LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The Exterior Lift System is an electromechanical device designed to lift various types of mobility devices for the
purpose of vehicle transport. The Exterior Lift System is designed for a maximum Class II hitch allowance of
190 lbs. (86 kg) and a maximum Class III hitch allowance of 350 lbs. (158 kg). Under no circumstances should
the Exterior Lift System be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the lift system to the strain of hoisting
more than it is designed to lift may cause it to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility device and/or injury to the
lift operator. Refer to the mobility device owner’s manual for information on the overall weight of the mobility
device before lifting.
WARNING! Adding accessories, oversize 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 the maximum hitch
allowance.
INSTALLATION
The Exterior Lift System is designed to be mounted to a vehicle hitch system. Before lift installation, ensure that the
hitch shows no signs of rust or wear and that the front and rear vehicle suspension is acceptable. If any vehicle
alterations are necessary, make sure that you fully understand the instructions for drilling or cutting before making
any alterations.
WARNING! Before drilling or cutting into the vehicle, make absolutely certain through
visual inspection that there are no obstructions in the path of the drill bit, such as the fuel
tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires.
LIFTING NON-PRIDE PRODUCTS
The Exterior 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. Lifting non-Pride products with the Exterior Lift System is done at the operator’s own risk, and Pride
accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from such use.
PRELIFT INSPECTION
Before operating the Exterior Lift System, inspect your surroundings to ensure that the lift system has a clear path
of operation. Remove any possible obstructions before operating the lift and do not allow children to operate or
play near the lift.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
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 the raised lift platform. The operator should also keep his/her hands clear of the lift system
to avoid the potential for injury.
TRANSPORT VEHICLE POSITIONING
Be sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground before attempting to load, lift, or remove a mobility device with
the Exterior Lift System. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged before loading or unloading a
mobility device.
