LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The SilverBoom 300 is designed to lift a maximum weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg). Under no circumstances should the
SilverBoom 300 be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the SilverBoom 300 to the strain of hoisting more
than it is designed to lift, may cause it to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility device and/or injury to the lift
operator. Refer to the mobility device owner's manual for information on the overall weight of the mobility device
before lifting with the SilverBoom 300.
WARNING! Adding accessories, oversize batteries, or a different seat will increase the
weight of your mobility device. Verify with your authorized Pride Provider that the total
weight of your mobility device, including the additions, does not exceed 300 lbs (136 kg).
INSTALLATION
Your SilverBoom 300 lift system was designed to be mounted primarily in a motor vehicle. Mounting your SilverBoom
300 on a platform, where the height of the lift may cause the lifting strap to extend beyond a safe point, can damage
the SilverBoom 300 and injure the operator of the lift. The distance between the top of the boom-arm and the
mobility device should not exceed 70 in (178 cm) when the boom-arm is fully extended.
Read and fully understand the directions for drilling the mounting holes for the SilverBoom 300 base before
installing the lift system.
WARNING! Before drilling the mounting holes in your vehicle, make absolutely certain
through a visual inspection that there are no obstructions in the path of the drill bit, such
as the fuel tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires.
LIFTING NON-PRIDE ITEMS
The SilverBoom 300 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 SilverBoom
300 may be put. Lifting non-Pride products with the SilverBoom 300 is done at the operator's own risk, and Pride
accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from such use.
PRELIFT INSPECTION
Inspect the lifting strap of the SilverBoom 300 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
device being lifted and injury to the lift operator.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
Keep hands clear of the lifting strap while the SilverBoom 300 is lifting/lowering a mobility device. 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 device.
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 device.
WARNING! Attempting to lift a mobility device when a vehicle is not on level ground will
cause the mobility device to swing toward or away from the vehicle, making it difficult to
get the mobility device into the vehicle.
