Safety, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
SAFETY
Caution: Keep hands away from PINCH POINTS.
Inspect the condition of your Tilt and Tote often. If any parts are worn or damaged
DO NOT USE THE TILT and TOTE. Immediately contact your Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealer.
Caution: Keep hands, feet and any other objects away from the platform as it lowers.
Caution: Some chairs have pneumatic (air inflated) tires. If your chair has this type tire, be sure
the tires are properly inflated. Improper inflation of the tires will affect how the unit fits on the platform
and therefore change the amount of clamping force on the chair.
Caution: Before driving off with your chair or scooter on the Tilt and Tote, make sure that the chair is
firmly held down on the platform.
Caution: When driving with your chair on the Tilt and Tote, slow down for potholes, speed bumps,
railroad tracks, etc. Your Tilt and Tote could be damaged by abuse if subjected to excessive loads
imposed by rough driving.
Caution: Do not enter steep driveways straight on. Enter and leave at an angle to the street so that your
Tilt and Tote platform does not drag on the ground.
Caution: Do not attempt to move the vehicle with the Tilt and Tote platform in the down position. If
moved this way, the lifting mechanism will be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
Every 30 days oil the pivot points on all moving parts.
Check for paint chips and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss black enamel or lacquer to inhibit
rust. This may be necessary more frequently when subjected to salt air or road salt.
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Hold-down will not stay upright or
is difficult to move.
Possible Cause
Improper adjustment at pivot
points
Suggestions
Tighten or loosen bolts until hold-down arm or
platform operates smoothly, with some resistance.
Lift platform is difficult to move.
Lack of lubrication
A lubricating spray ( WD-40) will loosen the linkage
to the platform latch. Lift up slightly on the
platform
The Red T-Handle is hard to pull.
to release pressure on the release latch.
Hitch adapter positioning or
incorrect hitch adapter.
Check the connection of the hitch adapter to the
hitch post. Normal range of operation is 5-19
inches, measured from the bottom of the hitch to
the ground. Higher vehicles require special hitch
adapters, which can be obtained from a Harmar
Mobility Authorized Dealer. Lift should be installed
at the highest adjustment point possible.
The lift does not reach the ground
when completely lowered.
Lift bottoms out while entering
driveways or going over bumps.
