LIFTING THE MOBILITY PRODUCT

WARNING! Before operating the SilverBoom 130 for the first time, be absolutely sure you have the proper dockingdeviceforyourmobilityproduct.

1.Position your mobility product (if lifting a scooter, en- sure the key is removed and the tiller is fully lowered; if lifting a power chair, ensure the power is off) on the ground behind the installed lift. Be sure that there is ample space between the mobility product and the ve- hicle bumper to ensure that the mobility product will not hit the bumper while being raised. If the mobility prod- uct is too far from the vehicle’s bumper, the mobility product will be dragged when attempting to lift it.

2.Position the boom arm over the mobility product.

3.Operate the lift (use the hand control—see fig- ure 13) in the downward direction until the lift- ing hook reaches the T-bar. The lift strap should drop straight down to the T-bar. See figure 14.

WARNING! Inspect the lifting strap before each use for twisting, fraying, and signs of wear.

"Keep tension on the lifting strap with your free hand when lowering the lifting hook.

"Lower the lifting hook only to the T-bar of the docking device.

WARNING! Do not extend the lifting strap past the warning label located on it. See figure 15.

5. Operate the lift in the upward direction.

WARNING! Always keep hands clear of the lifting strap while the SilverBoom 130 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:
