INSTALLATION
Your Caddy Wheelchair Carrier is designed to be mounted to a vehicle hitch system. Before installation, ensure that the hitch shows no signs of rust or wear and that the front and rear vehicle suspension is acceptable. If any vehicle alterations are necessary, make sure that you fully understand the instructions for drilling or cutting before making any alterations.
WARNING! Before drilling or cutting into the vehicle, make absolutely certain through visual inspection that there are no obstructions in the path of the drill bit, such as the fuel tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires.
INSPECTION
Before using the Caddy Wheelchair Carrier, check the device for wear or damage. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for repair or replacement. Regularly inspect the metal components for scratches. Treat any problem areas with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.
TRANSPORT VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Make sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground before attempting to load or remove a wheelchair onto or from the carrier.
WARNING! Use extreme caution when driving with the carrier installed on your vehicle. Be aware that the carrier extends away from the back of the vehicle and extra clearance is needed when backing up, turning, parking, or driving through driveway entrances/ exits. Drive slowly when negotiating pot holes, road bumps, and railroad tracks.
