V-. The interlock system on a host vehicle must:

Prevent the Lift from deploying when vehicle is in

•

drive or reverse.

Prevent the vehicle from moving when the Lift is

•

deployed.

Prevent the Lift from disabling vehicle if the Lift

•

signals a deployed condition when the vehicle is
moving.

For the applicable interlock electrical connections on the Lift,
refer to the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGRAM in this manu­al. For more information about the interlock connections, call:

MAXON Lift Corp. Technical Service at [phone]

Phone: [phone] FAX: [phone]

E-mail: [e-mail]

3. Open the wheelchair door on vehicle (FIG. 23-1) in

which Lift will be mounted. Secure door wide open.

4. Check the clearance dimensions of your vehicle
before beginning installation. Refer to VEHICLE

REQUIREMENTS section in this Installation Manual.

PREPARING AND POSITIONING THE LIFT - Continued

NOTE: You may use a template instead of the

use a template, refer to USING TEM
PLATE TO POSITION LIFT section in
this Installation Manual.

5. Using an appropriate lifting device that

11921 Slauson Ave. Santa Fe Springs, CA. 90670 [phone] FAX [phone]

can safely lift 500 pounds, raise Lift to the
wheelchair doorway. Place the Lift inside
doorway (FIG. 24-1). Align outboard
edge of Lift threshold plate parallel with
outboard edge of doorway. The decal on
the underside of the Lift platform must
face outboard (FIG. 24-1).

6. Position the Lift according to the clearance di­mensions given in VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
section in this Installation Manual.

7. Remove lifting device and close wheelchair door.

Enter the vehicle. Verify the wheelchair door
closes correctly and the minimum clearance is
3/4”. If door will not close correctly, reposition the
Lift.

USING TEMPLATE TO POSITION LIFT

1. Fabricate template for base plate hole pattern

material that maintains correct shape and
dimensions.

Lift arms can hit vehicle body before platform reaches the ground. See the
vehicle fl oor levels plotted in FIG. 11-1 and maintain the clearance for the fl oor
level that applies to your Lift installation.

2. Center the template inside wheelchair door-

way (FIG. 27-1). Line up the outboard

MOUNTING THE LIFT

NOTE: MAXON recommends using all 10 carriage screws (Kit items) to bolt Lift to

vehicle. A minimum of 8 screws or bolts and use of holes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 9 are
required for correct installation. Also, the 3 front holes should be selected to
give a symmetrical bolt pattern (i.e. holes 5,10, & 8 or holes 6,10, & 7).

1. Use template (FIG. 27-1) or the base plate on the
Lift (FIG. 28-1, holes 1-10) to mark eight (8) to

11921 Slauson Ave. Santa Fe Springs, CA. 90670 [phone] FAX [phone]

ten (10) 7/16” mounting holes through the vehicle
fl oor. Before drilling holes in the vehicle fl oor, make
sure no wires and fl uid lines are too close to hole
locations. Drill holes 1, 2, 9, 3, and 4.

NOTE: Vehicle fl oor must meet the requirements shown at the beginning of the

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS section in this Installation Manual.

2. Position Lift so holes 1-10 in the base plate (FIG. 28-1)

are aligned with the correct holes drilled in vehicle fl oor.

3. Temporarily secure Lift to vehicle with two mounting

bolts (Kit items), inserted through base plate holes 1
and 4, or holes 2 and 3 (FIG. 28-1). Use two lock
nuts and correct under-vehicle supports (Kit items) to
secure the Lift. Use instructions supplied with vehicle
installation kit to select the correct bolts, nuts and sup­ports. Alternately, tighten the two bolts and nuts to 20

to 30 LBS.-FT.

WARNING

!

To prevent personal injury and equipment damage, make sure power is discon­nected from Lift when installing electrical parts.

NOTE: Apply dielectric grease on all electrical connections after all electrical cables are

connected.

1. Attach 90 amp main circuit breaker (Kit item) to

vehicle so power cable (Kit item) is within reach
of the battery, as follows. Find a place to attach
bracket (FIG. 29-1). (Note: The power cable must
be able to reach between 90 amp circuit breaker
and (+) battery terminal without straining the con­nections.) Attach 90 amp circuit breaker to brack­et. Next, attach bracket to vehicle with four (4) #12
self-drilling screws (Kit items).

CAUTION

Never route an energized wire. Make sure the battery is disconnected. Always
route electrical wire clear of any moving parts, brake lines, sharp edges, and ex­haust systems. Never route power cable next to a wiring harness on the vehicle.
Do not loop excess cable. Cut the cable to fi t and leave slack. Attach securely.
If drilling is necessary, be sure to check underside of vehicle before drilling so
you do not damage any fuel lines, vent lines, brake lines or wires. When routing
electrical wire through a hole in vehicle fl oor, use supplied grommet to protect
wires from chafi ng.

1. Locate and drill a 1-5/16” hole through

the vehicle fl oor (FIG. 31-1). Drill the
hole in a location that will be hidden
by the pump cover and that will allow
power cable to be routed to power input
bracket (FIG. 31-1). Since the inter­lock system wiring from the Lift also
branches out in that area, locate the
hole so the 3-conductor Interlock system
cable can be routed from the Lift through
the vehicle fl oor to the vehicle safety in-
terlock. Install the plastic grommet (FIG.
31-1) on the vehicle fl oor with 2 of the
#12 self-drilling screws.

4. Cut any excess wire from long power cable.

Strip 1/2” insulation from the cut end and
install 2 GA terminal lug and shrink tubing.
Next, insert the power cable through the
protective cover (FIG. 32-1). Connect the
cable terminal to the terminal stud on the

5. Route the interlock cable from safety interlock

system on the vehicle, underneath vehicle fl oor
and through the grommet, and up to the Lift (FIG.
32-2). If possible, use the same cable routing as
the long power cable installed in previ­ous steps. Secure the interlock cable
