IV. OPERATION
LIFTING THE MOBILITY PRODUCT
WARNING! Before operating the
SilverBoom 130 for the first time, be
absolutely sure you have the proper
docking device for your mobility product.
1. Position your mobility product (if lifting a scooter, en-
sure the key is removed and the tiller is fully lowered; if
lifting a power chair, ensure the power is off) on the
ground behind the installed lift. Be sure that there is
ample space between the mobility product and the ve-
hicle bumper to ensure that the mobility product will not
hit the bumper while being raised. If the mobility prod-
uct is too far from the vehicle’s bumper, the mobility
product will be dragged when attempting to lift it.
2. Position the boom arm over the mobility product.
3. Operate the lift (use the hand control—see fig-
ure 13) in the downward direction until the lift-
ing hook reaches the T-bar. The lift strap should
drop straight down to the T-bar. See figure 14.
WARNING! Inspect the lifting strap
before each use for twisting, fraying,
and signs of wear.
" Keep tension on the lifting strap with your free
hand when lowering the lifting hook.
" Lower the lifting hook only to the T-bar of the
docking device.
WARNING! Do not extend the lifting
strap past the warning label located
on it. See figure 15.
4. Place the lifting hook onto the docking device
T-bar. See figure 14.
5. Operate the lift in the upward direction.
WARNING! Always keep hands clear of
the lifting strap while the SilverBoom
130 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. To prevent dragging:
" Release the lifting strap tension then remove
