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.
III. INSTALLATION The SilverBoom can be installed in either side of your vehicle. The illustrations demonstrate installation on the right side. SCREWS SCREWS POWER ROTATING BASE SHROUD 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.
III. INSTALLATION TRUNK INSTALLATION (SILVERBOOM 300 MANUAL ROTATION ONLY) Position the L-base as shown in figure 3. You may need to situate the L-base so the wheel well does not interfere with the L-base extensions. Ensure there is adequate room for a mobility product to comfortably fit into the trunk. WHEEL WELL ASSEMBLING THE LIFT 1. Insert the upper post into the L-base. See figure 5. Figure 4.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Lower the motor housing over the upper post until it rests on the height adjustment ring. See figure 7. WARNING! Pinch Point Hazard! Keep hands clear of the upper post when lowering the motor housing. WARNING! The lift will be top heavy until mounted securel y. Get assistance to help stabilize the lift while swinging the boom-arm. HATCHBACK INSTALLATION- MINIVANS, STATION WAGONS, ETC.
III. INSTALLATION BOOM-ARM ADJUSTMENT Before adjusting the boom-arm, lower the lifting hook about 12 in. (30.5 cm). This will provide enough slack in the strap to enable the adjustable portion of the boomarm (top tube) to be pulled out of the bottom tube to its farthest adjustment hole. See figure 9. To adjust the boom-arm: 1. Remove the bow tie cotter pin from the adjustment pin and remove the adjustment pin. 2. Slide the top tube in or out to the desired adjustment hole. 3.
III. INSTALLATION NOTE: Choosing the correct length bolt allows enough bolt-thread to pass through the undercarriage, ensuring enough room for the mounting washer and nut to be installed securely. 6. From under the vehicle, install the mounting washers and nuts to all five (5) mounting bolts and tighten. See figure 10. NOTE: The holes in the mounting washers are for working around obstructions. Choose the hole that best works in the area you are installing the mounting bolts. 7.

I V. OPERATION PROHIBITED! Avoid exposure to rain, snow, ice, salt, or standing water whenever possible. Maintain and store in a clean and dry condition. HAND/REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION Hand Control The hand control for the SilverBoom 300 operates the lifting strap in two directions, up and down. See figure 14. Power Rotating Base The hand control for the SilverBoom 300 power rotating base operates the lifting strap up and down and the boom-arm from side to side. See figure 14A.
I V. OPERATION Remote Control Battery Replacement As with all electronic devices powered by batteries, the battery of the remote control will eventually need to be replaced. When the lift responds intermittently or no longer responds to the commands from the remote control, replace the battery. To replace the batteries of the remote control: 1. Loosen and remove the screws from the back of the remote control. 2. Remove the old battery. The battery slides in and out from the side.
I V. OPERATION WARNING! Pinch/Crush Hazard! Always 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 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.
I V. OPERATION 12. Disconnect the power to the SilverBoom to prevent any accidental movement when transporting your mobility product. WARNING! Your SilverBoom 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 lift operator.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING LIFT WILL NOT OPERATE " Check the circuit breaker reset button. Reset if necessary. See figures 21 and 22. " Ensure all harness connections are secure. " Ensure the power wire leading to the positive battery terminal is tight and not corroded. " Check the fuse located on the red power wire near the battery. If blown, replace with a new 25-amp fuse. See figure 23. CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET BUTTON WARNING! Do not use a higher rated fuse than 25-amp.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING LIFTING STRAP TRAVELS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF BUTTON BEING PUSHED ON HAND CONTROL Before each use, check that the lifting strap is traveling in the proper direction. If the belt travels in the wrong direction when you press either the up or down button, you must restore proper lifting strap travel. To restore proper lifting strap travel: 1. Pull slightly on the strap and operate the lift until the strap is extended completely past the “stop” warning label. 2.
VI. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The following routine maintenance should be performed at the indicated intervals. Failure to perform the required maintenance procedures at the required intervals may void Pride’s product warranty. Perform prior to daily use: " Inspect lift strap wear and replace if necessary. " Inspect swivel hook for damage and to ensure it rotates freely. " Inspect all external electrical connectors for damage and replace if necessary.
