HoverliftManual-RevC 7/8/13 1:01 PM Page 25 Chapter 5 Swing Away Arm Option Swing Away Arm Option Many HOVERLIFT® owners require access to the rear of their vehicle. When this is needed, a swing away arm can be installed. This allows the lift to easily be swung away, up to 180 degrees from the closed position, allowing access to the trunk or lift gate. Typically the added weight of the swing away requires a Class III hitch system. The swing away arm is not intended to be operated with a power chair in place on the platform. Please read and understand all of the warnings and operating instructions before using your swing away arm. • Keep clear of the swing away arm and latching mechanism while opening and closing the swing away arm. • Always ensure the vehicle is on level ground before attempting to open the swing away arm. Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the swing away arm and cause damage to your vehicle and injury to yourself. • Never operate the swing away arm with the power chair on the lift. This will cause damage to the swing away arm, possible vehicle damage, power chair damage and injury to yourself. • Always fold and lock the platform in the up position before attempting to open or close the swing away arm. • Always install the safety pin and check to see the safety pin is in place before operating your vehicle. • Always verify the red knob is fully retracted into the seated position before operating your vehicle.
