the hook from the docking device.
" Reposition the mobility product.
" Attempt the lift again.
WARNING! The maximum weight the
SilverBoom 130 was designed to lift is
130 lbs. Subjecting the SilverBoom 130
to the strain of hoisting more than it is
designed to may cause it to fail,
damaging your mobility product,
injuring the person operating the lift,
or both.
6. If the mobility product begins to tilt, lower it completely
and adjust the docking device by moving the pick-up
bar in the direction of the tilt (when using a C-arm).
7. Tighten the pick-up bar once the proper balance point
has been found (when using a C-arm).
8. Once the mobility product is raised high enough to
fit into the vehicle, stop the lift. See figure 16.
9. Swing the boom arm toward the vehicle. When
the mobility product is securely in the vehicle, lower
the lift strap until all of the mobility product’s wheels
are on a solid surface.
10. If installed in a van, disconnect the hook from
the docking device and attach it to the T-bar on
the base extension. (This prevents the boom arm from
swinging freely while the automobile is in motion.)
Operate the lift in the upward direction until the strap
is snug. See figure 17.
WARNING! When transporting the lift,
secure the boom arm to prevent it
from rotating in any direction. A
swinging boom arm can be a hazard.
If you can’t secure the boom arm to
prevent it from swinging freely,

remove the motor housing and lay it flat inside the vehicle.
WARNING! Do not overtighten the strap. Doing so may put unwanted strain on the motor,
causing the circuit breaker to trip.
NOTE: If installed in a trunk, disconnect the black-red power harness (see figure 12) and remove the
motor housing and upper post and place it in an area where it will be secure. The height of the boom
arm will not allow the trunk to close.
11. Disconnect the power to the SilverBoom 130 to prevent any accidental movement when transporting your
mobility product.
WARNING! Your SilverBoom 130 was designed to be mounted primarily in a vehicle. Mounting
your SilverBoom 130 on a platform, where the height of the lift may cause the lifting strap
to extend beyond a safe point, can damage the SilverBoom 130 and injure the operator of
the lift.
