Maximize chair bolt height on a qlock or ezlock. Wheelchair accessible van center position lockdown
A video showing how I maximize the wheelchair docking bolt height by routine the lockdown harness under the vehicle.
For vans with under floor ramps, it takes a little more work. the floor needs removed so the harness can be secured under the floor.
All in efforts to improve the customers experience and hopefully avoid having their wheelchair bolt catch door thresholds in houses or other places.

      It's name, not mine. VSR. It's really a solenoid. Which links the batteries to charge the auxiliary battery when the main battery is above 14volts. Then isolates the batteries when main battery is below 13.8volts. Installed aux battery, for the power inverter. This way the inverter will never drain the main starting battery. Inverter has a low voltage shutoff. But still shutting off at 10.8volts.. wouldn't be enough to start your vehicle. So that why I've added the auxiliary battery.

    Hi Chris, thanks for this video. We're considering the same UVL setup for our 14 year old daughter. I have a couple of questions. - Does the UVL self level if on a slightly uneven or raised surface? Thinking about a slight slope at the end of a driveway where we typically load/unload my daughter. Thanks again!

    • @christopherkirish
      @christopherkirish ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on how much of an angle and which direction. Front/rear or side/side angle. The cassette is mounted to the vehicle frame. It has some tolerance and the outer barrier does not deploy until the platform is lowered. It has some adjustments but does not "self-level". It has plenty of down travel. For customers with an excessively steep driveway or uneven area where they park. Many customers found it more cost effective to buy a few bags of concrete and level out an area specially to deploy the lift. Or extend the driveway or parking pad.

    • @Boblawlaw26
      @Boblawlaw26 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@christopherkirish Thanks for the fast response! We have a pad poured that's raised about 3.5 inches from ground level with a very slight grade. Our hope is the UVL could work only lowering about 2 inches from the bottom of the UVL. It sounds like that and a very slight slope would be ok. I have just only seen videos where the lift is deployed in parking lots and perfectly flat. Thanks again and really appreciate the information!

    • @christopherkirish
      @christopherkirish ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use the overrides in the circuit board at the pump housing. That will bypass all the limit switches and make the outer barrier actuator move up or down. The circuit board has buttons to bypass all functions. Up/down, in/out, and barrier fold/unfold. Then I'd recommend getting it to your local mobility dealer to get repaired

      Both. When it's not in water it exits through the prop. There are 2 small exhaust ports on the lower unit above the water line, so when it water it exits through the lower unit. When in gear and with accel, the exhaust exits through both the prop and exhaust ports. I can only assume the water in the prop acts as a dampener, because the sound is quieter and less like a lawn mower like it was in my first video.
