Decide where to install your scooter lift. The Bruno VSL-670 has an L-shaped base that must be bolted down to the floor of your vehicle. The area must be large enough to accommodate both lift and scooter. Part of the installation process will require that several holes be drilled in the vehicle floor, so inspect the area carefully to ensure that this will be possible and that no wires or other important components, such as the gas tank, will be compromised by the work. Confirm that there is enough height for the lift to function, and that the boom will be able to swing out and return with your scooter attached.
Set the base of the lift into place inside your vehicle and prepare to mark the location where the bolt holes will be drilled. The lift has two legs that join in a 90-degree angle at the base of the lift. Adjust the length of each leg as necessary to allow a proper fit. Once you are satisfied that the lift is stable and that the holes can be drilled safely, use the felt-tip marker and mark the places where the holes must be drilled. Note that there will be three holes: one at the base of the lift, and one at the ends of each leg. Remove the base. Drill three holes at the marked locations using the electric drill and an appropriate bit. Be certain, before you drill, that the hole can be safely made without damaging anything beneath. Install the lift and, using a socket and the ratchet, insert the bolts through the holes and tighten them.
Connect the wires. Locate the red wire and use the wire-crimping tool and a suitable crimp to attach it to the vehicle's electrical system. Locate the black wire and ground it to the chassis. Once the connections are complete, test the operation of the scooter lift to ensure that it is fully functional.
