WARNING! Pinch/Crush Hazard! Always 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 away from the mobility product being lifted/lowered to ensure that feet are never positioned under a raised mobility product.

Do not drag the mobility product into position using the lift. If dragging occurs, your mobility product is too far away from the vehicle. To prevent dragging:

Release the lifting strap tension then remove the hook

 

from the docking device.

Figure 17. Lifting The Mobility product

Correct the position of the mobility product.

 

Attempt the lift again.

 

MANDATORY! The SilverBoom 300 is designed to lift a maximum weight of 300 lbs (136 kg). Do not exceed this limit.

7.If the mobility product begins to tilt, lower it com- pletely and adjust the docking device by moving the pick-up bar in the direction of the tilt (when

 

using a C-arm).

8.

Tighten the pick-up bar once the proper balance point

 

has been found (when using a C-arm).

9.

Once the mobility product is raised high enough to Figure 18. Securing The Boom-arm

 

fit into the vehicle, stop the lift. See figure 17.

10.Swing the boom-arm toward the vehicle. When the mobility product is securely in the vehicle, lower the lift strap until all of the mobility product’s wheels are on a solid surface.

11.If installed in a van or SUV, disconnect the hook from the docking device and attach it to the T-bar on the base extension. (This prevents the boom-arm from swinging freely while the motor vehicle is in motion.) Operate the lift in the upward direction until the strap is snug. See figure 18.

MANDATORY! Secure the boom-arm so it does not swing during transport. A swinging boom-arm can be a hazard. If you cannot secure the boom-arm to prevent it from swinging freely, remove the motor housing and lay it flat inside the vehicle.

WARNING! Do not overtighten the strap. Doing so may put excessive strain on the motor, causing the circuit breaker to trip.

NOTE: If installed in a trunk, disconnect the black-red power harness (see figure 13 or 13A) and remove the motor housing and upper post and place it in an area where it will be secure. The height of the boom-arm will not allow the trunk to close.
