, install the lift and power
the platform to the fully folded
position (press FOLD switch).
Lift Ground
Two ground cables are provided.
One ground cable is connected to
the pump. The second ground
cable is external (battery
mounted). Both cables must be
mounted to a common vehicle
framing member to provide
optimum ground.
Pump Mounted Ground Cable:
A ground cable is connected to
the pump. The cable must be
connected to a main front-to-rear
vehicle framing member. Route,
position and secure the cable as
outlined on pages 18 and 19.
Vehicle Battery Ground Cable:
The external battery ground cable
supplied with the lift must be
connected to the same vehicle
framing member that the pump
ground cable is attached to.
Note: When mounting ground
cables, remove undercoating, dirt,
rust, etc. from the framing mem-
ber around the mounting holes
(minimum 5/8" diameter area).
Apply a protective coating of
grease to mounting holes to
prevent corrosion. Apply grease
to ground cable terminals and
mounting screws also. Failure to
do so will void warranty of
certain electrical components.
