2. Quiet-Ride Guided Stow Blocks:
Quiet-Ride guided stow blocks are mounted to
both top parallel arms to reduce "in-out" platform
vibration. The platform side plates make contact
with (nest in) the stow blocks. See Photo J at
right and Photo A on page 16. The stow block
mounting brackets have oval mounting slots
provided for “in-out” adjustment.
Fold the platform in fully (stowed). Grip the top of
the platform and attempt to move the platform "in-
and-out." The platform side plates should be
making contact with (nesting in) the stow blocks
so that the platform does not rock (move “in-and-
out”). If the platform can be easily moved in and
out, reposition the adjustable stow block
bracket(s) as needed.
Mark the position of the bracket(s). Unfold the
platform, loosen mounting hardware and reposi-
tion (shift) location of these brackets as needed to
result in a tighter fit (positive contact) between the
stop blocks and the platform side plates. Tighten
the mounting hardware securely.

Adjustable Quiet-Ride Guided Stop Blocks and fixed

1. Vertical Upright Deflection:
Lift towers (vertical uprights) must be parallel
(aligned) with the platform side plates. If the lift
towers are deflected in (toward platform), or the
towers move (vibrate) “side-to-side” during vehicle
movement, metal-to-metal contact can occur
between the parallel arm pivot pins and the platform
side plates (particularly opposite-pump side).
Positioning of and tightening of base plate mounting
bolts substantially affects vertical upright deflection
and “side-to-side” movement of towers. Tighten
base plate mounting bolts as detailed in Step 2 of
the Lift Installation Instructions (see page 16).
installation procedures can result in potential rattles
also. If lift rattles occur, review the details in this
section for possible source(s) and remedies.

3. Handrail Rubber Bumper:
Vibration can occur between the handrails and
the vertical arms. This vibration is eliminated
with the rubber bumper mounted on each
handrail (factory-equipped). The rubber
bumper is positioned such that it contacts the
vertical arm when the lift is in the fully folded
(stowed) position and prevents direct metal-to-
metal contact. Refer to the part numbers at
the right for replacements.
