To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Harmar Mobility Lifting System lift operate slowly or not at all?
If your Harmar Mobility Lifting System lift is operating slowly or intermittently, a potential cause could be a bad electrical connection or a tripped circuit breaker. Check and clean all connections that might be loose or dirty, because the lift motor requires quality electrical connections to operate at full capacity.
What to do if my Harmar Mobility AL500 makes a ratcheting sound?
If you hear a ratcheting sound when the lift is all the way up, it indicates normal overload protection. This sound MUST be heard, as it confirms the platform is all the way up and the chair/platform is secure.
How to fix a Harmar Mobility AL500 that doesn't reach the ground?
If the Harmar Mobility Lifting System lift does not reach the ground, check the attachment of the hitch adaptor to the hitch post on the back of the lift. It is possible that the incorrect hitch adapter was installed.
Why isn't the license plate light working on my Harmar Mobility Lifting Systems?
The license plate light runs from the four-prong trailer plug located on the vehicle harness that powers the lift. Check that the four-prong connector is wired correctly.
Why is there extra wire leading to the lift motor on my Harmar Mobility AL500 Lifting Systems?
The extra wire is provided in case a swing-away option is used with the Harmar Mobility Lifting Systems lift.
