The SilverBoom 130 can be installed in either side of your vehicle. The illustrations demonstrate installation on the right side.

NOTE: Most roads have a crown to help with wa- ter runoff. However, if the crown is severe enough, it may cause difficulty getting your mobility prod- uct into the vehicle. In this case it may be better to install the lift on the left side.

DETERMINE L-BASE LOCATION

1.Assemble the L-Base. See figure 1. For optimal use, insert the base extensions into the L-base at their farthest extension point and install the hardware (nuts and bolts). The base extensions can be ad- justed to accommodate obstructions.

NOTE: Always insert the bolt from the inside of the L-base. This allows the base extensions to be properly tightened without rattling.

2.Before permanently installing the lift, place the L-base inside your vehicle in the area in which you intend to install it. See figure 2 for L-base po- sitioning in vehicles with hatchbacks, or figure 3 for trunk installation.

Positioning the L-base close to the rear allows the boom-arm to stay as short as possible; this enables the boom arm to swing freely without making contact with the vehicle.

VEHICLES WITH TRUNKS

Position the L-base as shown in figure 3. You may need to situate the L-base so the wheel well doesn’t interfere with the L-base extensions. Ensure there is adequate room for a mobility product to comfortably fit into the trunk.
