MANDATORY! The SilverBoom 300 is
designed to lift a maximum weight
of 300 lbs (136 kg). Subjecting the
SilverBoom 300 to the strain of
hoisting more than it is designed to
lift may cause it to fail, resulting in
damage to your mobility device and/
or injury to the lift operator.

pletely and adjust the docking device by moving
the pick-up bar in the direction of the tilt (when

IV. OPERATION
11. If installed in a van, disconnect the hook from the docking device and attach it to the T-bar on the base
extension.(Thispreventstheboom-armfromswingingfreely whilethemotor vehicleisin motion.) Operate
the lift in the upward direction until the strap is snug. Seefigure17.
WARNING! Secure the boom-arm so it does not swing during transport. A swinging boom-
arm can be a hazard. If you can not 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 excessive 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.
12. Disconnect thepower to the SilverBoom 300to prevent any accidentalmovementwhen transporting your
mobilitydevice.
WARNING! Your SilverBoom 300 was designed to be mounted primarily in a motor vehicle.
Mounting your SilverBoom 300 on a platform, where the height of the lift may cause the
lifting strap to extend beyond a safe point, can damage the SilverBoom 300 and injure the
lift operator.
