II. SAFETY
LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The lift system is designed to lift a maximum weight of 260 lbs. (120 kg) or 440 lbs. (200kg) depending on
the model purchased. Check this by referring to labels on the lift arm. Under no circumstances should the
lift system be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the lift system 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 specifications for information on the overall weight of the mobility
product before lifting with the lift system.
WARNING! Exceeding the maximum lifting capacity of 260lbs or 440lbs may cause the lift
system to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility product and/or injury to the lift operator.
MANDATORY! Adding accessories, oversized 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 additions, DOES NOT exceed 260 lbs or 440 lbs. (120/200 kg).
INSTALLATION
This hoist is intended f or installation in the rear luggage compartment of a vehicle. Read and fully understand
the installation instruction s provided with th e hoist an d the relate d fitting kit instr uctions bef ore installing the
lift system.
WARNING! This hoist is only intended to be installed by an authorized Pride installer or
qualified technician. Separate installation instructions are provided with the hoist and the
installation kit. Read and fully understand both manuals prior to installation.
LIFTING NON-PRIDE PRODUCTS
The lift system 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 lift
system may be put. Operating the lift system outside of the safe limits as discussed in this manual or using the
lift system to lift any item deemed by Pride to be incompatible with the lift system is done at the operator’s
own risk, and Pride accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from such use.
PRE-LIFT INSPECTION
There should be no sharp edges on the hoist, the fitting kit or the scooter bracket s. If you find any sharp
edges, please contact your supplier before use. Make sure that you are completely happy with the operation
of your hoist before operating it yourself. Misuse of the product could result in injury. Inspect th e lifting
straps before every use for twisting, fraying or signs o f wear. If si gns of wear beco me evident, have the
them replaced by your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! A frayed or worn strap can snap, resulting in damage to the mobility product
and/or injury to the lift operator.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
Keep hands clear of the lift arm while the lift system is lifting/lowering or loading in/out 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.

Page 7
II. SAFETY
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.
KEY SAFETY POINTS
WARNING! All models of the Zeus are very powerful in both the UP (lifting) and DOWN
(lowering) as well as the IN (into vehicle) and OUT (out of vehicle) operation. Care should be
taken that the hoist boom and the mobility product that is being lifted are free to move. The
Zeus has the power to break trim and cause harm if not operated correctly.
WARNING! The hoist must never be operated by a child or any person not deemed appropriate
to operate the equipment by the technician who installed it.
WARNING! The safety Pin must be fitted into the top pin in the A-Frame prior to use.
WARNING! Note the position of all pinch point warning labels stating “Keep Clear”. Never
place your hands in these locations when the hoist is moving.
WARNING! The hoist must never be used to lift items other than the mo bility product it was
originally installed and set-up to lift.
WARNING! Never use a system that has signs of damage.
WARNING! Do not exceed maximum lifting capacity.
WARNING! Misuse of the hoist may result in serious injury.
Before lifting the mobility product for the first time, operate the hoist without a load until the
controls are familiar.
Any adjustment to the hoist settings must only be carried out by an authorized Pride Provider.
Your hoist should be inspected at least every year by a qualified person.
If in doubt about any aspect of your hoist, contact an authorized Pride Provider.

IV. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting the Boom (Vertical Extension)
1. The hois t will be provide d a ssemble d and set to a no minal boom si ze suit able f or the vehicle. If a
more optimal boom setting is required the following procedure can be used.
2. The actuator supplied will be labelled with the maximum weight setting. Refer to the charts, provided above,
for the allowable settings for the different stroke actuators. No boom length should be set greater than 35 ½ “
(900mm).
3. Do not set a 440lb (200kg) hoist below 27.95” (710mm) boom length.
4. Before starting, ensure the actuator is fully retracted.
5. If the chart shows that a different lower actuator bracket position is required on the pivot post, this should be
changed first.
6. Fit the Boom Assembly, with the actuator and pivot post, to the A-Frame fitted in the vehicle.
7. Loosen the vertical extension main clamp and the actuator bracket while supporting the horizontal boom.
8. Extend the boom to the desired length to suit the boot opening. Do not exceed the maximum extension.
9. While holding the horizontal boom horizontal (parallel to the vehicle floor), tighten the vertical extension
main clamp and actuator bracket, by hand initially, to hold the hoist in position while the settings are
checked. (Do not load the hoist at this stage).
10. Once satisfied that the hoist moves through its intended movements without fouling the boot opening,
tighten the main clamps and the actuator brackets to the specified torque settings.
Setting the Horizontal Extension
1. The horizontal extension provides two functions; it is principally adjusted to suit the width of the spreader
bar, ensuring the spreader bar can rotate without hitting the boom. It can also be increased to give more
drop when the boom is lowered.
2. With the spreader bar set to the desired width check the rotation of the bar.
3. If necessary, loosen the horizontal extension main clamp and adjust the length of the horizontal extension.
4. Do not set beyond the limits shown in the diagrams.
5. Once satisfied that the position is correct, tighten the main clamps to the specified torque settings.
Setting the Spreader Bar
1. Loosen the clamps on the spreader bar extensions and adjust to the width of the scooter seat or the
required width for the power chair.
2. Do not exceed the limits shown in the diagram and also make sure the arms are extended equal lengths
to maintain balance of the load across the pivot.
3. Loosen the strap clamps and extend the straps to the desired length.
4. Ensure that the straps are of equal length to keep the spreader bar level during lifting.
5. Once satisfied that the positions are correct, tighten the main clamps and the actuator brackets to the
specified torque settings.
