Follow these steps for safe and efficient operation of your Harmar AL300 lift.

1. Abbassamento della piattaforma: Use the control switch to lower the lift platform to the ground level.
2. Positioning the Mobility Device: Carefully drive or roll your scooter or power chair onto the center of the lift platform. Ensure it is positioned squarely and securely.
