OPENING THE SWING AWAY: 
IMPORTANT
CAUTION!!
Many scooter and chair owners require access to the rear of a vehicle.  To accomplish this a Swing Away option is 
added to the lift installation.  This allows the complete lift to be conveniently and easily swung away from the back of the 
vehicle and allow easy access to the trunk or lift gate.  The Swing Away option can be purchased from any authorized 
dealer and added at any time. 
Grasp the lift firmly and swing it out away from the vehicle. 
The Swing Away can be opened up to 180 degrees from the 
closed position to allow full access to the rear of the vehicle.
!!  NEVER OPERATE THE SWING AWAY WITH THE  CHAIR or SCOOTER ON THE LIFT!!  
This will cause damage to the Swing Away,  lift and potentially cause damage to the vehicle and the chair!!
Always insure that the vehicle is on level ground before attempting to open the Swing Away.  
Failure to do so may result in the operator losing control of the lift causing damage to persons and property.
CLOSING THE SWING AWAY:
CAUTION!! Always install the safety pin.
