II. SAFETY
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).
INSTALLATION
Y our SilverBoom lift system was designed to be mounted primarily in a motor vehicle. Mounting your SilverBoom
on a platform, where the height of the lift may cause the lifting strap to extend beyond a safe point, can damage the
SilverBoom and injure the operator of the lift. The distance between the top of the boom-arm and the mobility
product 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 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 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 may be put.
Lifting non-Pride products with the SilverBoom 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 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, r esulting in damage to the mobility
product being lifted and injury to the lift operator.
OPERA TOR 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.

III. INSTALLATION
The SilverBoom can be installed in either side of your
vehicle. The illustrations demonstrate installation on the
right side.
POWER ROTATING BASE SHR OUD REMOVAL
Installing a power rotating base requires that the base
shroud be removed in order to access the rear mounting
holes of the L-base. See figure 1.
1. Remove the 4 screws that secure the shroud to the
base.
2. Carefully lift the shroud up and off of the base.

NOTE: SilverBoom lifts that have a power rotating base should only be installed into a van or SUV.
DETERMINE L-BASE LOCA TION
WARNING! The lift is heavy.
Assistance may be necessary during
installation. Use proper lifting
techniques and avoid lifting beyond
your physical capability .
1. Assemble the L-Base. See figure 2. 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 adjusted 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 Lbase inside your vehicle in the area in which you intend to install it. See figure 3 for L-base positioning
for SUV’ s and vehicles with hatchbacks, or figure
4 for trunk installation.
NOTE: 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 motor vehicle.
