LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The SilverBoom 300 is designed to lift a maximum weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg). Under no circumstances should the SilverBoom be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the SilverBoom 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 owner’s manual for information on the overall weight of the mobility product before lifting with the SilverBoom.
WARNING! Adding accessories, oversized batteries, or a different seat will increase the weight of your mobility product. Verify with your authorized Pride Provider that the total weight of your mobility product, including the additions, does not exceed 300 lbs. (136 kg).

PRELIFT INSPECTION
Inspect the lifting strap of the SilverBoom 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 SilverBoom is lifting/lowering a mobility product. The operator 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.
