SilverBoom 130
III. INSTALLATION
The SilverBoom 130 can be installed in either side of
your vehicle. The illustrations demonstrate installation on
the right side.
NOTE: Most roads have a crown to help with wa-
ter runoff. However, if the crown is severe enough,
it may cause difficulty getting your mobility prod-
uct into the vehicle. In this case it may be better to
install the lift on the left side.
DETERMINE L-BASE LOCATION
1. Assemble the L-Base. See figure 1. 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 ad-
justed 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
L-base inside your vehicle in the area in which
you intend to install it. See figure 2 for L-base po-
sitioning in vehicles with hatchbacks, or figure
3 for trunk installation.
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 vehicle.
VEHICLES WITH TRUNKS
Position the L-base as shown in figure 3. You may need
to situate the L-base so the wheel well doesn’t interfere
with the L-base extensions. Ensure there is adequate
room for a mobility product to comfortably fit into the
trunk.
