LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The lift system is designed to lift a maximum weight of 400 lbs. (181 kg). Under no circumstances should the lift system be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the lift system to the strain of lifting more than it is designed to may cause it to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility product and/or injury to the lift operator. Refer to the mobility product specifications for information on the overall weight of the mobility product before lifting with the lift system.

LIFTING NON-PRIDE PRODUCTS
The lift system is an extremely versatile device, which users may employ to lift items other than Pride products. Pride has no control over such use, nor can Pride anticipate every possible use to which a lift system may be put. Operating the lift system outside of the safe limits as discussed in this manual or using the lift system to lift any item deemed by Pride to be incompatible with the lift system is done at the operator’s own risk, and Pride accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from such use.
PRE-LIFT INSPECTION
Inspect the lifting strap of the lift system before every use for twisting, fraying, and signs of wear. If signs of wear become evident, have the strap replaced by your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! A frayed or worn lifting strap can snap, resulting in damage to the mobility product being lifted and injury to the lift operator.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
Keep hands clear of the lifting strap while the lift system is lifting/lowering a mobility product. The oper- ator of the lift should stand a safe distance from the unit being lifted/lowered to ensure that his/her feet are never positioned under a raised mobility product.
TRANSPORT VEHICLE POSITIONING
Be sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground and the emergency brake is engaged before attempting to lift a mobility product.
WARNING! Attempting to lift a mobility product when a vehicle is not on level ground will cause the mobility product to swing toward or away from the vehicle, making it difficult to get the mobility product into the vehicle.
