DOT - Public Use Lift verifies this platform lift meets the public use lift requirements of FMVSS No. 403.
This lift may be installed on all vehicles appropriate for the size and weight of the lift, but must be installed
on buses, school buses, and multi-purpose passenger vehicles other than motor homes with a gross ve-
hicle weight rating (GVWR) that exceeds 4,536 kg (10,000 lb).
WARNING
Engage manual
release before
attempting to install
(raise, tilt or move)
lift. Failure to do so
may result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.

Locate Lift Mounting Brackets
1. Open door(s) fully (min. 90°).
2. Locate center of door opening.
Mark the center point.
3. Transfer center point to the
vehicle frame. Using a front-
to-rear framing member as a
guide, transfer the center point
across chassis to opposite side
front-to-rear framing member
(must be 90° to door opening).
Lift mounting bracket positions
are based on this center line.
4. Measure 22-3/8" to left and
right of the center line to
achieve the 44-3/4" center-to-
center spacing of all-thread
mounting studs.
5. Clamp the mounting brackets
securely in place (all-thread
studs must be vertical).
Engage Platform Manual
Release System: The lift
cable-activated platform
manual release is disengaged
during shipment to prevent
potential drive chain stretch.
Handle the lift with
care. Engage manual
release before at-
tempting to install
(raise, tilt or move)
the lift.

Secure Lift
1. Attach Mounting Brackets to
Vehicle Framing Members
Position lift mounting brackets as
detailed in Step 1 (see Figures C, D
and F). Oval slotted mounting holes
are provided in the mounting brackets
to allow adjustment. Carefully drill
21/64" (.328") diameter mounting
holes at the center of the oval mount-
ing slots (holes may be present).
Twenty 5-16-18 x 1" hex bolts are
supplied for bolting the lift mounting
brackets to the vehicle framing mem-
ber (four per inboard bracket and six
per outboard bracket).
Place a flat washer onto each mount-
ing bolt. Insert bolts through mount-
ing bracket, vehicle floor and fram-
ing member as shown in Figure D.
Installation is typical for all brackets
(outboard brackets require 6 mount-
ing bolts each).
All fasteners must meet FMVSS
571.403 Section 6.3.
2. Position and secure lift.
Thread two 3/4" hex jam nuts fully onto each mounting
bracket all-thread stud. Place one large diameter flat
washer onto each all-thread stud. See Figures G and H.
Carefully position lift in vehicle (aligned with mounting
brackets). Position (slide) the six lift mounting clamps
along the sides of the lift housing until aligned with
mounting bracket all-thread studs. See Figure F. Lower
lift onto mounting bracket studs
3. Height Adjustment
The lift outer barrier must be aligned
with
the vehicle access hole.
The lift housing must be aligned
with vehicle chassis (level). Adjust
the 3/4" hex jam nuts on the all-
thread mounting studs at all 4 corners
of the lift until dimensions A, B, C
and D are equal (within 1/16"). See
Figure G.
Place one large diameter flat washer
onto each mounting bracket all-
thread stud. Thread two 3/4" hex jam
nuts fully onto each all-thread stud
(against lift mounting clamp).
In-Out Positioning
Position the lift to achieve a 2 over-
lap between the deployed inboard
barrier and the vehicle floor.
Figure F
4. Horizontial Adjustment
Shift lift and mounting brackets left-to-right as
needed (lift must be centered in door opening).
Tighten the 5/16" bolts securing mounting
brackets (shown in Figure D) to the frame.
Torque Specifications: 20 foot pounds.
Tighten upper set of 3/4" hex jam nuts (with
flat washer) down to the lift mounting clamps.
Tighten jam nuts.
Torque Speci cations: 100 to 120 foot pounds.
Shipping Block Removal:
Wood blocks are placed in the lift housing to
prevent lift damage during shipment. Remove
shipping blocks from platform and carriage
before running (activating) lift. Refer to Ship-
ping Block Removal Instruction 28942.

Ground Cable Mounting
Pump Ground Cable:
One ground cable is pump mount-
ed. Connect cable to a vehicle
framing member (see Figure J).
Vehicle Battery Ground Cable:
A ground cable (minimum 2 gauge)
must be connected from vehicle
battery negative post to the same
vehicle framing member the pump
ground cable is attached to.
Ground Cable Corrosion:
When mounting ground
cables, remove undercoat-
ing, dirt, rust, etc. from
framing member around
mounting holes. Apply
protective coating to mount-
ing holes to prevent corro-
sion. Failure to do so will
void warranty of certain
electrical components.
Pump Module Mounting
Mount the pump module
case to the inner wall
of the adjacent storage
compartment as shown
in Figure I.
Check for obstructions
before drilling, cut-
ting holes or installing
mounting hardware.
Note: Locate and drill
hydraulic hose, wiring
harness and manual
release cable access
holes before mounting
pump. A 3" diameter
plastic grommet may be
used (supplied).
Figure L
Note: All
wiring harness
connections
must be in-
side the pump
module box.
Vehicle and Lift Interlocks
The pump module is
equipped with a lift interface
9-circuit connector (female
socket). A mating 9-circuit
connector (male plug) is
supplied. To meet mini-
mum NHTSA requirements,
connect to vehicle interlock
harness as outlined in
Figure L (Steps 1-4).
